Re: Why does my Integra cruise control take AGES to actually engage and take over??

Cable styled - cruise systems (both vacuum and electronically actuated) have some degree of lag built into the system, since neither of them know exactly where the throttle pedal is. In vacuum...

Re: Suggestions needed: Leaking oil pan gasket. It's a myhondahabit unit too.

Some vehicles are more prone to this type of leak by design, and it is very important that this is considered. For example, the 99-00 Civic D16Y8 engine uses a molded rubber "o-ring" style design for...

Re: Troubleshooting: "Clicking" clutch pedal

Was the clutch ever replaced or serviced for any reason? A lot of 2001-2005 Civic's have a "notching" feel in the pedal, and the root is inside the clutch master cylinder itself (I've been on the...

Re: 00 honda accord v6 transmission problem

This is a typical problem with the B7XA transmissions. The clutch pressure control valves in the valve body can leak fluid and cause a really weak 2nd gear shift. Your unit will need to be rebuilt...

Re: 91 accord automatic transmission shifting problem

A shift interlock will not cause a vehicle to shift on its own "Accord" lol..... (Anyways) I'm going to assume that "downshifting" to you is going to a lower gear number, and "upshifting" is going to...

Re: Are my belts too tight? B20b

The sound the system is making is that of diode overload in the alternator. This sound is common to a lot of alternators with bad diodes or brushes. If you do not have a stethoscope, remove the drive...

Re: 2015 Honda Odyssey EK-L - Shifting Rough

Transmission adaptive learn is not perfect. Before you take the vehicle to a dealership, do some due diligence. If you do not do this you may convince yourself that you are in need of a repair when...

Re: Coil on plug setups - do I really need one in my case?

Individual cylinder ignition does not have any real power advantages per-se in any vehicle. The entire reason they exist is to provide secondary and tertiary spark to ensure all air/fuel elements...

Re: 1999 Acura cl 2.3 manual transmission shift linkage leak

Given you have oil on top of the shifter I would say you could have an engine oil leak in the same area.

Looking at the vent tube and how clean the metal is in that area, I would suspect that you...

Re: Gen 2: A/C Pressure Readings

The cycle time of the compressor is dependent on a lot of environmental factors. In colder temperatures, the compressor will cycle more frequently because less heat will be removed from the interior....

Re: Gen 2: A/C Pressure Readings

Low pressure cutoff appear to be working correctly. Your pressures and temperatures overall appear to be low, which to me is indicative of a vehicle interior that is already cold. I have drawn axes...

Re: ANC Diag

And you also could have saved time by not responding at all. I have time to kill. Go apply dielectric grease to some ECM connectors and get warranty time for it, or is that over your head?

Re: Help, transmission issues

Crack in the 4th gear clutch drum/worn o-ring seal is likely. This is very common on overheated Civic transmissions, and units that have high mileage/wear and tear. This problem generally starts with...

Re: Changed Hydrualic Clutch but feels like its forced when running

You need to take the time and describe your problems. Do you mean it feels like you have to force the shifter into gear with the clutch pressed?

1995 Ford Mustangs are susceptible to clutch issues.

Re: Hard to shift from neutral to third

Does the shift growl/kick back at you when it finally sits in gear?

No sense bleeding the clutch, just hold the clutch pedal down, place it in 5th gear, and hold it there with the engine running...

Re: Need quick advice on transmission issue

Incorrect gear ratio codes will result when the transmission speed sensors are in correct correlation, and the TCM detects slip (RPM variance) in a specific gear position. This is a mechanical...

Re: 2nd and 5th gear pop out

A synchronizer does not control fork location, it only controls the quality of the gearshift itself. Bearing wear is the primary cause of gearshifts that do not stay in position. When the bearings...

Re: A few transmission questions

1: When the shift is in 2, you are starting in 2nd gear. This can be evidenced by the release/engagement that is felt when you move from D3 to 2. 2 and 1/L are physical gearshifts, and shifting...

Re: BMXA Main Valve Body Separator Plate

Bluing to the plate is usually not a problem, and is more common that you might think on some teardowns. The biggest area to focus on is the oil pump I/O, which are the large openings on the upper...

re: ***Air Conditioning - A/C Guide, How it Works, and When it Doesn't***

Sounds like two issues, one, your system should not operate it if truly has not refrigerant in it, it should fast-cycle as the system take up a charge, this is a low-pressure cutoff problem. This...

re: ***Air Conditioning - A/C Guide, How it Works, and When it Doesn't***

This is a first for me, and you should document this process and the valve replacement itself thoroughly. I have never seen a manifold gauge valve fail to open the low or high side port when fully...

Re: air will not leave clutch line

What is causing the bolt to "blow off"? Is this one of the mounting bolts?

Still need vehicle and modification history from you. Chevy trucks are also known for breaking CMC bolts.

Re: mechanical water temp gauge funny readings?

ECT sensors are normally positioned near the engine-side of the thermostat. The placement you have shown will not engage the fans until water reaching the cold side of the thermostat is overheated,...
