Re: Failed smog test. 1995 Honda Civic LX

Learning to do this yourself is great. muellersfan is a great advisor. But if the old guy will get behind his $350 fix by agreeing to be paid only upon your passing SMOG at a site of your choice, why...

Re: Please post head codes from your Honda engines here

You seem to have an HX vtec-e head on a mystery D16A block managed by a DX non-vtec ECU. Does it run ok? I would think it would run poorly since the DX ECU will expect both intake valves to fully...

Wonderful car, man. Go get that trunk lid at the junkyard... this car is so clean and was so cheap that it is worth the extra touch. Also, props to ChryslerKid and his super clean Civic with 40+ MPG...

Regarding just the loss of gauge lights, you say you have no fuses blown, but did you check the under dash #15 specifically? And do you have SRS? If so, #24 is correct but the wiring diagram says #12...

Re: Tapping after head gasket replacement on 2000 Civic HX

Hi Xist! Glad to see you on this forum. I agree with the above: valve lash and oil circulation. Investigate both. Check valve lash before you loosen anything because if it is normal, then why adjust?...

Re: 99 Civic EX - hard starting problem when engine is warm

This is a four year old thread. I suggest you start a new one and give the forum details on your specific situation. You'll probably get more response.
