My wife's car has a low tone noise/vibration from somewhere in the front, that gets louder the faster we go, and seems to be related to wheel speed, not engine rpm. Car seems to run fine otherwise. ...

Re: 98 Civic EX - Fel-Pro HS9915PT1 - Incorrect exhaust flange gasket?

Re: 98 Civic EX D16Y8 - Bad head?

How do you check for cracks? There was nothing visible to indicate such.

We checked flatness using the edge of a square. There were no highs/lows. I'm sure there are "better" tools, but that's...

Re: 98 Civic EX - Fel-Pro HS9915PT1 - Incorrect exhaust flange gasket?

I can verify that the gaskets I was referring to are for the manifold flange. EXCEPT, they are for the LX, not the EX model. So I had to buy new ones.

In case anyone needs the info, the part...

Re: 1998 Honda Civic EX with P1457 Code

It's been 7 months since I cleared the code last. I did a good wipe of the gas cap and filler opening, and am guessing that did the trick. At least I hope.

98 Honda Civic EX Manual - Type of trans fluid?

Re: 98 Civic EX - Why is it bad to flush your manual transmission?

It's manual.
