Re: Bad that I leave out one of the valve cover bolts?

it's definitely not stripped, it's in there normally, if i could just get a grip on the top of the bolt i could easily reverse it out of the hole. and i have a replacement bolt

Bad that I leave out one of the valve cover bolts?

Quite some months ago I broke one of the valve cover bolts off in the cylinder head while putting the valve cover back on (i torqued it way too much), now there is the bottom half of the bolt stuck...

Re: What kind of front bumper is this?

That's a heartbreaker. What other options do I have for my 98 DX? A bumper that'll just bolt in place of the old one.

PS: That's an awesome thread you linked to. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of front bumper is this?

I was looking around on Google Images and I found this 1999 Honda Civic Si that has a few minor mods (nothing unpleasing).

535348

I want the same front bumper on my Civic.

I wasn't sure if...

Re: Interior dash light problems (flickering, not staying on, dimming)

RonJ, the motor works fine. And the switch turns it on and off fine too. The problem is the light inside of the switch. When I turn on the recirculation motor by pushing the button, the light inside...

Interior dash light problems (flickering, not staying on, dimming)

Let me list some problems:


The HVAC control button lights are nice and bright until I turn on the DRL (which thus turns on the rest of the interior dash lights) and then they get really dim to...

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

Exactly right, thanks a ton for all the help. MUCH appreciated.

I repaired the wires and the car has been idling for 10 minutes now with the A/C on. Nice cold air and no problems.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

I found the spot in the wire where it is broken.

Right behind the headlight. The wire rubs against an A/C line that gets really hot. Melted threw it and the copper is frayed.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

Okay, 11 hurting fingers later I got the connector off, I shoved the DMM probes in there to test and absolutely no continuity.

So this explains why the A/C button didn't disengage the compressor...

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

Found the connector, god all of this shit is covered in electrical grease and it's very difficult to get to the C352 connector.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

How am I supposed to check continuity from the hood fuse box, stick a DMM probe in a pin slot where a relay goes? If so, which relay and which pin? I assume 87a or 30, which relay?

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

Yeah I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in the OP, if not I must have been confused when typing it because I was tired and I was telling people in person about that all day.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

How am I supposed to tell if the clutch engages if the engine isn't running?

Also, am I plugging both of those connectors back in to test this?

This is what you're talking about?

That Blu/Wht wire to body ground is reading 12 volts with the engine not running.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

When I ran a continuity test from Blu/Wht to frame there was no continuity. And with Blu/Red there was like 9 mega ohms of resistance. I tried to follow the Blu/Wht wire to see where it went to see...

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

I spliced into the Blu/Wht wire and ran a short wire from it to the frame to ground it. The switch is still plugged in.

I already own an expensive multimeter and I used it a lot already.

Re: A/C compressor clutch starts spazzing out and almost making car stall

It's still a somewhat fix because it's making the compressor clutch engage and cold air is coming out of the vents in the car. Which is why I also put quotations around the word itself because I...

Well without my "fix" the compressor clutch never engages regardless of the A/C button.
