Re: 05 Civic Hybrid CVT Won't move in any gear

There is no way your transmission could have been properly serviced. Even under heavy abuse, the most that should happen is that the CVT belt actually breaks or the CVT clutch wears out.

Re: 05 Civic Hybrid CVT Won't move in any gear

I'm still convinced that it was either one of the internal seals or the "start" clutch that has gone bad. Looking at the 2001-2005 service manual, there are several possibilities.

Re: car is running rough

Did you try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to clear the ECU and force it to "re-learn" how to make the engine idle? Remember that each time you change a variable, you have to...

Re: K20 swap or newer car?

I think engine management for 3psi is unnecessary if your car is running rich already.
What other factors am I missing then?

I'm not fully understanding your sentence.
I'm talking about small levels of boost from a turbo (like 5psi).

Thanks.

This thread keeps reminding me that I need to schedule an appointment to have my valves adjusted too when I get around to replacing my head-gasket and head studs

I don't have my service manual with me, but your figures look correct from what I (think I) can recall. Your mechanic can easily set the proper gap with a feeler gauge.

Re: 02 civic ex ticking noise (video)

Yes it can wait. The tappets for the valves usually slacken up together.

If it was a case where the problem was with only one valve, then you would have to go get that fixed right away.
