Re: 95 LX D15B7 Failed emissions; high HC+NO

No CEL's at all and the light works.

Parts were a little late to come in, and my timing gun had a burnt out bulb (old Sears one), but I finally had everything replaced and rechecked.
All in all I...

Re: 95 LX D15B7 Failed emissions; high HC+NO

I'll have to see on Monday if the tester workers can do that for me thanks for the tip.
Rotor and cap were pretty scorched on the tips, spark plugs are all fairly white though with some minor orange...

Re: Can a well-cared-for D15B7 engine with 250k miles be rebuilt? Or should I replace

Those SureFire engines have horrible reviews. One person complained that 3 in a row had issues, bad cylinders and leaking head gaskets. I wouldn't trust it to last 50k miles, let alone 100k+. Yea,...

Re: How to test whether 6 yr old battery should be replaced?

I can't find the Honda OEM CCA specs for that year, but new batteries are in the 500-600 range for CCA. If yours tests to within that you should be OK.

Re: 93 Civic - Shaking and Tach jumps at 1000 RPM

My 95 LX steering wheel shakes like that, although the rest of the car just barely shakes. 155k on mine.
Seems like the main motor mount (front left upper) is the culprit.

Mine only does it...

re: How to test whether 6 yr old battery should be replaced?

Easiest way is to take it to Autozone, OReillys, Advance, etc and have them check the cold cranking amp capacity, and overall health.

How old is it?

Re: $The Value Thread$ What's It Worth? Should I Buy? What's the Cost?

I'm trying to decide if the repairs for my 1995 Civic LX are worth it for when I resell, or if I should just to keep it as-is for a reliable beater car.

Re: 95 Civic "Death Wobble".

Have you had the tires inspected for lumps/bumps and any irregularities? A warped sidewall or tread(especially from it sitting or dry-rotting) can completely cause this wobble.

Yea, reusing the head bolts might have been a bad call. At least after the crap this motor has been through.
