When it has a problem even when jumped by another car with not starting does the dash do strange things with flickering lights and gauges? If yes then it could be a bad ground wire to the engine or...

Re: AC indicator not turning on during HVAC self test

Yes the fans turn on properly now. The problem is the compressor thermal switch is not working, after jumping it the compressor clutch engages. The heater console AC button turns the clutch on and...

Re: AC indicator not turning on during HVAC self test

Funny, went out to pull the multiplexer and low and behold the AC light comes on, when it was pulled down out of the holder. So now it works properly during the self diagnostic check :thud: Now on...

Re: A/C Compressor Clutch not Engaging

After Honda troubleshot the AC for me they determined that the thermal protect circuit is bad. It's too cold outside to short it out and bypass it so it'll have to wait until the spring/summer to...

Re: Cylinder #3 firing issue

I got you, it could be the #1 and #2 are running lean when they shouldn't be. But it was way too rich and coating the spark plugs, even though our engines run slightly rich, I could smell lots of...

Re: Cylinder #3 firing issue

I couldn't check the compression even though I have the tester because it is a hose type and I wouldn't be able to get it into and out of the engine block (actually got stuck the first time). I...

Re: A/C Compressor Clutch not Engaging

Yes that's true but if you check the pressure switch is shorted with an ohm meter it means that the pressure is at least good in a rudimentary way. If it is open then it means that there is no gas...

Why is "measure the voltage between the #18 terminal (red wire) of ECM/PCM connector E and a body ground with the ECM/PCM connectors connected" considered bad in the circuit? Is that preventing the...

Re: 2003 Civic Coupe SI (Canada) ECU problem with car in USA

Yes this is a D17A2 engine with VTEC. So since we're trying to avoid a reprogramming then I need an EX MT ECU. Indeed the key can be added to the ECU quite easily without getting all of the other...

Re: 2003 Civic Coupe SI (Canada) ECU problem with car in USA

Ok thanks for that confirmation.

Re: 2003 Civic Coupe SI (Canada) ECU problem with car in USA

Re: 2003 Civic Coupe SI (Canada) ECU problem with car in USA
