Hello everybody, new to this forum and Honda's, it's all I have for now, I usually drive older Ford's, the kind with Windsor's, 4 barrels, distributors, 8 plugs, top loaders and 9" rearends. But, for now I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX 1.7 sedan, it was given to me when my last ride got repo'd. Yeah, I know a lot of people love um, no problem with that, I watched all the F&F movies, I like the big black car more than the little green one, but anyway, here I am.
My little egg beater has 265k on it, it was overheated by previous owner, ( a nephew), delivering pizza's, but I fixed all of the damage he did to except for doing a head job, probably has a crack in it, still burns a little water.
I think my MICU is fried now, I freaking hate electrical issues but I deal with um, because I can.
I don't run from problems, I fix them, big or small.
Because I don't like to be defeated. So, here I am, learning all about EEPROM's, MICU's, reprogramming things and all the good stuff.
I quit high school in 1976 when I started the 10th grade because I already knew I was going to be a mechanic, my old man fixed and launched F-4 Phantoms in the Navy back in the day, and I wanted to fix cars, I was notorious for joy riding before I of legal age, that's another story.
Anyway, I went to 18 months of tech school full time at day while getting my GED at night, got my auto mechanic certification and my GED.
First job was a mechanic helper, for another 18 months, then I joined the U.S. Air Force, was a crew chief on the McDonald Douglas F-15 Strike Eagle for a while, it was great !!!!
And now, I drive a worn out 02 Honda, go figure, still trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
But, just thought I'd intro myself, as long as I don't hear " found-on- road- dead", we'll get along just fine.
I'll see yah at the other end of the track,
. and one of my street names is "Slow Joe" , but it's got nothing to do with cars...
Nice to meet you all, thanks for allowing me to join the party...

I think my MICU is fried now, I freaking hate electrical issues but I deal with um, because I can. My nephew worked part-time working on my car while he was studying. He says he was able to find time thanks to https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me who do assignments for him. I haven't heard of it before, but it turns out there is a service for your papers. Sounds like a very handy thing. I don't run from problems, I fix them, big or small. Because I don't like to be defeated.

Hi! I'm also new to the forum. You have impressive experience. I have a 1997 Honda Accord that I recently bought at a good price. Now I'm gradually figuring out its quirks. Have a great day! Since I'm in college, it will be a long journey, but I really enjoy it.

Hello Springlad, nice to meet you, and thanks. Yeah, sometimes the quirks are hard to diagnose, but with persistence we can conquer all !!! See you later
