Found a rabbit under the hood of my CRX about a week ago, and the following pics sum up what that rabbit had for dinner the night before.

I know where this line goes - from the FPR to the nipple on the IM:



Not sure where the other end of this one goes:



Possibly to one of these two lines that got chewed? Where do these two go?



Here's my throttle cable - you think I should replace it?



Also chewed thru some of the loom and part of a green wire in this section of the engine harness - right below where the tape is. Suggestions for fixing that?



Does this fuel line need to be replaced? It's not chewed thru entirely, I don't think. If I need to replace it, is an OEM piece the best way to go?



What hose hooks up to this nipple on the IM? Is this just another vacuum line? (Must be, since it was just rubber line...)




Thanks for any and all help - I have all day Saturday to get this **** back in working order!!

You need to invest in a garage or large dog. - Darrell

 

Wish I lived where the CRX lives. If it stays where I live, it gets stolen. If it rests where it is now, rabbits get rocks thrown at them by my Mom

I'm thinking of finding a way of sealing off the bottom of the engine bay with some sort of chicken wire or "hardware cloth"... or maybe I should just drive it more often!!

or a Bobcat.

 

Did you actually catch the rabbit in there? I would be having rabbit stew if that little **** did that to my car.

 

The throttle cable is probably unaffected but i'd get a new one because it's fugly.
I'd get a new fuel hose. The pink colored nipple on the tb goes to the map sensor.
For the wire i'd unwrap it all and check it out. Should be pretty easy to figure out. Use solder gun and heatshrink tubing to fix.

 

My Dad could have fun with my old BB guns, and then have rabbit stew...haha

Yeah, I caught the rabbit in there. I popped the hood, and there was a rabbit basically chillin' right on top of the PCV. I just about shat myself!! The rabbit went flying one way and I stood there with the hood in my hand and watched it's hungry little *** take off into the vegetation. I've found "pellets" (rabbit or rat or mouse crap) in there before, but never any damage - it was a long time ago, after those fires in SD (October 2003).

I decided that for now, I'm going to leave the cover off the car, so the gray rabbits don't see the gray car cover, and think it's a momma rabbit.

For the fuel hose -



#4, right?

Yeah, it's $62....do I have any options outside of OEM?

Thanks for the help thus far!!

Alex

 

Also, for the throttle cable - I've got these options on http://www.slhondaparts.com -

17910-SH3-A31 WIRE, THROTTLE $16.36
17910-SH3-A91 WIRE, THROTTLE $18.56

Which one is the right one?

Maybe the Rabbit was a mechanic in his past life, anyways you could get 1 from the junkyard.

 

It sounds gross, but you can get fox urine from feed many stores and spread it around where the car is and it usually works to keep furry little animals away for a while

 

Not a bad idea!! Might give that a shot.

Now what about those throttle cable part numbers - which one do I need??

Alex

 

id put out some rat poison, i would also put some inside your car,

my mother in laws prelude got destroyed by a feild mouse, it at through all of the wiring inside the car, she went to start it nothing would work, had it towed to honda, spent almost 1500 in having the whole car rewired, mouse **** everywhere also

 

Another good idea...

I'd rather keep the pests away by driving the car more often too!!

So....does nobody know what throttle cable I need?!?
