ok i wrecked my car a few weeks ago and it overheated and surged. i got it backtoday ,and all the body work is done and it doesnt overheat anymore. however it still surges bad and i duno what the problem is. all the lights flash dim-bright-dim-bright. and the idle surges a little too. does anyone have any suggestions on how i may be able to fix this myself, or should i just take it to a shop and get themt o fix it? and also, how do i check for codes telling me why my check engine light is on?

 

and also, my speedo doesnt work but my gas and temperature gauge work. a friend of mine said that maybe reseting the ECU would work. anyone know how this is done. by the way my cars a 96 civic

 

take the fuse out of the ecu slot in the fuse box in the engine bay

 

search. engine codes have been covered multiple times

 

check the speedo cable for the speedometer ... and the surgeing bleed the engine i bet the guy that installed the radiator didnt bleed the air out of the block and that would be the problem ... and just reset the ecu and you should be fine


if it is being covered by the insurance company then i would tell them to deal with it
