    How much did you pay for your civic?

    '97 LX sedan, 70k, $1500. From my parents, back in 2006.

    Last time I got the flu shot (2011?) ... I got the flu. Haven't gotten the shot since, and so far, haven't caught the flu either. *knocks on wood*

    Problems with P0505, two codes showing up?

    It appears that this was the solution to the problem. ;)

    Problems with P0505, two codes showing up?

    You kept the IACV on the manual, right? Making sure, because if you swapped the one over from the automatic, 99-00 IACV's are different between auto (3 wire) and manual (2 wire). I agree with the others on checking your throttle cable. Pull your intake and take a look at the throttle plate...

    Misfire

    No need to be sorry for bringing it up. Doing so brought up the discussion of potentially damaging components, which I'm sure OP is glad to know of, even if the risk of damage is incredibly low. Better to know something than to know nothing at all. ;)

    Just a heads up to @Paul Hansen, I moved the discussion in regards to your reverse lights into your tech thread. You can find that here. So, 2017 was the year of the cryptocurrencty. Pot stocks are where it's at this year, fellas. My stock has gone up 841% in the last 10 days. As long as Elf...

    Car won’t start after aftermarket stereo install

    Genius. When I worked at Best Buy back in 08/09, I was always forced to try to sell warranties. I didn't make commission on them. So my selling point was "Buy this laptop, then buy this 3 year warranty, then a month before it's up, throw the laptop down a flight of stairs. We will cover it, and...

    Car won’t start after aftermarket stereo install

    Have any Interstate battery centers near you? My buddy got one there for $50 + core charge. Cheap because they have some sort of external blemish on them but work fine. So they can't sell them to other stores, but allow people to come to them to buy. Not sure how the warranty works for them...

    New wheels and rubber

    Half the views are probably bot crawlers :lol: I Yay'd this, though. I had 17's on my Civic, and as long as you're not slammed, it rides fine. That being said, I was a fan of my 16's much more, as I was able to use a slightly higher profile tire. Not sure if it was the tire or if something were...

    96 Civic (D16Y7), Transmisson stuck in 2nd gear!!

    Yeah, Y7 transmissions are pretty weak when it comes to taking abuse. Since you said the trans fluid is good, likely your 2nd gear set is chewed up.

    Check engine light won't go off

    Never assume the code is the same. Stop down to your local parts store and borrow a code reader. Then you'll know =P

    What's the high end $$ return on a '98 Civic 4-dr EX quality re-hab?

    Have any pics of her? Likely not worth the time and effort to restore, IMO. Especially if it requires body work.
