    Check Engine Light After Jump Starting

    A battery should last longer than 3 years, but something like leaving the dome light on for a few hours can be enough to zap it. My guess is that once the car was jumped, there was still low voltage, which is why all those CELs popped up. Eventually the battery puts out enough power to...

    My 97 Turbo Coupe

    wow you really don't have room for the dump tube anywhere haha. I'd have preferred to have a custom one fabbed up though, other than cutting a hole in the hood. Be super careful to not be caught in a rain storm!

    My 97 Turbo Coupe

    Question, since you're in NY: I had a boosted B18 back in the day.... I couldn't pass inspection so I just ran it until she rusted away.. I went 3 years un-inspected and even got pulled over by a state trooper with it expired, but luckily he didn't notice. Do you just hope to not get pulled...

    Transmission question

    I didn't use one for a few months back when I had my Civic. With that being said, I assume myself lucky, and would recommend getting on on there. If you browse other forums, it's littered with people saying it's not needed and that they've never had any problems. But, since it's like a $20 part...

    '00 EX rough vibration at start-up

    Start with the easy stuff... check the motor mounts. Easy check, open the hood and try to rock the crap out of the motor.. it should move slightly, but if you can get it rocking back and forth chances are you have a missing or torn mount somewhere and should be further inspected. Second obvious...

    What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

    It's awesome right? I got reimbursed to go from Rochester to N. Kingstown Rhode Island... twice in a month.. because the network admin ordered the wrong switch. He pre-configured it and shipped it to the office. I get there to install, get it in the rack, start moving lines over, and wifi and...

    D16z6 help?

    Myself included. But, I at least removed the cruise control unit after I disconnected it, lol.

    Confused!?

    An ODB1 P73 ECU does not exist in the USDM, only ODB2, which isn't an option if OP wants to run s300 (without modifying the connections inside the ECU). JDM P73 ECU is ODB2 but will work similarly to ODB1. BUT, if OP is getting a new harness anyways, why would get get an ODB1 harness and then an...

    Confused!?

    Not really true. It's actually better to use an ODB2 harness from an Integra in this case, IMO. http://technet.ff-squad.com/hybrid.92-95.obd2.htm Scroll down to ECU & Wiring Explained section :thumbs up OP, I would recommend an ODB2 LS Integra harness, no ODB2->ODB1 conversion harness needed...

    D16z6 help?

    Most likely the cruise control was never hooked back up after someone did the swap. You should be able to hook it back up, assuming everything you need is there. If you don't want cruise control, you can remove it.

    2010 Civic sedan upgrade options

    You're going to get conflicting answers because there's no one precise solution. There are many, many options available to you. If you are looking just for sound, just get an axle back or even just a muffler. But don't expect much if any performance out of it. If you want a little extra power...

    First oil change

    How much is the kit? Blackstone will send you a kit for free, and only charge you for analysis. I have a kit from them, just have yet to turn it in. I wanted to do this test twice, once with Mobil1 syntheic, and once with my mechanic's house synthetic, to compare them...

    Low Mileage with 97 Civic EX

    All it takes is hard acceleration.. a little but old but still a good read here: http://blog.automatic.com/aggressive-driving/ With that being said, 26 is probably normal if you're city driving the entire time. Easy way to test -- fill er up and baby it for a tank, see what happens. :thumbs up
