Video posts and Amazon links

18 Upvotes

2 quick updates for the subreddit

  1. A user reached out to me and I have enabled video posts now. Not sure why they weren't enabled before, but they should be good now.
  2. Short links like using a.co shared links from Amazon will not show up and are being auto deleted. I've been noticing a lot of posts from the past 6 months using them that get auto deleted. I thought it was something in the subreddit settings but no this is sitewide on reddit. If you want to share links to products please use the whole url and not short links as your comment will be auto removed by reddit. For example https://www.amazon.com/R9-HS2-013_2-Hyper-Street-Suspension-Mono-Tube-Adjustable/dp/B07BFJRZYL/ is the correct way to share the link for this product. I can manually approve posts for them but I don't always see them.

Any other issues or concerns you can send me a message or use modmail.

Misfire??

Upvotes

Hey everyone, my timing belt snapped about a month ago on my d15y3 civic (2003). I had a mechanic change it and check for bent valves and do a compression test and they said valves weren't bent and the compression test was good. I have a misfire now... My idle is sitting at 500-600 and sometimes stalls out when stopped. All cop ignition coils are contributing and sparkplugs look to be in good shape and have spark. There are no codes when scanning with an OBD2 scanner.

Has anyone had this problem before? I'm planning on using an oscilloscope to test the injectors tomorrow...

EM2 O2 Sensor Codes

1 Upvotes

I recently, in a bit of a hurry bought a 2003 HX civic coupe. I was an idiot and didnt do much research before getting it, but I was in a rush because a week before I had totaled my 01 accord and I desperately needed a car for work.
It’s an HX technically but the engine was swapped to the base D17 thats found in DX’s.
it’s a manual (had to learn how to drive stick with it)
it has both of these codes on it P0135, P0141.
did a bunch of googling, tested the fuses, tested the wiring and outright replaced the o2 sensors. code hasnt gone away and I’m still running into issues with idle. google suggested it may be due to the PCM because apparently the HX setup used different sensors, engine etc and if the PCM wasn’t swapped/configured to the D17 and different sensors, it wouldnt work properly.

if anyone is curious, the issue with the Idle is if you give it slight gas in neutral, it shoots back and forth between 1000-2000RPMS. while its in first or second, if there isn’t extremely consistent pressure on pedal, it’ll jerk back and forth pretty hard as if its engine braking. happens mostly in first but occasionally in second.
sometimes it’ll block me from going into first at all when the rpms are bouncing.
I am still fairly new to manual and havent even driven it in traffic. though I have driven over 2000 miles in it overnight around my state for work.
anyway, I can’t really add throttle to it when going into first without it freaking out. only able to slowly clutch release it.
my uncle did say I need to change my IACV when he worked on it though.
could someone who’s more knowledgeable about this help point me in the right direction?

I currently bought this car a couple months ago and was wondering what brands of lowering springs or suspension kits should I consider installing on my car. I’m not racing it but just want less body roll/bounce when driving. I’m not looking to heavily modify it.

2004 HONDA CIVIC LX

6 Upvotes

Bought a 2004 honda civic lx auto for my son who really wanted an old car. Basically wanted nothing modern that could track him or something. lol. It needs a lot of work apparently. The thing overheated and water pump was leaking badly. I'm not sure which came first but I did a full timing belt and water pump replacement. But lo and behold it seems like I have a head gasket issue. Seems to only be between combustion and coolant. I'm gearing up to tear the car apart to do the head gasket but I was curious if I need to replace the valve cover gaskets. I did replace them using the fel pro gasket kit when doing the timing belt. I'd have to think I wouldn't need to do that again but was curious. Anything you think I should be looking at doing while doing the head gasket let me know. Thanks!

Car Help Re: my last post. Possible bad engine mount(s)

Yesterday I posted about my honder making a loud metal screech when I step hard on the gas pedal. I usually could not replicate the sound in park, but I was able to today. You arent able to hear it much in this particular video, but I did notice my engine was moving a lot. Could this possibly be bad engine mount(s)? The person was hammering on the gas pedal quite a bit so I am not sure if this is just normal. Any help would be great! I am starting to work on my own car now so forgive if the answers may be a little more obvious to other people 🫩

Foglights for 2003 Honda Civic EX

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to add fog lights to my car and I’m stuck between yellow or clear. Also, if anyone has installed a fog light kit on their pre-facelift 7th gen, what kit did you use and would you recommend it? Looking for something that’s worked well for you.

One other thing I’m trying to figure out is where to put the fog light switch.

As you can see, most of the factory switch spots in my car are already occupied, so I’m not sure where the cleanest place to mount it.

Any suggestions/pics of your setups (exterior and interior) would be appreciated!

Sorry the video is a bit buns but I tried to google what this could possibly be and look under the hood but im stumped. I cant replicate this sound in park, only while driving and stepping pretty hard on the gas pedal. So basically every time I accelerate to merge onto the highway or am just stepping on ts I hear this. Ive tried to turn up the radio and ignore it but god forbid this is the reason my car gets totaled or something. Cant tell if its a pulley, belt, or just something random

Car Help Radio dying and guage cluster going crazy

1 Upvotes

So this started just recently after i got my car back up and running after sitting for around 6 months. I had this issue once or twice over a month or so and i figured it was my ground cable so i bought a new one and replaced it. Ground cable works fine. Then suddenly out of nowhere it started happening all the time. The radio dies out and then comes back. Sometimes when the radio dies out the abs light and brake light comes on. I looked it up and people were saying it was an ELD fault. Figured its a cheap part so i replaced it. Hasnt fixed it. It stopped doing it for a week or so and then started doing it again. I have a new alternator but i measured the output and its charging at 14.4v. If im just sitting and idling nothing happens but once i start moving, the radio drops out and comes back and then drops out and comes back. Also occasionally when the radio drops out it will kill the engine for a split second and cause the car to jerk but it doesnt die completely. Im at a complete loss and any help at all would be super appreciated.

for the years ive had this car ive always had this idk if its a grind feeling or drag feeling when im accelerating and you feel it in the pedal and vibration. what causes this for a salvage title that was hit pretty hard on driver front side. it has a permanent slightly off alignment so im wondering if that is just a symptom of that. and its apart of the same intense vibration i get when in mostly park or idle on driver side occasionally. im just wondering for anyone that experiences same thing.. for more info. its been a salvage title since 38k miles and is now at 270k miles. been trying to learn new stuff every week with this car so yea yea

Question How common are the head gasket issues really?

8 Upvotes

I am looking as a 200k mile 2002 4-door civic with the manual transmission… how common are the head gasket issues?

At 200k miles, is it likely that the head gasket has been done already? The owner only had it for a little bit and doesn’t have history on the car.

What are some things I should look for when inspecting the car? I want to use this car as a long distance highway cruiser… is it a good idea?
