    weird braking after brake replacement

    Actually, the sequence used by the OP is the correct sequence for a 5G Civic. The manual should list the correct bleed order for a given car.

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    So I need to check the hoses leading to and from the PCV valve for clogs/leaks?

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    3.5 US qt. is what the Helm's shows for an oil change including filter and 4 qt. for an overhaul, so I guess I have a total of 4 qt. It's losing oil (not just through the breather), so sometimes it's ~0.5 qt. low. Yes, it still does it after the oil change, but changing the PCV valve seems...

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    No, that's what it showed on the dipstick when I went to check the oil. At first, I wasn't even sure it was the right dipstick, but I changed it oil, put in 3.5 Q, and sure enough, it came right up to full.

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    Just to be clear, I'm not still running 6-7 quarts. It's usually at 3-3.5 now.

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    Yes, it's a '93 CX with a D16Z6 swapped in. There's some kind of CAI on it, but all I know about it is that it has a 2.75" OD pipe and it's painted silver.

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    So it's okay that it's dripping in to my air filter?

    Is it normal to have oil coming from my valve cover breather?

    The kid at AutoZone didn't seem to think it was a big deal, but I'm not so sure. I've got some kind of cold air intake on the car, and there was a hose running from the breather to the side of the intake. It was cracked at the breather, and oil was dripping from there. There was also oil...

    Odd Brake Noise

    I finally got around to putting some brake quiet on my left pads, and it hasn't done anything to eliminate the creaking, which is only on the left side. The right side has been totally quiet the whole time. I also replaced the left LCA when I did the calipers and pads, but when I tightened...

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    I'm not really sure where it's coming from. The engine is basically covered in grease, as is most of the engine compartment. I plan on getting some degreaser when the weather is a little nicer and cleaning the entire engine compartment so I can start looking for leaks. The dude at Valvoline...

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    Well, I can take a couple of pics, but I'll tell you right now that it looks like crap. :lol: The kid I bought from had rattle-canned it black, but didn't do the greatest job masking it. Then he decided he didn't like the way it turned out, and started sanding all of the paint off of it. Then...

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    lol Sorry, but it would seem that my nails are a rather poor indicator of my gender.

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    lol Well, I don't know if that's transferrable, but I'm certainly no VIP. I'm actually a bit surprised I'm not sporting a shiny Noob badge.

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    Actually, I'd already put it on my DropBox for a buddy. You can find it here. Man, your wiring diagrams are much easier to read than mine. lol

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    Interesting. My copy of the Helm's doesn't show that on 23-16/23-17. It shows something similar on 23-20, but it doesn't show the connecters. My copy has the '92 model split in to two PDFs, and there are addendum PDFs for years 93-95, with additional PDFs for the '94 Coupe and the SRS...

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    The diagrams are actually really helpful. I figured they were from the Helm's, but Ron's scans always have the page numbers cut off, so I don't know where to find them in the overall book. I can't search my PDF of the manual, so it can be difficult to find specific information, especially when...

    Thanks, Ron. That's a lot of plugs. lol Edit: What's the source of that image?

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    Thanks again, Ron. Can you tell me what harness(es) I need?

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    Would that be preferable to getting one at the junkyard? Pick-n-Pull list a "Wire Harness No Acc (Lrg)" for $35. Is that what I'm looking for, or would it be something else? Would I be waiting months for the correct harness to appear in the yard? lol Well, that doesn't surprise me at all...

    Do I really not have an oxygen sensor??

    lol Oh, I know. I bought it because it was $900 and it ran, and then I put about $250 worth of parts in to it just getting it to pass safety. Now I've got a laundry list of things that need to be done, prioritized by benefit and cost. Replacing the oxygen sensor seemed cheap and easy...
