Very little chance it could be mold then but take a look inside the vents and see if they're clean. I believe there's a spray you can use to kill mold. Could be ATF. I know you mention that it's not but ATF does have a distinct odor. Check along the top of the exhaust system to make sure there...

Do you live in a high humidity area? Is the car automatic or manual? Have you recently performed any fluid changes?

Disconnect the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter and see if that makes a difference at idle. Have you replaced the fuel filter?

A voltmeter is always handy, whether troubleshooting a battery or alternator in your car, an outlet in your home or testing out resistors, voltmeters are invaluable.

Don't rule out the oxygen sensor. Primary or secondary? How are you reading the voltage? Car warmed up or cold? Put a load on the car. Your transmission issues will greatly differ from your engine troubles, please follow boofo's advise with the troubleshooting.

Ok, first off, it's "always". Second, if you make a 360° turn, you end up facing the same direction. No need to try and explain this one any further, we all know what you were going for. Also, try using some periods and commas, it might help you get your point across a little better. :thumbs up

Like HeX said, try doing a little research, it takes just a couple of minutes to compile a basic list. You can then spend more time looking into the vehicles you narrow down and make a decision based on the pros and cons. If you have more of a technical question after that, by all means, ask...

If you have a Type-R emblem, then you have VTEC. Oh, and also one of these... You should have VTEC-E. Took me 30 seconds to look that up by the way. It took me longer to download that picture, edit it, log into photobucket, upload it and paste it here for you.

Translation does get mixed up in text, so I'll take that back. I can understand your frustration and maybe that's what came across. Trust us, we're on your side here and want to do everything possible to help you out. Most of us have never rebuilt a transmission so without that knowledge, your...

Don't rely on just one shop testing the alternator. Try this and go from there -

You can remove the belts and apply power to each component individually (I hope I don't have to stress that you need to be really careful here) to test them.

That is why I despise those (_|_)holes! They are unprofessional, unethical, dishonest-thieves who don't know sh*t (for being "certified mechanics")...and on top of that, they get on this high horse like they know quantum mechanics. Good job on doing some research, a lot of people come here...

On your second picture, why is there a tie-wrap(s) (in an "X" shape) on the two rods, behind your interior door/lock handle? Third picture does seem to indicate that you're missing the "locking" rod. I would suggest heading out to your local junk yard and sourcing one out, along with anything...

Does the car start with no issues every morning? Does the car only start after it's been sitting for a long time?

Of course! I never argued this or advised the OP to do otherwise, I only provided additional troubleshooting steps and suggestions. Maybe I should ask him to check his exhaust, that way, you have a legitimate excuse to b***h about something. This is the same rhetorical question as the first...

Because I've seen the results of people mutilating their car's harness and then making funky connections to other accessories, hence my question at the end of post #6. Does it hurt to check for any other blown fuses?

So you're saying you're no longer able to make the unit power on? If that's the case, definitely double check all your fuses (engine bay and below the dash) and verify the fuse on the stereo; it may have an internal fuse as well as one on the stereo's harness. After you check all your fuses...

Look at your service manual and determine the viscosity and coolant mixture based on your region's climate.

Where are you loosing coolant from? Can you tell where it's leaking from (radiator, hose(s), water pump)?
