    CEL came on, Idle not as smooth (intermittent)

    CEL came on this morning, I have not had a chance to get the code read (might be a few days for this). I haven't been DD'ing this car, my family has. What i noticed when I drove it though was idle was sometimes rougher that usual and that when braking to a complete stop the roughness appears...

    Newer cd player/radio work in a 99 civic?

    i like the look of oem CD players, i don't like these fancy aftermarket things with 101 lights on it that go differenct colours.... 50 buckls was definitely cheap... cheaper than aftermarket... anyhow i guess i'll stick to radio and my fm transmitter thanks for the help!

    Newer cd player/radio work in a 99 civic?

    So my civic only has a radio, no cd player. Would the CD player from an 04 Civic work? Someone is selling one on craigslist for 50 bucks. Would I need any special adapters? What about sound quality, would it be good?

    Here's some pics, I just looked at everything and put it back together I've numbered the plugs starting with one being the furthest cylinder away from the distributor, 4 being the closest. So 1 is on the right if you're standing in front of the car and 4 is on the left. What I noticed...
