    spark plug gapping

    I gapped them, the pre gap was actually bang on... only takes a few seconds per plug though, definitely worth it.

    spark plug gapping

    It says to gap them to factory specs, but as I said, the factory specs match the gapping that are already on the plugs...

    spark plug gapping

    Hey guys.. another in my long line of questioning! I am replacing the plugs in my 04 civic, the NGK plugs I bought are the ones specified for the car, and the gap specs for the plugs (I found it on the NGK website) are the same as the gap specs for the car, so do I still need to use a gapper...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Hello all.. in case anybody was wondering, I got my car back from the dealer, and it turns out that it was a faulty fuel gauge. They replaced the entire cluster. I filled up after I left the dealership, and all seems well! So the mileage was never off, it was just the gauge. Thanks for...

    Wiper arms...

    Hey guys, I am looking to replace the wiper arms on my 04 Civic, I have found a few places that I can order from online, but I figured I would check first if anybody had any suggestions? The only reason I want to replace them is because the paint has started to flake off on the end of the...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    I never even thought of that... I have only gone through 1 full tank of gas since buying it, I have only had it 2 weeks. And the car was essentially just sitting on the lot from February or March or something like that before I bought it, so that is a possiblity. What was the result of the...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Hey, just checked out the tires/wheels and they are stock, the Canadian LX has 185/65/R15 tires, and they is what they gave me... So that isn't the problem! I am increasingly thinking it is either a gauge problem, or was just a fluke. In any case, as I said the dealership is giving me the...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Hi guys, thanks for all your help, much appreciated... I haven't answered everyone individually, cause I am still trying to get all the answers! The funny thing is that by the morning yesterday when I started the car again, the gauge went back up about 4 notches, leaving me with 1/8 of a tank...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    I don't thikn this is the case... If the AC was always on, then wouldn't I always notice the temp being colder in the car? If I turn it on and off, I can notice the difference in temp... Good point on the battry I will check that... first thing though, as I said, I have only had the car 2...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Nope it is pretty much a flat road from home to work.... and I parked flat.. turned the car off, then back on, and it was the same... I am thinking that it is going to be somtehing stupid, like the spark plugs or air filter, but still, I just bought the bloody car, and they say they inspect...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Hey.. yeah the car seems to run fine no problems at all... When I filled it up I had about 13 gallons in there, maybe a little more... The tires are brand new, from the dealership, so they should be proper size.... I don't think the odometer is off, it is matching up with the distance that I...

    2004 Civic LX very poor gas mileage

    Hi guys, I am new to the forum, so all your help is greatly appreciated! I just bought (2 weeks ago) a 2004 Civic LX from a local Honda dealership, and I got 384km (238miles) until my fuel low indicator came on, which is horrendous! I am pretty mad right now, as there is clearly something...
