Installed the new Throttle Cable. Was an easy installation. It took me about 15-20 minutes, and this was the first time I have ever done it. So, that means it was easy! $25 Throttle Cable from my local Honda Parts Shop. Gas pedal functions perfectly now! I have been testing for the last 3...

1. When installing the new throttle cable do I need to add any lubrication? 2. If yes, what exact name and type of lubrication? Thank you.

Thanks for the info everyone. I have cleaned it a couple of times both where it attaches to the gas pedal inside the vehicle and under the hood. It is still sticking. It is my car, but my wife was driving it and she actually was remarking on it this past weekend. When mama ain't happy, no...

Excellent answers everyone. Thank you very much. I will check out all of these things and get back to you!

I have noticed that my gas pedal is sticking a little bit. It is when I take my foot off of it, and I put my foot back on it, I have to push a little harder to move it, then it functions fine. But initially, I have to give it a little more of a push. This doesn't happen all the time, but it...

So, I am activating my keyless door lock entry for the first time in my 98 Honda Civic LX. And I am having problems. Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong. So on my Radio, when I go through the steps with the car off, turn the key and press the VALET button, all of the locks unlock...

You guys are great! Thanks for all the info... I will incorporate it all! Except the one about "cover your car in clay and cut little dimples into it like a golf ball".. I will have to sleep on that one. LOL!

ronJ is amazing! Thanks... I am HOOKED UP!

RonJ, excellent. Thank you. More questions. 1. Where would you suggest that I get the wireless remote? 2. Does it have to be a Honda Civic wireless remote or is any remote smart enough to memorize the signal from the head unit/radio? Thank you.

RonJ, can you contact me offline at nickenumbers@yahoo.com I wanted to ask you about the keyless aspect of the 98 Honda Civic. Even though I didn't opt for the keyless option from the dealership, what do I need to do to activate it? I do have the Valet Switch on my head unit/radio. Thank you.

jcamb, please email me so I can get details on your extra power door lock control unit.

Holy Cow! RonJ you are the amazing! Thank you very much for all the help!! Simply astounding!
