Suspect "blower motor resistor"- its a common part and can give the exact symptoms.

Chances are your spark plug tube seals are leaking, all civics have them (just like on earlier civics). Aftermarket gasket sets can cause premature Failure and oil leakage- or it could just be old age causing the rubber to fail. Side note : if your original top end gaskets are leaking, its...

The head is much smaller with less material and there for is much more likely to warp. To test for warpage (block and head) use a straight edge and feeler gauge. But General practice is to resurface the head- ensure the valves are sealing well, because when the head warps, it can distort where...

Yes every thing works. You can find many car parts through the internet. Happy hunting

The vibes were of a higher 'frequency', so my hands would go numb after short trips-which is no good for spirited driving/racing. Yea a bit nutty- But that's why I've been called many things- Dr.Vtec, Honda Head, Crazy mo-fo-- you get the rest. When I go deep in a car, I go deeeeep. (and yes...

Pulled another steering column from a junk yard and began plying with it. "Bar Snake" was not an option as I looked at how the column was designed. Another old biker trick is to put lead shot in the handle bars, so figured I would seal the BB's in there using either silicone caulking or...

I never made it to the junk yard- Instead I drilled two holes in the steering column, and pumped it full of silicone. I also wrapped a bit of Dynomat around the areas in an attempt to help as well. It did not turn out pretty by any means, but it definitely helped. The vibes will always be a...

Worth a check too in my opinion. - The backing plate can get bent/cracked and make noises. But the fender liner also sounds like a possible culprit. Make sure both your axles are all the way home into the transmission too. I know it was just replaced however and that didn't change...

I'm with all that you said. Been in similar rides where it seems really loud and slow until half way through 3rd gear, and then you get the whip lash haha. I too have had all the normal options of mounts in my projects, its all pretty much similar- vibration is gona happen. Always a trade off...

Hey y'all- Many of us have stiffer 'solid' polyurethane motor mounts in our modified Hondas. I have not come across any post as of yet talking about real ways to cure the "lawn mower hands" that happen while driving such cars. Circuit racers with these stiffer mount surely have ways of combating...

It is my understanding through internet research, that the ECU is different- different part number even. I have heard of people swapping out their USDM ECU for the CDM ECU and everything works normally- no codes were thrown- as if the CDM ECU doesn't look for the input. That being said, I also...

lol- yup, the old snip trick. I actually cut the ELD signal, not the altc wire to ensure the ECU didn't attempt to control anything ELD related. Curious also as to how much gas mileage the ELD actually effects. I will never know- this car spends much of its life between 50-100% throttle lol...

Alright- so I have no idea where I got this miss information on the location of the wires in the ELD connector being different from Integra to Civic. So, moving on from that, Further testing has shown that my ELD appears to be working as designed at this time. I guess the reality is when you do...

Humm- I just re-looked up the schematics, and the wiring does look the same between OBD2A, and OBD2B..., so I will look up some paperwork when I get home. Either way, I put the wires back into their factory location after swapping back the original Civic ELD unit, cause the symptom ended up...

I will perform theses, and report back my findings during/ after work today. Thank you so much. I swapped the ELD from a 99 Integra GSR, because I thought my ELD may be the issue. The Civic VS Integra ELD's are wired different, But all that was needed was to swap two wires in the correct...

Thank civteck- I does feel like bad grounds, it is that kind of symptom. The G101 is super clean and tight, but extra grounds aren't a bad idea. I did the same resistance test on a 97 Civic EX (the alternator is still bolted up, so I back probed the altC pin on the back of it, and measured...

Something changed because it looks like I lost 1000 ohms somewhere-- the last test should have shown less resistance not more---But anyways, I cut a alternator connector to use it as a piggy back tester- I tested all pins at alternator with this method- here are the results if it helps at all-...

OK- That test yielded 9,100 ohms from the back of the alternator housing to the battery ground. That is with the 4 pin alt connector unplugged and testing the pin where the wht/grn wire goes if the alternator connector was plugged in.

So to confirm, you want me to unplug the alternator connector (4 pin), and measure resistance at the alt control pin at the alternator,(not the wiring harness), to ground, yes? Thanks

Thank you- This test was done at the alternator 4 pin connector, with the ECU connector A plugged in. Sorry for the miscommunication. Previous tests I have been testing the ALT C circuit, as pin # 19 (wht/grn) is the alt control wire. Previously testing last night showed KOEO , ALT 4 pin...
