I had a visible oil leak a few months ago, so I was looking under the car to see where it was coming from. I saw liquid on what I think is the power steering pump, and it was dripping down to the oil pan. Under the hood, I could tell I needed a new valve cover gasket, so I changed that and also...

Hello, I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX 4 door automatic transmission with almost 58,000 miles and my buddy mechanic said I need new front struts, rear shocks, and rear drum brake shoes. I have done some research and am shopping on rockauto and other places to find the parts. Does anyone have any...

Hello, I recently purchased an automatic transmission 2008 Honda Civic LX with 56,000 miles and I am compiling a list of all preventative maintenance items that I should address to keep my car running like a top. My 97 Civic LX just died, so I would like to maintain it as well as I can. I like...

I was able to "shim" some electrical tape between the bracket and the wires (from reaching from the passenger side) and I also cleaned the battery terminals and the check engine light turned off! Although the fuse had not blown since, I'm pretty sure the electrical tape helped. The battery...

Hello, I will try to be as detailed as possible. I drive a 1997 Honda Civic LX, manual transmission. Three months ago I was driving in the rain and all of a sudden the check engine light went on and it had a rough idle, and the Check Engine Light kept fading in and out. It continued to drive...
