In other news: Last night, I made the mistake of going through the car wash (for the first time), on my way home. Should've known better. my jacket and pants were completely soaked. :|

I checked the plugs after it happened. and nothing looked out of the ordinary, for a motor with 225k, and only 250 miles on the plugs. issue was only happening for the 10-15 minutes it took to get home, and only at very low speed (parking lot, stop sign, etc). Either way, i'm convinced it was...

Why would the clutch be connected to the ABS system? sounds like a good way to stall your car, or kill the clutch.

were you trying to bleed it alone? or with an assistant? Either way, glad you got it sorted.

Been driving the civic daily since clearing out the vent system... been going ok, almost up to 250 miles since i got it back on the road... Saturday, i did the most continuous driving, and i started noticing hesitation at part throttle. rolling through a parking lot at slow speed, if i gave it...

you could possibly hone the cylinder, and rebuild it with new seals... much easier just to replace it. They're not expensive, and doesn't take much time.

Cool. Thanks

This was just in time. weather was in the 50's yesterday, back to 30 today.

Is there any difference in the CV/Axles between Manual and Auto trans? on rock auto, i see some listed as "manual trans" but no Auto.

S Clips are regularly used to route wiring along frames on trailers and whatnot... They have a little tooth that prevents them from slipping off. you can slide it over the inner edge of the side skirt, or any other flat piece. if the lights won't fit inside the clip, you could ziptie the lights...

Luckily, this car makes it easy to access what i needed to... Firstly... This is why you always close the fresh air vent (set to recirculate), if your car is going to be sitting for more than a couple days They had also completely filled the cavity next to the heater core (it's one of the...

Well, i think i jinxed myself by mentioning the heater... Yesterday, out of the blue, my truck died, so I'll be driving the civic until i get that sorted. That means, i couldn't put off the vent system any longer. I know there's heat at the core, and i could hear the fan, but there was little...

I remember one year at CES, in the automotive section... I was talking to the booth babe at Escort... I asked her if she get's a lot of strange looks from people walking past... with a confused look on her face she said "YES! How did you know?" I replied, "what does your shirt say" ESCORT...

well, mine has been stolen twice (since i've owned it), so locking the doors didn't really help... but i'd like to at least discourage the lazy ones.

Well... don't hold out.... What's the answer? Asking for a friend :oops:

One other thing... if i'm gonna start driving it regularly, i need to get the door locks sorted. Ever since i've had this car, the only way you can lock the drivers door is with the key. you cannot flip the lock lever, unless the ignition is on. ignition off, triggers the locks to open again...

It's almost time to bring the civic back out of hibernation... While it was great in the winter, back when it was my daily... and even though it really wasn't much of a winter this year... it currently has summer tires, and i still need to dig into the vent system... No heat = No Go... Agenda...

fiberglass is not fun.

I've lived in minnesnowta for 20 years, and i'm even further north now... My civic has always been parked outside, and never had any trouble starting, even at -30. just don't drive it until it's fully warmed. now the battery, that's a different story. Typically only had one chance. Block...

I usually go to CES. this is actually the first time since 2010 i didn't go. Someday i'll make it to SEMA... but first Shot Show!
