    Stock D16Y8 owners - normal acceleration question

    Is it normal for these engines with manual transmission (bone stock intake exhaust etc) to start to feel restrictive while accelerating at around 4000 rpms? Or should it be the opposite, slow low end and better high end rpms?

    Does the clutch pedal need adjusting as clutch wears?

    I’ve been having issue shifting into 1st gear lately and was wondering if it could have anything to do with clutch pedal adjustment? Car has 192k miles and when I first bought it at 90k the clutch would grab mid pedal travel. Now it seems to grab a lot lower. Pedal free play needs adjusting or...

    Topping off transmission fluid after cv axle replacement question

    I actually did only have the side I was working on lifted up but still fluid came out. Not sure if it was overfilled or what. Does the car have to be fully level when filling it? Might have to lift it up to loosen the fill plug, drop it down on all four tires to fill it

    Someone help me identify a part

    Thanks but I figured it out it’s part of the ac compressor relief valve. It’s just a cap to direct the venting if the valve ever opens due to built up pressure in the system. Only draw back to it not being there is refrigerant will just spray horizontally across the engine bay.

    Need help. 99 civic Hard start in cold.

    Once started how does it run and idle? The O2 code could be for a rich/lean condition not necessarily a bad sensor. Do you have a scan tool to monitor fuel trims and watch o2 sensor voltage readings?

    Sway bar end bushings

    Just noticed my 98 civic ex sway bar end bushings are crumbling away. I'm looking for suggestions on replacements similar to OEM but cheaper. Not into performance ones or anything. When I look online I only see Energy Suspension ones. Is that brand any good? Any input would be appreciated

    Yes tach stays steady. Only reason I questioned my idle was slight vibrations

    Fuel trim question - 98 Civic

    I'll try it out next time I have some time. What do you think is causing the fluctuations? Now I'm curious if every car has a steady/constant idle or same slight fluctuations Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel trim question - 98 Civic

    550rpms. Should I go as high as possible? How would adjusting base idle high help with getting a steady idle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel trim question - 98 Civic

    I just tried the idle procedure and with the IACV unplugged the idle fluctuated no matter how much I adjusted the screw. Even after plugging in the IACV at different screw adjustments the idle would still fluctuate by +/- 10 rpms Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel trim question - 98 Civic

    Cool. Just curious, If the idle isn't steady with the IACV unplugged. What would be causing that? It would mean the IACV couldn't be the issue no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
