Re: 93 Civic A/C system overhaul

Readings way off with it running on max.

Also, run some dye in the system.

When you installed the components did you use new o rings, did you coat them with a little oil?

Also, do not crank...

Re: Overheatingggg.help

I have been there. Does it run hot when running or at idle or both? Determine that first.

I think my HG is blown, I have been through most of the symptoms.

Re: Overheating

Did you replace the headgasket if so did it help the compression or did you swap?

Re: Overheating

When did you know it was the final straw?

Can a bad headgasket cause low compression? I know one of my cyl is low.

Re: Radio Pocket?

the stock honda radio is a little larger than DIN so that pocket will not fit 100%, but you can get a block off plate if you want or use the pocket and get a civic dash kit to fill in the space.

Re: 99 civic coupe 1.6 non-VTEC hard to start after running while engine is hot

Are you tech savvy? If so check the fuel pressure and fuel pressure regulator. The flooded condition can be the FPR.

Re: 94 Del Sol - Just poked a hole in something important HELP!!!

Are you talking about the black grommet on the firewall next to the battery?

Behind that might be the Expansion valve for the AC.

Re: 99 civic coupe 1.6 non-VTEC hard to start after running while engine is hot

Can you hear the fuel pump prime, the clicking noise near the glove box.

Does it start fine the first start of the day?

I would test fuel pressure and fuel pressure regulator.

Re: 00 Civic lx -- Midas says the thermal protector for the A/C compressor is bad

The thermal switch is replaceable, I am not sure if a good way to test it. I am more inclined to think the clutches are going on the compressor.

After 12 years you can replace the compressor it...

Re: 98 ex Misfiring

What are the miles.

Do a compression check, see if one cyl is down or low.

Re: Oil loss/burn

If he does a compression test, and one cyl is down, he can then do a wet test to see if it goes up a decent amount then chances are it is the rings.

How many miles on it?

Check your compression.

Also adjust the valves, sounds a little noisy.

Re: A/c compressor blew out the back. Buying an ebay kit? No orifice tube?

The min basics you will need will be a compressor and a dryer.

Re: Weird idle problem

Not the oil.

The 10 means it is thicker at startup that is all.

How does it run otherwise?
