Replying to: mufflerguy (Sep 09, 2006 6:25 am) Why?? IMHO the forum is a work in progress and as with any journal,diary, etc. the most recent writing is going to appear on the last page. Of course my wife as always accused me of being odd...at least until the day I agreed with her and offered as proof I had married her!! Peace and quite since
#459 of 527 Fuel lines leak when car gets cold - '02 Subi WRX by kevin111 Jan 19, 2007 (8:16 pm)
I have an '02 WRX with 96K miles. The car has been great!   The problem is, I have noticed a smell of gasoline recently. The mechanic I had taken it to stated that there was a technical service bulletin that stated that 2 fuel lines in the engine compartment, I think they are underneith the intake, start to leak when the temperature drops (it gets cold).   First off, is there a possible recall on this?   Second, does $500 - $600 sound reasonable? The hoses themselves were over $100 combined.   Thanks!
#460 of 527 Re: Battery Light Alero [mplata] by derickson Jan 26, 2007 (11:48 am)
Replying to: mplata (Aug 27, 2006 5:56 pm) Did you ever resolve this issue? I have a 2004 Alero with the same problem. Replaced the alternator and battery and the light came on again within the week. I have noticed that if I turn on my running lights - which is supposed to turn off the headlights which automatically come on - the control doesn't work and it dims my dashboard lights and radio panel. Any help would be appreciated.
#461 of 527 Best place to service honda/acura? by jamodi83 Feb 13, 2007 (5:05 pm)
Is it best just to go to a dealership? Does anyone know of any pro acura/honda repair facilities? Replies to this message: dtownfb (Feb 19, 2007 9:03 am)

Replying to: jamodi83 (Feb 13, 2007 5:05 pm) Not knowing where you live, I would suggest taking a look in the phone book.   When I lived in Harrisburg, there was an independent repair shop that specialized in Hondas called Dove's. It was about $15/hr cheaper (labor rate) then the dealership. Much easier to get an appointment.

Replying to: hankb3 (Dec 21, 2005 8:49 pm) In regards to the intermittent starting pronlem on the 2001 Cheyy Tracker. Did you ever get the problem fixed? You said you had a relay replaced. Did this fix the problem? I have a 2001 Tracker and you problem sounds exactly like mine.
#464 of 527 P0420 disappear automatically! by tracy_liu_99 Apr 21, 2007 (3:12 pm)
Hi, I have a 98 honda civic LX model. Last two weeks, the orange check light suddenly went on while I was driving on the highway. The code was P0420. The mechanics reset the light and asked me to drive for a while to see if there were other codes came up. Three days later, the light came on again. Still, reset and run,3 days later, light pop up again. Mechanics read the data of everything especially the oxygen sensor and cat converter. Everything was fine. I was instructed to keep driving. Then after one week while I was driving on highway again, the light just suddenly WENT OFF automatically!!! How weird! I'd like to ask what possibly happened to my vehicle and what I should do?

Replying to: tracy_liu_99 (Apr 21, 2007 3:12 pm) P0429 Description This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable driving conditions. If deterioration has been detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC P0420 will be stored.   This can be caused by an exhaust leak or blockage, a faulty O2 sensor circuit, a vacuum leak or low fuel pressure.   Engine Controls - MIL ON/DTC P0420/Engine Pinging 05-027 June 10, 2005 Applies To: 1996-00 Civic DX, LX, EX MIL Is On With DTC P0420 or Engine Ping Under Load SYMPTOM MIL is on with DTC P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold) or the engine pings under load. DTC P0301 (No. 1 cylinder misfire detected), P0302 (No. 2 cylinder misfire detected), P0303 (No. 3 cylinder misfire detected) , or P0304 (No.4 cylinder misfire detected), may also be set.   PROBABLE CAUSE Poor connections at the igniter terminals. CORRECTIVE ACTION Crimp the wires from the distributor subassembly, and install a new catalytic converter if code P0420 is stored in the PCM/ECM.   If your mechanic needs the repair procedure for the TSB, then let me know. Remember that Service bulletins are on your dime.
#466 of 527 1997 Cavalier strut problem by amaatreb May 27, 2007 (7:47 pm)
I have a '97 Cav. Z24 with ~118K miles on it. There's a creaking sound every time I go over the smallest of bumps, but no excessive bouncing. My dad said the struts were probably just dry and it was nothing to worry about. But, it seems as if the noise gets louder each day. I was wondering if this is something I should get fixed immediately or if it's not too big of a deal? And about how much would it cost to get fixed (parts and labor)?
#467 of 527 windshield-washer motor by mysticsoul Aug 12, 2007 (5:30 pm)
hey there all..     I'm new to this forum, have a Hyundai Elantra 01, 4dr sedan.    I'll be grateful if anyone could help me with this, the windshield washer doesnt work anymore, I had a look at it, its not the water being empty, or the pipes being clogged, so I think its the windshield-washer motor, cause I dont hear the motor sound anymore, any idea where the motor is located or how do I access it? short on money so i'll have to fix it myself.     Thanx
