#756 of 846 1988 Honda Civic 4dr sedan computer questions by bishopk99 Dec 04, 2006 (4:59 pm)
1988 Honda Civic 4dr sedan computer questions   Folks,   I posted this to other boards in CIVIC with no replies. Hopefully, this board will get one:    I just spent over 780.00 on trying to get my check engine light to go out on my subj Civic. The final answer is "you have a bad computer" and to replace will cost 980.00. Well, if they ran diagnostics on it in the first place to correct a temperature Hi/Lo sensor and a transmission part (which makes the car run excellent now) how can that be. Now the answer is you need a new computer?    I own a car made in Japan, with a JHMED VIN...    it ststates on the computer:    37820-PM5-A550 601-139748 8 B with a manufacture date of 87-12-24    I bought this car new in 1988, it has over 178,000 miles, it drove me to 5 ships and 5 shore stations and will be featured in my retirement ceremony after I get to 25 yrs in the Navy. Everyone hates it but I loove it. It is my baby blue car!    Are there compatability issues with the computers, some folks tell me that any computer in that family will work (1988-1991).   Happy Holidays!    Kevin, Senior Chief, Unitied States Navy Replies to this message: pat (Dec 05, 2006 5:50 am)

Replying to: bishopk99 (Dec 04, 2006 4:59 pm) Hi Kevin,   Why don't you also ask in our Got a Quick, Technical Question? discussion. Usually there are some pretty sharp gearheads hanging out there who may not see your posts here.   Good luck - let us know how it goes.
#758 of 846 Have a query about my 89 CRX by emeraldavila Dec 07, 2006 (8:18 am)
Lately I have been having trouble with my car. It seems that when it wants to start it will, and when it does not want to it does not. It will crank sometimes but it will not turn. Then sometimes it delays then cranks and turns. Then sometimes I dont get anything and the engine light is on for all of these conditions. Once the cars turns on the engine light turns off and I have no problems. It happens in either type of weather hot or cold. Some say its the relay some say its the fuel pump, I am so confused. Please help me. I lovvvvve my car, and I dont want to give it up. Replies to this message: pat (Dec 07, 2006 9:41 am)

#761 of 846 10 Year Old Radiator by redvw Dec 08, 2006 (9:29 am)
I recently heard on Motorwatch radio that a 10 year old radiator should be replaced. I have 1 1997 Honda Civic with 140,000 miles. The coolant was changed every 2 years with factory fill. I have also been using wetter water for the past three years. I am not having any cooling problems. Is it necessary to replace the radiator in this car?

#763 of 846 Antifreeze on 2004 Civic? by jaa37jaa37 Dec 13, 2006 (3:01 pm)
Just over 40,000 miles -- went to get my oil changed, and the mechanic recommended changing the antifreeze. I checked the manual's maintenance schedule but didn't see anything about that specifically. He also recommended changing the transmission fluid, which is ridiculous -- that's why I'm skeptical. Anyone? Thanks. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 13, 2006 3:39 pm)

Replying to: jaa37jaa37 (Dec 13, 2006 3:01 pm) coolant change every 2-3 years is a good idea, yes.   Transmission oil change? 40K sounds premature. More like 60K sounds right.
#765 of 846 oil change by lvtltn Dec 25, 2006 (9:05 pm)
Hi, My Civic had 31K miles,is it ok if I use the high-mileage oil (75000) for it? Thanks
