#1001 of 1030 Gas Type: Regular or Premium by lp2 Mar 07, 2008 (12:45 pm)
I''m currently looking to purchase an RSX 05 or 06 type s and I wanted to know what type of gas the car can drive on. I remember browsing over a review that said that the car takes unleaded premimum. However, I'm unable to locate any other solid info about this. I would like to hear from the owners what type it takes.   Thanks Replies to this message: drawdef (Mar 07, 2008 1:25 pm)

Replying to: lp2 (Mar 07, 2008 12:45 pm) I have an 06 and have only put 93 oct in it from day 1. 91 or better is what Acura says. This is due to the high compression engine. I'm sure it would run on lower octane, but I honestly wouldn't do it. Performance above all would suffer, you'd probably experience knocking and other such engine issues too. If you don't want to put the extra 20c a gallon for the good stuff in it, I wouldn't bother buying one.

Replying to: joem5 (Mar 01, 2008 3:21 pm) Hi, I hear that clicking noise when I step on the brake too...it's near the gear shift area, and I hear it when my car is in P, even when I just step on the brake when I haven't turned on my car. I went to the dealer to check it out before too. They told me it was normal, but now the sound is getting louder. Would this still be normal? I drive a 05 RSX, what about you? Maybe it's specific to the year?
#1004 of 1030 wont come out of park by hudpd33 Jun 09, 2008 (10:13 am)
I have a 02 RSX, it will not come out of park unless I use the key in the hole next to the shifter. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so, what will fix it with the exception of using the key every time to get it out of park?

Replying to: hudpd33 (Jun 09, 2008 10:13 am) The problem is most likely with the brake switch. If the switch doesn't sense that you have your foot on the brake, it will lock the shifter. The switch is easy to replace, but when I had the problem(2002 RSX) I just took it apart and found that it was a little gunky. I cleaned it, did not lubricate it, and put it back in. It has worked fine for almost 2 years now. If you live in the San Jose area, I will be happy to help you for a very small fee, $25, a case of good beer, or something similarly creative..
#1006 of 1030 Wont go into 4th gear/Window problems 03 RSX by utbboy Jul 17, 2008 (7:39 am)
I recently bought a 03 RSX with about 55,000 miles on it. I have been driving it for about a month now and it goes into every gear except 4th. When you try to shift into 4th gear it feels like there is something blocking it. It started doing this while I was driving. I went to go put it into 4th gear and there was alot of resistance. When I took it out of 4th it would not go back in. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be?   Also I was driving to work the other day with the windows down and when I went to roll them up the passenger side window rolled about half way up and then I heard a loud noise (like somebody had thrown something at my car). The window then slowly went down into my door and will not roll back up. Any ideas on what this could be? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 17, 2008 9:43 am) utbboy (Jul 17, 2008 10:12 am)

Replying to: utbboy (Jul 17, 2008 7:39 am) Sounds like teh motor and/or regulator on the power window. I had the regulator go bad on a vehicle and barely got the window up and closed where it could stay until I got them fixed.   And just so you're braced for it, power window repairs are usually on the pricey side   Here's hoping you get a break and it's something simple.

#1009 of 1030 Whirling Noise when pedal released by 10a Jul 24, 2008 (5:12 pm)
I want to know if there is anyone out there who is experiencing the same problem as me. I have a 05 RSX. A month ago, I started hearing this whirling noise when I release my foot from the gas pedal 35mph. This whirling noise is very obvious when the car slows to around 35 to 30mph but the whirling noise can be heard at higher speeds too. This noise also gets louder when the car runs warm. If the car is placed in neutral while decelerating, that whirling "woe woe woe" noise is also there. My dealer says that maybe it's due to the transmission fluid, but I changed it and used Honda dealer brand. Has anyone encountered this before? Anyone know what the problem is?
