Replying to: play (Sep 03, 2006 6:42 pm) Just to keep the record staright, in my post I said "in Tucson, where we have 4 or 5 months over 100 degrees" which is accurate. It gets over 100 in May, June, July, Aug, September, and sometimes even in October. I have lived here since 1992. I do agree with the rest of your comments, about tinting and solar heating being a big factor here. Tinting, and the use of a reflective sun shade for the windshield when unavoidably parking in the sun makes a big difference. Makes it easier for the A/C to cool the car faster. |

Hey guys I could really use your help on this one since its getting very cold up here in Michigan! The heat in my car is only working intermittently. It seems to cut out when I come to a stop (engine at idle speed) and starts blowing the outside ambient temperature. Then when i start accelerating the heat slowly comes back. The temperature gauge reads normal operating temperature, and the coolant is at the right level in the system. The blower speed seems to be the same as when it was functioning normally. I ran the self diagnostic that you can do from the service manual and no error codes come up. I don't know what else to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: sotony (Aug 10, 2006 10:44 am) This power-saving design accompanies another trait (fault) in Honda's electrical system: power to electrical systems (most noticeable in headlights and stereo dimmer) gradually increases over 20-30 seconds, then drops again. Just watch your headlights... they'll get brighter and brighter, and then BOOM- back to normal. Very strange. |

Replying to: wsustudent (Dec 07, 2006 3:47 pm) You can buy a simple cooling system pressure tester that you put over the radiator as an air pump and this will find any leaks you might have that you won't see when the car is just cold and idling.

the owner's manual ('06 LX coupe) says there is a cabin air filter... can anyone explain how a huge chunk of dead leaf blasted out one of my vents the other day? or better, can anyone w/a shop manual tell me where this supposed filter is located? thanks...

| My apologies if this topic has already been posted, I am at work and in a terrible hurry.I have recently purchased a 95 civic coupe in good condition and completely original. However it has stopped heating the interior of the car, and I have checked coolant levels and linkages to the heater matrix and cannot find any faults. Could the thermostat be causing the problem? If so where can I find it on the model of this year? I'd appreciate any help, Its not fun driving with icicles forming around your eyebrows and under your nose! | |
