#111 of 234 Re: 1997 honda civic won't start [satuthom] by marylong Dec 13, 2007 (9:37 pm)
Replying to: satuthom (Dec 13, 2007 6:30 pm) I had a similar problem with my '99 Civic. Turned out the positive battery cables were corroded under the battery terminal. The battery was new and the terminal was fine, but I disconnected it from the cable and the cable was green and white and some of the wires fell off. I just cut off 1/2 inch from each one and replaced with new terminals (did the ground also) and all was good to go. Not sure that is your problem, but worth a shot.

Replying to: zeus3 (Dec 12, 2007 3:52 am) On newer civics, there is this procedure to get the serial number (NOT the code):   With car turned off, press the 1 and 6 radio preset buttons. Turn on car, serial number will scroll by on the display. Hopefully this works on yours. Replies to this message: zeus3 (Dec 15, 2007 9:45 am)
#113 of 234 1990 civic wont start by him7cky Dec 14, 2007 (7:07 pm)
i have a 1990 honda civic. its an automatic with about 240,000 miles on it. it has always ran good but a few days ago it just wouldnt start. i went to the mall and a couple hours later when i went to start it, it would not fire. it cranks just fine. i checked the intake and it is clear. i grounded out the spark plugs and i am getting spark. i know im getting fuel because i can hear the fuel pump running when i turn the key and i can smell gas from the cylinder when i pull out the plugs. what could be wrong? i read online that it could be the ecu or ecm but if im getting spark then that doesnt make sense. if anyone has an idea please let me know. thanks

Replying to: crv16 (Dec 14, 2007 2:37 pm) crv16,   Thanks for the instruction. But I tried and no serial number showed up when I started the car. Somebody told me that I will need the serial number of the radio but to get it I have to take the radio out, is that correct?
#115 of 234 front end suspension by jymmy Dec 17, 2007 (3:16 pm)
my Civic 97 Dx makes a clunking sound when I make a U-turn from a traffic light. The tighter the turn the louder the clunk. What should I ask my mechanic to look for? Replies to this message: kiawah (Dec 17, 2007 5:34 pm) jymmy (Dec 21, 2007 12:29 pm) suvanisnear (Dec 21, 2007 12:25 am)

Replying to: jymmy (Dec 17, 2007 3:16 pm) Could potentially be the CV joints, but let them hear the noise, feel it when they drive it, and figure it out for themselves. Replies to this message: jymmy (Dec 21, 2007 12:29 pm)

Replying to: jymmy (Dec 17, 2007 3:16 pm) that noise is going to be that your cv boot is torn so you will need to replace it asap ..

#119 of 234 Re: 'Don't Drive in the rain"???? [spoulter] by spoulter Dec 28, 2007 (11:40 am)
Replying to: spoulter (Dec 05, 2007 11:45 am) Since having our belts deglazed this has not helped the problem. We travelled home for the holidays and the noise was worse than ever. Does anyone have any thoughts? PLEASE HELP! Replies to this message: kiawah (Dec 28, 2007 1:34 pm)

Replying to: spoulter (Dec 28, 2007 11:40 am) Hard to tell from your description without hearing it, what the problem really is.   If I assume that what the dealership said is correct and they didn't find anything major wrong with it (so tried deglazing the belts), then probably the next step is to replace the belt with a new one.   While you have the old belt off, I would turn each of the accessory pulleys by hand, to see if you can detect one of those pulleys binding or have a bad bearing. My suspicion is that you may have an accessory going bad, which is putting a strain on the belt, and what you are hearing is that secondary symptom.   If you are not handy to do this job yourself, I would get it to a competent shop.
