    General intake manifold removal tasks and tips

    There are 4 12mm head bolts holding a metal bracket to the engine and the intake. The bracket does not need to be removed, just remove the bolts. The fourth one, top passenger side can actually stay. There is one 10mm bolt holding your IAC valve wire. These bolts are seen and removed from...

    Interior panel removal 90 GS

    Did any of you ever take the rear panel/hatch panel off? I can get it to be somewhat loose, removed the speaker covers, unbolted the seatbelt and took out the screw behind the little cover next to the back seat area, but something is holding it pretty tight. I don' t want to just tear the...

    Speedo, VSS code 17

    My 1990 Integra GS has decided to stop telling me my speed. The speedometer is dead. Check engine is on, and the code is 17. Is this just the cable, which the previous owner, my buddy at work, said he replaced, or is this the assembly? I think it is the cable because there is no speed on the...

    Squeak/chirp front passenger side

    I just bought this car. When I apply my foot to the accelerator, it triggers a chirp squeak sound that lasts for approximately 3 or 4 seconds. It will continue to happen, with about a 6 second interval of silence in between. It only happens after I push my foot on the accelerator. The AC...
