Boots like fine and its not clicking, so I don't think that would be it. I'm thinking sway bar bushings maybe

When turning the steering wheel or going of slight increases or decreases in elevation, or going around corners fairly hard, there is a pretty bad constant squeak comming form the front left. Ive done rack and pinion, and upper control arms. Ive dissconected the power steering pump and it...

Its not like a normal squeal, its a squeak like a bearing almost. Ive done timing belt, water pump, and tensioner but I worry it could be something related to that? My battery died a couple days ago so it could be extra strain on the alternator but that was like 2 or 3 days ago with probably...

How could I re-enable it?

Now before everyone flames and says dont do it because you will blow your engine up, Im not trying to disable it. Im wondering if the guy before me did. I have an eg with a b18c1 in it. Dont have much info about the swap. I was out with some buddys and they kept yelling at me to hit the...

I'm still not convinced that's what it is. Smoke doesn't smell bad and it seems to go away once it gets driven for like 30 mins when its not super cold or raining. Low coolant could be because I did tstat and burped it and didn't top it back off once it was cool Only issue is when driving even...

Just checked my rad and it was pretty much empty... Could have not been totally full since doing the tstat but shouldnt be empty. Looks like I might be doing a head gasket soon unless anyone else has any ideas

Car smokes on startup, quite a bit (hard to explain how much). Then after driving for about 20 mins, long after its heated up, still smokes a little less. Coolant is still green, oil not milky, exhaust just smells exhaust, not sweet. Not sure about coolant level because I just drained and...

Thanks for the help guys, I replaced the tstat and it heats up in about 5 mins and stays there!

Strange. Shifter feels good and tight, could just be because of the swap. It hasnt been happening very frequently. Maybe twice since the op, dailying every day. At least that means it shouldn't be the trans!

I was thinking that too. Maybe with such a small engine and such efficient cooling its just not warm enough? And then when im driving for a solid 10 mins at good speed its cold enough to drop the needle on the gauge? 3 degress celcius is close to 38 fahrenheit btw. So mid day it maybe gets to...

Would you mind explaining how that might cause it? I figured that would make it either be on all the time or overheat

So issue is a little more strange then I thought. I let the engine warm up for about 15 mins (needle was at 90 degree angle) while trying to burp it. No air came out. I also noticed the fan wasnt coming on. I drove it into town where I needed to be and turned it off. Then I sarted it again...

It does go back up, just very slowly.

Gsr engine in an eg. Just did timing belt and water pump. Its cold here, 0-3 degrees celcius. Takes a while for the car to get up to temp, like 8-10 mins. Doesn't go past operating temp. Then when driving for 10km at about 60kmh it drops to the lowest line on the gauge. Could this be...

Doesn't pop out, and its not grinding as if you don't have the clutch in, its a quieter grinding and just revs up. Could be because of play in the linkage, just seems nice and tight. I'm going to do trans fluid on the weekend, not sure when it was last done as I've only had the car for a few weeks

Very little slop in the shifter. If physically goes into second, like you can put the shifter into second. Just ocassionally it misses the gear if that makes sense. Happend on my DA going into reverse. You'd put it into reverse and give it gas and it would rev up and kinda grind, that's why I...

93 si civic with a b18c1 Goes into every other gear fine but occasionally I go to shift i nto second, but it doesn't actually engage the gear. The shifter moves fine into position but it doesn't bite. When it happens you let off the clutch and it just revs up like its in neutral and there...

My car takes about 5-8 mins to get up to temp while driving. Seems longer then my da9 with a b18a. Whats normal time for these cars to heat up? Heats up eventually and not after TO long so im thinking the thermostat is fine
