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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Just replaced my upper control arm and I did torque my ball joint crown nut to spec (33 ft lbs, hope thats right) But I didnt know the specs for the two nuts and bolts that go around the back of the strut that hold the bracket to the control arm, so I just impacted them down. Same with the...

1990 Distributor started squeling and I read that it ment the bearing was going and I had to replace the whole distributor. How do I do this? Ive already got the part ordered. Do you have to mark it so the timing is right? And if so where. Ive never had it apart or off the car, so I...

I have a 1990 RS When I go to start my car, sometimes it starts no problem. Other times it doesnt. Here is the problem in order of how it occurs: 1. Turn key to accesory / on, all dummy lights come on and everything works. 2. Move key to start position, no click, no attempt to turn...

Hey guys, I have a problem thats been bothering me for quite a while. A year or so ago my alternator pooched out and I replaced it with a rewound one from a local store. First one was shit and didnt give good voltage so I returned it and got another one. Ive had it for over a year and...

I have a pretty bad oil leak from somewhere near my oil filter. I think it is the oil preassure sending unit or oil preassure sensor, whatever you want to call it. I have a 1990. Everything is stock engine wise. I think its comming from here because its comming from around the oil filter...

So before I get flamed to sh*t Its not the process of bleeding that I need help with, that shouldnt be a problem. My brakes are very spongy feeling, and if I gradually apply the brakes I need to let off and reapply, or pump them. Im used to it but while my car was un-insured I was driving...

Hey everyone, I know This topic has been questioned alot and I know there are varios answers that are spread throughout a bunch of different threads. I struggled with an exhaust rattle for a while now and just recently found a fix. So here's my story/exhaust set up first, then Ill get into...

Everything is stock on the exterior of my car except rims, I was wondering what you guys think would look better since I need new turn signals I was thinking amber but im not sure if it would look out of place Ive read that clear with amber bulbs would look good too. Car is red by the...

Sorry for the question, Im going to be replacing my trans fluid and it says in the repair manual Ive bought to tighten the drain and filler plugs up to a torque specification. I dont have any way to tell how tight things are, is it really important or can I just tighten them up good and tight...

My belt squeals when its cold, only at a certain rpm (a little above idle) It only stops when the engine hits operating temp. Please help because im starting to hate my car more and more... :(

Hey guys, Recently had to uninsure my car due to no income because of college. I started it up after sitting for about a week, turned over first time I cranked it, but it was running really rough. Also there was a huge cloud of blue smoke, and this continued if I would rev it up even a little...

Hey guys, My alternator failed on me and I replaced it myself with a remanufactured one Everything seems fine 13.5v+ when the cars on. 12.5v+ when the cars off. Starts everytime. I had my battery checked and Its fine and has really good crank amps (Thats what its called I think? :S)...
