    brake lights won't turn off

    He was right. I had this issue today and this thread was the first to show up in my search! Thanks Prozon ;) The plastic bits look like peanuts on the floor mat. I used foam tape on the pedal side to make this work. Little awkward to reach up there from the foot well, hold down brake pedal with...

    94 GSR - Randomly shutting off, no warning. New Coil, Cap/Rotor, Wires

    FIXED! Replaced the ICM about a week ago, I've driven maybe 10times on it and haven't had any more trouble! Wohoo! I bought a super affordable one off of Ebay, about $15. I will warn you that if you buy it, the back plate on mine came a little long and I had to use my dremel to trim it back...

    94 GSR - Randomly shutting off, no warning. New Coil, Cap/Rotor, Wires

    New update... I resoldered the post, took it for a test drive, no change... I timed it this time, seems fairly consistent that after 7min it shuts off. I then waited 45sec and it started back up. HERE'S THE KICKER! I kept driving it assuming it would die again within 7min, I drove for another...

    94 GSR - Randomly shutting off, no warning. New Coil, Cap/Rotor, Wires

    Car starts without issue when it's cold, after maybe 10min of driving is when it just shuts off for maybe a minute or longer, before I can start it back up. If it were a fuse, pretty sure the issue would not be intermittent. Upon closer inspection, I did see a tiny ring around one of the posts...

    94 GSR - Randomly shutting off, no warning. New Coil, Cap/Rotor, Wires

    I pulled the Main, took it apart to look at the solder, no obvious cracks or points of failure. Any other ideas?

    94 GSR - Randomly shutting off, no warning. New Coil, Cap/Rotor, Wires

    Couple days ago I was pulling in to our lot at work and thought that because of the recent rain, some water dripped in to the Cap/Rotor and shorted it out. There's a bit of a dip coming in and later that day the car started perfectly so I figured it was a logical answer, the water had dried out...

    What is the best manual transmission fluid?

    Read a bunch in to this, looks like the most popular reviews based on experience in our cars yielded the following "best" options. 1. Pennzoil Syncromesh 2. Honda MTF - Very close 2nd/tie for first? 3. 10w-30 Motor Oil - The manual actually states to use this, some say it's dated as Honda has...

    Changing stereo ground to reduce interference from cig-lighter charger.

    Thanks, do you happen to know where the ground is for the stereo on a '94 GSR? I'm assuming it's directly behind the deck.

    What is the best manual transmission fluid?

    I have RedLine in there now, wasn't super impressed by it so I'm just wondering what else is out there and if to go back to stock/OEM spec's. Would be super awesome if someone found data on this!

    Changing stereo ground to reduce interference from cig-lighter charger.

    Every time I charge something through the cigarette lighter I get crackling through my stereo. I'm planning on installing a dash-cam soon but I really don't want to have to deal with the interference when I listen to FM. I remember reading somewhere about the ground for the stereo being the...

    Thanks for sharing, has anyone tried out the different options and noticed a difference between them?

    What is the best manual transmission fluid?

    So I know the manual says to use plain old 5w-30, I believe I used Redline last time I replaced the fluid, I've heard of Amsoil and GM Syncromesh (amongst others...), has anyone found any benefit to any of these over just a couple cheap bottles of motor oil? I wasn't impressed by Redline, still...

    How much weight can the roof hold?

    So i'm in a bit of a pinch and may not be able to get my hands on some roof-racks before I move, I have an old cargo carrier I was thinking about using. Strapped it to my wife's roof (98 Rav4) and was shocked how quickly the roof started to bend under the tension from the straps, haven't had a...

    1998 Acura Integra driver's door lock

    Take the door panel off and look at the moving parts. Look in our DiY section, it'll show you how to do it, pretty easy. Don't think you can really tell what's going on until you take the panel off. - Aaron

    Acceleration problems

    I can't put my finger on it but maybe its a fuel delivery problem? Was this happening at all before you replaced those parts? Why did you replace the distributor? - Aaron

    Spark, fuel, and will crank but no start

    Sounds to me like the only thing you are missing is the timing, so check the timing. - Aaron

    94 integra gsr sedan

    Really hard to beat Ebay. Find the parts you want and buy them from a trusted seller through there. That's usually a good place to go. CamelCamelCamel.com tracks prices on Amazon to give you a better idea of sales. Then use something like FatWallet or MyPoints (what I use) to get even more money...

    Need some help!!

    Best thing to do is to find that free Acura Service Manual floating around online and start looking through the Electrical section. This is something you want to do right the first time, guessing may lead to bigger headaches later on. Good luck! - Aaron
