I own a 97 Accord LX; 4-DR; 4cyl; 120,000 miles.
I’m the original owner.  This has been a very reliable car.
Problem:  Occasionally, my car will lose power while driving.  I coast

The volume of my radio abruptly reduces after a few minutes of
playing. I can get it back by pressing another station select button
and then going back to the original station. But after a while, the
volume drops again.

Is replacement of an idle air control valve something the home mechanic
can do?  Any tricky calibration required after replacement?
(Valve failure was diagnosed by dealer, but the car, with my daughter in
it, left the area before it could be fixed.  Now she wants to do it

I got my oil changed this weekend and for the second time in a row, there was
no oil on the dipstick.  The car has always gone for it's usual oil change
every 3,000 miles, so I'm not sure why there's no oil.  There is no
noticeable leakage anywhere.  It was suggested that I get an ...

I'm about to purchase a used Honda Accord and am wondering whether
there are some model years which are preferable to others.  I'm not
keen on the styling of 1996 Hondas so I thought I would purchase
something a little earlier or just a bit later.  I want to spend

I was helping a friend recently with his 91 civic sedan (D15 engine code I
think).  The car wouldn't start so we went through the ususal things and
finally arrived at the distributor.  The contacts were corroded and we
cleaned them as a temporary fix.  Car started right up.  I ...

My daughter wants to be able to work on her '98 Civic LX manual.  She
found a Chilton manual at

I'm curious. I did my first a few weeks ago on my '91 Civic Si, and so

My car has developed a problem that I cannot find a solution to.  It is
a 1991 Honda Civic Special Edition (Canadian Model), 1.5L, 180,000kms.
It is basically a DX with power steering and no AC.

We just bought a Honda Jazz 1.4 CVT in the UK and love it, except for
one thing. We live on a hill, and it doesn't hold its position when
you're in gear, stationary, and take your foot off the brake. This
makes manoeuvring in and out of tight parking spots a rather exciting

Im curious what everyone thinks on this issue.
