97 Honda Civic, new clutch and pressure plate but won't come out of gear and clutch pedal won't release?
The clutch feels backwards now, won't switch gears unless the car is off and the pedal is all the way up. When you start it in gear it will not come out of said gear unless you turn the car off. The clutch pedal will get stuck down and the car will roll in whatever gear you put it in, when putting the clutch pedal down is supposed to release the clutch… It does not Read more: 97 Honda Civic, new clutch and pressure plate but won't come out of gear and clutch pedal won't release?
99 Honda Civic Misfiring Issue?
I have a 99 Honda Civic LX with over 200k miles. A few months ago I had new spark plugs and wires installed, and even more recently a new distributor cap. Currently the engine misfires a little on startup before it levels out and runs smoothly. After driving for a few minutes it will start to mildly misfire while idling, and worsens when I accelerate. Other times it is fine until I hit 50-55mph, at which point it strongly misfires. Revving the engine will make the misfiring stop until it downshifts. I tried some fuel injector cleaner with no luck. I'm leaning towards the igniter but would like to hear your opinions. Read more: 99 Honda Civic Misfiring Issue?

Did Barack Obama tell Honda they had to build better cars because they were building them too cheap a few years ago?
I heard on TV once a report that Barack Obama told Honda they had to build better cars because the quality was just too cheap. Better or they would not be allowed to sell here in the US. Or maybe I heard wrong and he said they had to get better gas mileage. But I think it was about cheap quality and ripping people off. The reason I ask is because when he said this I went outside and took a look at my moms brand new Honda civic and the quality in fact did look cheap, the inside especially, it looked like flimsy recycled plastic.

In your opinion, which is harder to ride-a dirt bike or a Honda 3 wheeler?
I'm trying to get my dad to get me a dirt bike, but he keeps saying I'm "not ready". He thinks 3 wheelers are easier to ride than dirt bikes, I've ridden both. I just don't have one of my own. IMO, I think dirt bikes are a lot easier, thoughts? I have a 3 wheeler but I've wanted a dirt bike forever too. Read more: In your opinion, which is harder to ride-a dirt bike or a Honda 3 wheeler?
Best model year or generation for Honda Civic GX (the available non-comercial version)?
The Honda Civic GX was sold to the public in certain states up to 2011. I'm not sure what year it began, but it covered some 3 generations of Honda Civics. I'm just not sure which one is the best? Seems like the first one had a 4 speed automatic, the second a CVT and the third a 5 speed automatic. I'm not sure which Hondas are better. Do you?

Which fog lights should I get?
I have never shopped for fog lights and have no idea how to choose. I just recently purchased a brand new 2017 Honda Civic EX. The fog lights sockets are already there but the lights are not installed. Essentially i'd like white LED lights. I care more about looks than actual visibility performance. So ideally, something not too expensive. Any recommendations which brand and where to purchase? Thanks! Read more: Which fog lights should I get?

Honda' website says the Civic Coupe and Sedan share the same wheelbase. Why is this? I wanted to buy a real coupe?
I wanted to buy a real coupe but it seems like Honda is just ripping us off. They take the Civic sedan and turn it into a coupe. I don't know how they do this but they share the same wheelbase. I thought the coop would be much Smaller with a shorter lenght overall. With a smaller wheelbase to give you more of that sporty feel but I feel like I'm just driving a damn sedan.

I want a subwoofer for my car but I don't want to mess with the battery and stuff. Is this possible?
I just bought a brand new honda civic hatchback (2017) and I want to add a subwoofer to the back. I've never done anything like this so i don't want to mess with that much stuff. I was wondering if there's like a subwoofer that I can attach to my phone with an aux splitter or Bluetooth. I know that subs take a lot of power so i'm wandering if a good one that I can just charge exists. Please let me know.

My car battery is either dying or dead every time I try to start it? Any
I have a 2005 Honda Civic Coupe, I love the car to death, and it is my first car. It is also a used car, I got it from a private owner earlier in October, and the car was working just fine just needed to be cleaned up a bit. However, now entering November every time I try to start the car the battery is either dying or dead. First my dad and I thought I might have left something on, but nothing was left on, and I'm very positive because I always check to see if my inside lights are on, if the headlights are on and such. So then we thought it was because I was not driving it as much and the battery got cold, but that doesn't make sense to me. True, I do not drive the car very often, I probably drive it once a week or a twice a week, but before we even purchased the car the owner and our mechanic said that the battery was good. I'm not sure how old the battery is, but I thought the battery should have been okay. My car doesn't have all those electronic features that newer...
Need help buying a car (Honda Accprd or Civic)?
My choice has boiled down to these two cars but here is why I'm having a ha d time choosing. I've never owned a car before so I don't know how much big of a difference one is compared to the other. The Honda Accord cost slightly more than the civic but here is the problem: the insurance on the civic is terrible. So, say if I want to save money which would be better and cost less to own? I have no problem buying either but it's e owning and maintaining cost that I'm lost on and I need the cheaper option. Is he civic insurance worth it? Or should I just opt for the accord and save on insurance? Read more: Need help buying a car (Honda Accprd or Civic)?

What's happens to a car if you shut off the engine while you're stepping on the gas pedal?
I have this 2002 Honda Accord I was playing around with that got sold for scrap. I was wondering what would happen if I held the gas pedal at about 4,000 RPMs and then proceed to shutoff the car while holding it at 4,000 rpms. I tried this, nothing bad seemed to have happened. The engine rpms quickly climbed down and the engine shut off like it should. I started the car again and everything seemed normal. Does this actually harm anything if you do this?

What's causing this clicking/gurgling sound coming from dash on 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L?
So just this evening, I went out to run some errands and whatnot. It was cold so I turned on the heat and after I did so I began to hear a light rattling sound coming from inside the dash. It's an intermittent rattle, it almost kinda sounds like a Coffee Maker while it's brewing. I played around with the climate control, tried different temperature ranges, messed with the various vent modes, and it even happens when I turn the climate control off. Nothing I do seems to make it stop. All I know is it sounds like it's coming from within the dash itself, everything seems to work fine still, but the noise is pretty annoying. Does anyone maybe have an idea on what's causing this? Thanks for any help! Read more: What's causing this clicking/gurgling sound coming from dash on 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L?
How does rated motorcycle ccs work?
Specifically, I noticed that virtually all displacements of motorcycle engines are just slightly underrated. For instance, the Kawasaki Ninja 250 engine is actually 249cc of displacement. Similarly, the Honda website rates the 125cc from engine at 124.9cc. I've noticed this with a majority of motorcycles I've come across; their true displacement is slightly below their rated displacement. Any ideas why? Is this for some legal purpose?

Why won't my car turn on?
Monday morning (3 days ago) I drove my car to the store and back. In the afternoon I went to turn it on to go to work only to get it to not start at all. It simply makes one click sound when I turn the key. Here is some info: 1) I changed the battery to see if that was the cause but it's not 2) I was planning to take my car to Kwik Kar to get my oils checked and drained but I went to my car two hours before going to work to check the radiator to see if I was low on coolant. And I low on coolant/anti freeze. I told myself I was going to get it drained and refilled on Sunday as well. 3) Engine light has been on prior to this incident. The code was p0740. I don't have the money currently to fix it because I was told it would be costly. 4) I had not had problems turning it on prior to this happening. It really shocked me that it just died on me out of the blue without symptoms. The car: 2002 Honda Civic ex (1.7 liter/4cyl) automatic Here is a clip I uploaded of ...
