2002 Honda Civic EX key fob issues?
I recently purchased a 2002 Honda Civic EX and I can't get an aftermarket key fob programmed. I replaced the head unit last week (I still have the factory stereo) and I'm wondering if that would have an effect on it? The power locks on the doors do work, but I'm wondering what could be the cause of the key fob issues. Read more: 2002 Honda Civic EX key fob issues?
I have a 2006 Honda Accord EX 4-cylinder car with 175,000 miles on it. My radio suddenly stopped working last week while driving?
My radio suddenly stopped working last week while driving. I tried to power it back on, but was unable to do so. It stayed off until we got to our destination. Then serveral hours later, we started home and it powered back on. However, since then I have been unable to power it on. I checked/replaced the f10 amp fuse (radio #5), but it was not blown. I had the xm radio antenna replaced a month ago, because the garage door met the antenna box on the roof of the car while backing out of the garage and damaged it. The Honda dealer replaced it. It worked fine (XM radio, FM, AM, CD) however for several weeks until the incidnet occurred last week. Any ideas? Added (1). I just went out and checked every fuse in the cabin and the BACKUP/ACC 40 amp fuse in the engine compartment, They were all good, but after removing/re-inserting the cabin fuses, the radio now powers on? Added (2). I noticed that there was some sort of energizing noise when I re-inserted a few of these. Perhap...
Should I buy this car? - 1
2017 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL 20K miles $15k and clean title that I saw this in dealership, but is this a good car? It's quite reasonable for that submodel, and much cheaper than my 2014 Honda Civic LX that has been repo 2 years ago it was $17k and about same mileage like this.

What's is wrong with my car?
I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX and my car is overheating. It was running fine before the winter storm in Louisiana that caused temperatures to drop as low as 15 degrees. I started my car every day to make sure that it was still working. The water in the coolant reservoir was frozen but eventually thawed and I put more water in. I started my car up and went to drive and saw my temperature gauge rising to hot so I pulled over to a gas station and waited for a while then started it back up and put my hazard lights on then went home. I waited the next day then started it back up and went around the block it was fine for like 5 minutes then the gauge went up again but when I slowed down and braked, it dropped back to normal then rose back up again. So I opened to see under my hood while my car was on. The fans were not moving at all. I don't know if I have a bad water pump or a bad thermostat. I really don't know.

Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car?
Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle Read more: https://hondanews.net/odyssey/transmission-going-out-on-friend-s-2004-impala-is-it.html
Is it ok to drive my car once the check engine light turns off?
I drive a 2016 Honda Civic. A couple days ago my Check engine Light turned on. It turned off today. I got it checked and the code was P0326, a knock sensor problem.

Can I replace my OEM non-navigation head unit with a OEM navigation head unit?
The head unit for my 2017 Honda CR-V EX got damaged. Warranty won't cover it, and it will cost $2,000 to replace. I found a used 2017 Honda CR-V head unit online but it is for the trim that includes gps navigation. Can I replace my factory non-navigation with the factory navigation head unit? Even if the navigation won't work, would everything else work the same by just plugging it in? My head unit has touch screen controls to turn on or off blind spot motoring, automatic collision braking, door lock configuration, etc. Read more: https://hondanews.net/odyssey/can-i-replace-my-oem-non-navigation-head-unit-with-a.html
Where on the engine block would I put a thermometer for a quadbike?
I have a Honda 350D and the fan thermostat has broken, rather than spending money replacing the unit I'm looking to wire the fan into a switch. I have also purchased a digital thermometer which I plan to wire in, but I need to place the receiver on the engine block, but which part do I connect it to, top end, or radiator and if so top of the radiator or bottom? (oil cooled). Many thanks in advance! Read more: Where on the engine block would I put a thermometer for a quadbike?
HONDA 2007 ACCORD MANUAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM?

When I start the car it won't go into first gear from neutral but if I start it in first it goes smooth and easy up to third gear but fourth and fifth kinda hard. Reverse is an issue too… Any ideas?

Ballpark cost for car fix?
I posted this earlier with inadequate information, so here we go again. It's a 1998 Honda Civic. I turned right out of my parking spot only for my car to drop on the right side and make a very ~expensive~ dragging noise. The ball joint is in pieces, the control arm is pulled from where it's supposed to be, and it seems the half-shaft has been pulled out of the transmission. Anyone with some car experience know what price I'm looking at here? Read more: Ballpark cost for car fix?

What are some things i can do to my 2012 honda accored to give it more horse power?
My car is weak, it does alright with just me in the car but it needs more power so i can carry passangers and things in the trunk with out losing so much power. I enjoy driving fast and all though i know i don't have a race car or anything i enjoy upgrades because its more rewarding to customize a car then to buy it already done. I've already added a cold air intake but it only added like 15 to my HP and i was looking to bump it up about 150 more. My car is currently at 155 and i think 305 would be satisfying to me plus give me the pick up i need when i have passangers. I do enjoy a more throaty sound and the cold air intake made it sound more so, i'm bot going to rice it out but i would enjoy hearing my engine more.

Which car is more ideal for winter conditions
We have a 2008 Honda Pilot with 4WD and a 2016 Sedona Front wheel drive. The pilot is all wheel drive however it's in need of a tire change while the Sedona has new tires. Both are on all seasons as we live in an area that doesn't snow, winter tires are not a necessity for us. Which car will be safer for Lake Tahoe weather.

Slight over-inflation: Problem?
I purchased a new set of tires for my Honda Civic (185/54 R14). I always keep 35 psi (cold) in them. When I checked the tire pressure (several days and about 20 miles of driving later), the pressure was 40 psi (cold). The installer put in a bit "extra". Any problem with running these little tires at 5 psi. Over for that short period? (I lowered them back down to 35 psi). Thanks! Added (1). Sorry about the tire size, I typed it wrong: should be 185/65 R14, and it was checked when cold (40 lbs). Thanks for your answers!

Does it make sense for a single driver to own 2 cars? Debating whether to trade in my old car when I buy another or keep it
I'm an owner of a 2000 Honda Civic EX with approximately 241,700 miles on the odometer. I've had the car since 2005 and have recently decided to upgrade to a newer vehicle and keep the Civic as an extra commuter/beater car for local travel. After taking the Civic to the shop due to a clunking noise coming from the front of the car while driving, it was found out that the tie rods are pretty much shot. The entire rack & pinion assembly will need to be replaced as well as it has been leaking for some time, but it's been a slow, manageable leak. Other issues found by the mechanic include worn, leaking front struts and a leaking radiator, which will need to be replaced sometime soon, but can probably wait a bit longer. However, the engine, clutch, transmission, air conditioning tires and brakes are all still in good shape. My question is sort of a two part question: 1) is this car worth keeping given its condition? 2) Does it make sense to own a second vehicle when I'...

How long does it take a Honda Accord battery to fully charge?
My car battery died today. This is the second time this has happened within 3 months (Honda said the first time that the battery tested good). I don't use the car often and live about 10 minutes from work. I feel like the cold affected it this time? Or could it be a combination of that and the fact i'm not using the car besides to go to work really… This is a certified pre owned vehicle i've own for less than 1 year Read more: https://hondanews.net/accord/how-long-does-it-take-a-honda-accord-battery-to-fully.html
Unknown hole in a Isuzu rodeo?
Above my license plate there's an unknown hole on my Honda Passport/Isuzu Rodeo it's a 2002. If anyone has this year or a similar year I want to know what supposed to go here. I was looking for a place to install a backup camera, what was supposed to be here I might just put the backup camera there. It's not letting me post a picture but it's directly above the license plate about in the middle. On the underside of the lip it's not visible when you're looking at the car straight on you have to be looking up from the license plate at eye level. Read more: Unknown hole in a Isuzu rodeo?

Did I damage my car by forgetting the emergency brake was on while backing up?
Yesterday I was backing out of a parking spot that was in a slight inclune. The car backed up a bit but there was a car coming so I stopped. Once the car passed I continued to step on the gas to reverse but the car wouldn't move. I took my foot off and pushed it again. Maybe did this two more times before I realized my emergency brake was on. My question is did I damage anything by doing this? I have an automatic transmission and the car is a 08 Honda Civic hybrid.

Why doesn't my car restart after I turn it off?
I drive a 1996 Honda Prelude Si 2.3L. When I drive my car over 30 miles or more and park. When I try to restart the car it starts up and dies immediately. I usually have to leave it alone for about an hour or so and then it starts up again. Took it to 3 mechanics. 1st mechanic diagnosed it as a bad ECM. 2nd said it might be the ignition switch. 3rd said it was the distributor. I properly installed a rebuilt distributor from Auto Zone and the car still dies after driving for a while. If its not the distributor then what else could it be? In order of most likely to least likely Read more: https://hondanews.net/why-doesn-t-my-car-restart-after-i-turn-it-off.html

Does honda Charge a diagnostic fee?
So, I just went to honda because the ac in my civic hasn't been working right for the past 2 weeks (sometimes it blows cold air and sometimes the air is warm)… Pulled up and one of the advisor says to me " it's going to be $160 to diagnose the problem" I said what?, nah, I'm not paying that. Not when I have honda care. Long story short he said, he will waive the fee. But proceeded to tell me that that is usually the fee that they charge and that is separate from parts and labor that would be needed to repair whatever issue is diagnosed. So I'm curious. Anyone ever heard of this? Thought this guy was trying to punk me. Read more: Does honda Charge a diagnostic fee?

Do I get new tires and how many?
I have a 2006 Honda Civic with three tires I feel need to be replaced, but one that is still good on tread. The readings are 3/32, 3/32, 4/32, and 7/32. The less worn tire is newer, and by the manufacture date, appears to have been put on the vehicle right before I purchased the car used in 2013. The three lowest ones all have a leak that costs ~10 psi a week so I'm constantly having to fill them, and they are the worst tire I have ever used, thus I want to replace them. Is it recommended to replace all four tires to match, or just the three bad ones? Also, if I were to consider selling the vehicle soon, should I even bother to replace the tires? Will it affect how much I can get for the vehicle if it has fresh tires rather than old tires? I don't exactly want to spend $500 on new tires if the vehicle can be sold for the same with or without new tires. Read more: https://hondanews.net/civic/do-i-get-new-tires-and-how-many.html
Should I replace speakers and headunit in car before I sell it?
I have a Honda S2000 and I'm thinking of selling it soon. There speakers are blown, the aftermarket head unit is worn and finicky, there's an amp in the trunk, and the fob for the alarm needs reprogrammed.
