The camshaft and crankshaft sensors are also known to go easily on these models.

Ok once you've burned the file as an iso image onto the cd and you've gotten the program running by clicking HMEPC.EXE in the c:\epc directory where it is installed you'll be greeted by the program with 5 options at the top menu bar.Click the third one from the left,selecting the only available opti...

Just changed this filter along with the two seals and gasket this week,and car drives times better than before.For those who need part numbers for these items it's as follows:- PACKING, OIL PAN (Oil Pan Gasket) 21814-P4V-000 FILTER COMP - 25450-P4V-013 O-RING, 37.7X3.5 (ARAI) - 91305-PN4-003 O-RING,...

My guess is its the d15b non vtec.Looks identical to my engine bay.

HondaR

Yep very good without ac. Even with ac at two notches some days better than others but none as good as with it off. Seems honda was concentrating too much on fuel economy when designing this engine that they forgot all about the speed side of this engine.MY swift 1300 engine was like a pocket rocket...

HondaR

To the OP,is it really the D15b non vtec engine you have

HondaR

As said by CD4ACCORD,similar scenario in the civic in overtaking with a/c on.Make sure you have ample room when overtaking with the D15b non vtec engine,otherwise say ur prayers.Otherwise its a very reliable and user friendly car,just in my 18 years of owning 4 cars the d15b is the most dead engine ...

HondaR

I'm guessing the op has the 1500 non vtec engine as i have this same issue 9 yrs now but i've just learnt to live with it and get around the problem by using the a/c at two notches.The higher you go the more power u loose and on the civic with the a/c on the power loss is substantially greater than ...

Hi there tuners.Have a 96 ek hatch.The central locking stopped working.Over the yrs when it happend i would take off the passsenger door handle and spray inside and it would start to work.However this time doing that doesnt work anymore.The central locking works on unlocking the door but it doesnt l...

Ok buddy

HondaR

To Sti7,does your tranny really take 5qts,cause mine takes around 4 1/2 or a little less.

HondaR

Very good post.Mine actually need cleaning and searched far and wide on how it was done and finally found a post on how it is actually done wid pics and all.Thank you very much.

HondaR

I've been having same problem for quite a long time now as well , same cvt civic,been changing the fluid every yr since i got it 8 yrs ago.Mechanic said to change the transmission filter but I've read its inside the transmission so that was a no no,anyone else can enlighten us.

HondaR

Yeh men reporting back.Happy to say everythings back to normal again.The extreme pressure in the cooling system has returned to normal again, weird, top hose isnt hard as rock when it's hot like it was before.Coolant I was seeing at the top of radiator seeping from the seams is once again dry like i...

HondaR

Sorry for the double post,internet playing the fool!!!

HondaR

Update:- Realised since 2-3 days it stopped disappearing after reaching a certain drop, thought that was weird.So left it to see if by today if it wud go down any further.So checked back today to see it is at same level and also checked radiator, to find a very slight drop but is not disppearing pas...

HondaR

Thanks for replying.Back of my mind's also telling me its the gasket.So far i havent seen any bubbles in the radiator and no smoke as far as i can tell from the exhaust. Was ur coolant only disppearing when cold or hot as well? For the moment I'm taking a breather and the car is parked.Its not my da...

HondaR

Yeh tuners, have a 96 ek3 civic , auto cvt.Coolant is disappearing from the overflow bottle without any leaks underneath.It also seems excessive pressure is being created in the engine and radiator.Changed the old radiator that was leaking and i'm on my second radiator , where the first started to l...

HondaR

Thanks everyone for the input.

HondaR

At the moment the oem radiator i have has a 1.1.So was asking in case i go with a non genuine radiator and if it comes with a 0.9 , will it work for the system or will i need to get a 1.1.Sorry if i didnt come through clearly at first.Thanks.

HondaR

Thanks for the input r3iXmann .Another question will the 0.9 radiator cap work or it has to be 1.1.

HondaR

Thanks for the response JDM_GUY.

HondaR

Thanks bro , but wanted some feedback on genuine vs non genuine.

HondaR

Yeh guys have to change my radiator in my ek3 civic.Am at the crossroads on if to go with the non genuine one or spend the extra dollars and go with the oem.Would like some feedback from persons who bought the non genuine one and if any problems etc experienced going this route.Thanks in advanced. A...

HondaR

Wait Custom-x that is you.Does see that car so regular but didnt know it did u .Welcome to bim man and car looking sweet

HondaR

Did you change the timing belt recently

The above as pointed out by speedfreak usually happens after changing the timing belt and u don't use locktite to tighten the crankshaft bolt.

HondaR

Ya all in here cracking me up.Yep rice in truth lol.Did some more investigation.Found the boot will fit back exact once the casing is removed.Only thing got to rig up sain now , cause it was done by someone and fitted back right without any problems , only thing he didnt have the knob.Another proble...
