Good luck.
Is there any product out there that will remove this? Would a rust paint stand up on these rims?
Or would I be better of just to get new rims?
Thanks
That is a TON of miles but the price is excellent.
Pay the money for a used car inspection at your Honda dealer.
I took my 2001civic ex to the dealer when the car had 10000 miles and they performed
the 7.5k service check for $100.@ Paragon Honda in NYC. It turns out my struts were leaking.
They have changed the passengers side strut and i still have to go back to put the other one in since they had to order it, but the knock is gone. The service guy told me that it had been a common problem with the new civic. I'm not sure if its because of the redesign or because
i drive on real NYC crap roads,but in any case i was surprised they went that early.Other than that the car is great....
I blew away a Toyota Matrix on the Grand central Pkwy, Poor guy can't handle the 180HP
i killed w/my 127HP ex...ha
that wasn't happening after 2wks. They should'n take that long to get it. The Matrix looks like a fun car to drive but really didn't feel confortable with the way Toyota does business. Before i got my 01 civic i was really interested in getting Tacoma Double cab pick-up. But they force u to get
the options which IMHO, should be on a car. All of a sudden, a $17000 truck becomes $24500
, this is BS man! I realized they do this with all Toyota, anyway I prefer Honda's.At least the engines&tranny's are still built in japan.
after a few days they got it to not start. The bottom line is they discovered a "bad immobilizer
receiver" which they replaced and now things are
OK. During this time, I received a rental car
(no charge). If more details are desired by
anyone, I will can provide them. Thanks for
replies I have received!
Did they replace the car battery? Anything goes in a used car.
"I replaced the battery"
There's the key - lost program.
"can the Accord remote be programmed"
Do you know how to program the remote, why don't you try it?

On March25, 1st and 2nd gear start changing VERY harshly. This was after driving for about 30-45 minutes. 3rd gear was almost normal. I was out of town and checked with the H dealer there and they suggested a 'trans' flush or replacement of a solenoid valve. Either way, travel was finished and had to return home. On March26, took car to my dealer (no appt available on 25th), and problem still existed. They flushed and refilled 'trans' fluid, didn't help. They made other adjustments, didn't help. They called Honda proper, and they suggested what had already been done. The final analysis and diagnosis was to replace the 'trans',,,,,,which, at this point, is scheduled for next week. HOWEVER, on March27, I had errands to do and the 'trans' shifted SO smoothly that I had to watch my tach to make sure it was shifting. I know from experience - toyota and chevy - that transmissions do not heal themselves. Has anybody had this problem before and what did you do?? Thanks!!
p.s. I'm the 2nd owner and March25 was his 2yr 'anniversary.' He had just a little over 20k miles when purchased.
is that if they are going to warranty you a reman trans for free, you may as well start out with a new reman transmission since you already know that you atleast had a problem with the trans that is in the car now. Good luck with your choice..
The key is the FCC-ID, the CIV has its own relative series numbers (as is the Accord's).
On a side note, I have new fobs for my CR-V and I noticed they were slightly different than the ones I have from the Accord. The Accord's (made in the US) fobs seemed sealed, although I think there is a way to open it. Whereas the CR-V's (made in Japan) have an easily accessed way to replace the battery.
On another side note, what's a Civic LE?
To carguy62 the Civic `LE` should have been a Civic LX. His owner has had a *very* bad week and just didn't catch the typo during edits. And if I could post an `embarrassed` face, I would.
The problem could be that the fuel presure is bleeding off and needs to re-presurize before the start up. The sun still out in the 5pm start could have kept presure in the tank through the radiant heat. Try turning the key to the run position and waiting for 5 secounds before trying to start and see if the start up is better. This will presurize the system.
i'll try the method auburn63 has told and hopefully it'll start up fine so at least i know that the fuel pressure thing is the problem.
and good luck to u too.
cuz tonite when i started it without waiting for 5 secs in "on" position, the hesitation appeared again, it's not that bad but it's noticable.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
I don't think it's anything to worry about. Now if it did it after you'v been driving around, then I would be worried.
