Funny thing happened last night. Never seen anything like it. Wonder if anyone has seen the same behavior?

I made a number of short trips in my '05 ES1 last night. The car was parked for a couple of hours while I did some chores. Chores finished, I started the car and drove exactly 2.5 miles (country highways). On this leg, the low-gas idiot light came on. Car behaving normally.

The car sat for 30 or 40 minutes. I started it up to head to the gas station. It had become pretty dark out, so I hit the headlights. Low gas idiot light came on again, and I flipped out because the fuel gauge was all the way at the bottom. Didn't rise up one bit! Holy cow! How did I get so low on gas? The light JUST came on!

So I head down the road, focusing on the fuel gage wondering if I'll make it the 7 miles to the gas station. Then I notice the temp gauge is still bottomed out too... what the...? The car could not have cooled off completely. HEY! The speedo is still bottomed out (I'm going around 60 mph at that point). Heeeeyyy... the Tach is bottomed out too! ALL the gauges were just... dead.

Dash illumination was all good. Odometer worked as usual, as did the seat belt & fuel warning lights. Radio, HVAC, all other lights and electrics/electronics were fine.

I get to the gas station and fill up. When I started the car up again, all gauges worked properly. Like nothing ever happened.

WTF? has this ever happened to anyone else?

Should I buy these? What do you think of them?

The price is right with brand new tires, and I like that they are OEM.

hello,
I thought of starting new thread instead of using the existing after taking this video.

The noise comes from rear right side when I take turns ,when I am on the slope or climb the slope.very negligible when i am on the bumps.
Initially I thought its suspension components, so I lubricated them with silicon spray last week, but didnt help.
now I am almost convinced that its coming from the trunk area(the metal pieces that connects trunk with the body), but not the trunk itself, because i lubricated the trunk springs as well last week.
I drove the car in our parking area(we have a good 3 feet slope from road to the parking lot) by leaving the trunk and right door open, and could hear the noise.
there is a long thread on other forum with similar problem, i spent 30 min in reading each and every post here.

http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/sh...=23629&page=16

seems that this problem is very common in accord and these guys spray some DuPont Teflon multi use lubricant to fix the same.
questions...
do you think the noise could be something else than trunk area?
if is trunk area,are there specific spots where we need to apply the lubricant?if possible,can someone please pinpoint with the pictures?
BlueEM2 mentioned that the components are rubber, but i dont see any rubber components in that area (where trunk connects to the body)

is silicon spray good for the lubrication in that area or should I try "Teflon multi use lubricant" as mentioned by the accord guys?
Currently i have

which i applied on the suspension components.

Thanks in advance.

my '02 when it's really hot outside will lose power, feels like clogged CAT but it's not. after engine cools down everything is OK. check eng lite is on. don't have a code reader. somebody said here that Autozone or O'Reilly will check your codes and give you a print out?

I have a smallish leak (3/4 qt in 5k miles). It is the front crank seal. I bought one today gonna tackle it tomorrow. I am pretty good with wrench, I was a mechanic for the last 15 years, see the sig. I have no doubt I can do it, just wondering what kind of timeframe it is taking you that have done it. Not worried about the water pump, t belt, all that jazz, I replaced it all not too terribly long ago. Just the seal.

I believe my multiplex control unit (MCU, attached to the back of fuse box under the driver dash) is faulty since my a/c won't turn on, but when i checked the fan and condenser clutch are working when i by passed the relays. my car is:
2002 civic LX 4 door manual transmission

if you have 2001-2005 manual transmission civic LX 4 door under driver dash fuse box please PM me, or reply this thread. thanks

Hello,

1991 honda civic 2 door hatchback..

Does anybody have any ideas about what may cause the front running lights to stop working? Everything else about the lights is working fine.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a 91 honda civic 2 dr hatchback and I'm trying to get the washer pump working.

Pulled the pump...it runs with power supplied. Didn't check for physical pump operation but it's making noise.

Tested for power at the fuse. Wiper/washer/ fuse.. I have power and the wipers work.

Pulled the control arm for the wiper switch off. It was fairly dirty inside and I cleaned it up with contact cleaner and Q tips..still nothing happening with the washer???

Is it worth buying a new/used wiper switch or is there another fuse or something in the system.

Thanks

The title says it all. I have a 2008 civic with 2- wheel disc brakes. Will get my brakes fixed in a while but I still can't get used to two wheel disc brakes. Would prefer to have 4-wheel disc brakes on my car. Could it be done? Or it will pointless to do since I have drum brakes in the rear?

Too costly?

Too hard?

Too much work?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Hey everybody,,,
My gurl has this 92 and this seems like the best place to be to hang with other Civic peeps.


I hang out over @ Infamousnissan.com since this is my ride



You guys (ezone) already hooked up the question/problem I was jus havin

That's what I'm talkin about:rockon:

What did we do before these forums ?

Peace

hi, my 99 honda civic lx is diagnosed with code P1362. And the mechanic wants to replace distributor. I recently gave my car for oil change to different place and didnt do extra repairs they wanted to do. Wonder if they tampered with my car. What should i do next? thanks a lot.

I have a '95 civic sedan, and it starts up perfectly with no problems. But, it rarely decides to cut off the fuel supply to the engine. I know this because i don't hear the system prime at all, and i don't see the check engine light turn off. (The check engine light always turns off when the system is primed, and it stays on if no fuel is pumped in yet.)

My question is: What is the problem? Is it the fuel pump, or is it an electrical problem?

Note that all the ignition components including spark plugs, distributor, ect. are working perfectly. Even the fuel pump seems to be working, since it works every single day until this rare occasion.

Also, about an hour later after this happened, it started right up.

I need that you bring me the code radio of my honda civic 2005 THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 27317727, please. I hope your answer soon.
