Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods Speaking of tune-up mods... It is right about time for my "30K mile service", but the thing is, I have done pretty much everything that the dealer lists within the last 3 months. The only thing I haven't done myself is "inspect and adjust drive belts" and "check parking brake adjustment". Honestly, I don't really know where to start with those two. Any ideas? If this is the wrong thread, lemme know and I'll move it, gear. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods lol those dont even count. basically if you pull the parking brake up and it works, it doesnt need adjustment. all they do is lube it if its squeaking. drive belts, they just check power steering and alternator belts. you can push down the middle of the belt and feel how tight it is. usually they do not go out of adjustment. other than that, only things that come to mind are coolant flush, trans fluid change, and brake fluid flush (every 3 yrs). |

Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods mad props |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods ic ic, well the thing is im ordering it all online thats why. n im not in need of it. im also ordering a multiplexor for an accord... |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods REP+1..not that you need it! :lol: |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods does anyone know why hondaautomotiveparts.com isnt working when i try to click "submit" my order? |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods idk i just ordered a bunch of stuff twice in the last week with opera. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods I thought that thing was the fuel filter? weird. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods no, thats an air filter. fuel filter is inside the tank you get to it from under the rear seat cushion. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods when should u change ur fuel filter gear? when it fails, or mileage? honda says never... but i REALLY doubt that... |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods well its every 100k miles OR when the fuel pressure drops below spec. im sure you can also go past 100k if the fuel pressure is still good. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods gearbox after i PMed u about my car not idleing right it accored to me that i previously ran out of gas sucked the tank dry. (but i got 650 miles on that tank :rtfm::giggle:) could i have sucked crap into my fuel filter and or screwed up my injectors doing so? |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods possibly, someone else had the same problem here. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods Hate to bring this thread back.. but im going to.. I am probably going to be changing tranny fluid at around 80k now I heard that there is also a filter.(Kinda of like an oil filter) should this be changed as well? I dont think it is easy though seeing how its actually inside the transaxle. Is this true? |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods yeah its inside, cannot be changed unless you take the whole trans apart. what i did was buy the civic HX CVT auto trans external trans filter kit and installed that. i just change it every year or two. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4...ansfilter2.jpg |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods 03 civic si with 150 000km. In idles rough on cold startup sometimes. I'm planning on changing plugs and performing the maintence u required in this thread. I'm not sure about changing o2 sensor. Would u recommand replacing it even though its still good. I was told if its working don't change it |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods thanks for the write up :) btw your engine bay is very clean, it looks like you just bought it brand new. good job! |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods tunedx-try to clean out the throttle body and IAC valve with carb cleaner and i bet it fixes the rough idle. you can change plugs too with NGK if you want. |

Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods 02 sensor will trigger check engine light when it goes bad. iac valve is bolted to the throttle body and has the two coolant lines going into it. |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods if i got iacv bypassed and blocked off i dont need to clean it do i? |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods how you check fuel pressure so you know when to change fuel filter or pump? |
Re: DIY: forgotten tune-up mods fuel pressure i believe you need a special gauge and you can check it by tapping to the fuel line near the engine. i dont know the specifics cause ive never needed to check. if you have iac blocked, thats means its not even on the car right? |
