    Idling problem

    jeez i'm not sure what to tell ya, this h22 stuff is uncharted territory for me. which pcm are you using? i think the vapor line you're talking about is the one going to the evap canister. the purge valve duty cycles to let vapor from the canister into the intake to be burned. i'd try to...

    Idling problem

    or maybe a simpler version of it. that is weird, is it guaranteed to idle poorly after refueling or only sometimes? is it idling really low on all 4 or does it misfire too?

    Idling problem

    Bazaar. Is this modded or factory setup? Wild guess but something to do with the EVAP system? system confuses me but i know there is a canister that holds vapors after refueling. maybe there is a solenoid that is stuck open allowing the vapors to be pulled into the intake at idle rather than...

    Rears are easier done buying the whole hub assembly. The fronts require a press either way.

    Do I need a ball joint remover if replacing the UCA and suspension?

    check out tooltopia.com i bought a separator there extra cheap and it works fairly well. you can try hammering but that may not even cut it if it's wedged in there nice. torquing the nuts on the new joints to spec and replacing the cotter pin does the job when you put things back together

    Temperature Needle Going Through "H" and Over

    i can't find a test for the gauge itself. what i meant was the resistance at the sending unit and at the gauge where the yel/grn wire goes into it should be the same. if the resistance is a lot less entering the gauge it would mean there is a short. this would definitely be tricky to find if it...

    Temperature Needle Going Through "H" and Over

    if your scanner shows 198-207f ECT thats perfect. the sending unit is a separate circuit. im thinking the gauge is damaged or the wire is shorting on something. when that wire grounds itself, the gauge will peg so any kind of rubbing or chaffing with that wire exposed will make the needle...

    Ball Joint Replacement

    I saw a coupe last month with a broken joint. the wheel came back and screwed up the fender. that would be the least of your problems. If you wanted to DIY you'll need a press and a BJ separator. what you could do is take the control arms off and bring them to someone for fixing, might save you...

    increasing keyless remote entry range

    do you have another transmitter to try? theyre kind of fragile in case yours is damaged. mine is really pissy, sometimes i get it 100' out, other times it wont work even when i'm standing on top of the car. btw i think the multiplex is near the glove compartment.

    because it wont start easy! you should be able to measure the resitance at the valve w a multimeter to know it's position. you have the 4 or 6?

    what happens when The egr...

    if the egr is stuck, it will set a code because it's open and the PCM wants it shut during startup.

    Need Help Accord 2000

    wow thats a lot of stuff going on at once. i wonder if your PCM is sick. i see this is a week old but have you had any luck? all those sensors use a 5v reference and depending on the condition at the sensor, they send a voltage of 0.5v to 4.5v to the pcm. it would be interesting to see what they...
