How do you diagnose the trouble codes 1361 - 1362 on a 2002 Honda Civic EX?

This happened to me. Turns out my Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor was bad. Yours is too. This sensor in located behind the timing chain cover on my 2001 civic. You have to take the cover off to get to it. Honda dealer wanted $360 in labor to change the sensor. Because it was in the same the location Honda would have changed my timing chain for no extra labor charge. So I went to the Honda dealer and got the sensor ($56) and went to the auto parts store and got a timing chain, water pump, and new belts. Local mechanic changed all these parts for $160 in labor (others wanted $230). $130 for the sensor and timing chain and $30 more for the pump. I probably could have hacked that timing chain cover off myself but that is what thought would happen. A hack job. And it was time for a new chain anyway. 92 plus degrees outside and the civic is running fine. Praise Jesus from whom all blessing come.

How do you go about changing an alternator belt on a 92 civic?

Be PatientI'm now working on my son's 1995 Honda Civic LX with a 1.5L Engine 4-door LX model. (I understand that Civic 92-95 are the same) His alternator belt broke so I figured it would be a good father-son first car learning experience for him and a simple task for me. (wrong...).

Since the alternator belt is the closest to the engine of the three belts on the crackshaft pulley, I started by removing the Power Steering pump belt since it is the furthest away. Loosen the pivot pulley at the bottom, then the adjusting pulley at the top. The wing nut screw at the top can then be removed and the belt will come loose. That is where simple ends.

To be able to see anything from the top, remove all the bolts from of the power steering pump and move it out of the way. One can then clearly see the tensioner pulley in between the crackshaft pulley and the A/C clutch pulley.

We removed the driver's side tire and plastic wheel well to see the pulleys and belts more clearly. From underneath the wheel well is also how we first located the A/C tensioner pulley adjusting screw, which adjusts from the top IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

This screw is a 10mm hex head screw which is between the engine and the back of the the A/C tensioner pulley. (Get your Mag-lite out) You'll need a few extension bars on your ratchet to reach it. When you start loosening the adjusting screw, if you are lucky, it will loosen the belt and the pulley will move lower. In our case, since corrosion and dirt were everywhere, we took some WD-40 and Blaster (top and bottom) and hardly loosened it up. We had to pound on the top of the extensions with the 10mm socket connected to get the pulley to move down and fully loosen the belt.

Here is the best part.....When you go to remove the A/C belt, the motor mount prevents the belt from coming out. Yes!... you have to remove the outer nut on the motor mount by starting with a 19mm socket, followed by a deep well 14 mm socket to remove the steel bar that goes through the middle of the motor mount rubber (we don't have a deep well 14mm so I might unbolt the whole motor mount and slide the belts through.

We stopped for the night at this point, but the rest should be simple once the motor mount is out of the way. We will be changing all the belts.

How do you remove and replace a drivers side front door power window motor in a 1994 Lexus ES300?

first remove the panel, screws, ect., then unbolt the door glass and then unbolt the bolts that hold the window track and motor to the door itself. the track and the motor comes out together as one piece. you will have to have someone hold the glass up or secure it some how, tape, stick, ect, and swing it forward until it comes out. hope it helps because i had to do mine three time already.

Cost of timing belt replacement cost on a Honda Civic EX 1999?

It's about 2.5 hrs of labor and the belt is about $40. Depending on labor rates in your area, you're looking at about $300. They will also try to talk you into replacing the water pump at the same time, which is not a bad idea since 90% of the labor is already paid for. A new water pump runs around $100.

IMO, since the labor cost is most of this expense, make sure these inexpensive parts are also replaced; oil seals to avoid future leaks, water pump which won't last much longer anyway, drive belts which are also due to change out, new antifreeze. This will also drive up the cost of the labor and the parts cost. Honda cars will go for a long time if the repair schedule is followed.

How do you fix the speedometer cable on a 1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue?

The bad news is, you probably can't. But you can buy a new one for cheap off of ebay. That's what I did, and it worked just fine. The cable i bought was the wrong one but it fit on the transmission. I had to modify the other end to fit under the hood though. It works just fine! They are also not very expensive.

Does a hood from a 1999 Honda Civic fit a 1993 Honda Civic?

a hood from a 1999 civic will only fit a 1999 or 2000 civic, and for the 1993, you should be able to use any hood from a 92-95 civic, of the same style (ex. coupe fits coupe, sedan to sedan, and hatchback to hatchback, though I believe hatchback and coupe use the same hood)

What are the main parts of a valve train?

Can you put a 96' civic front end on a 93' civic?

you can put the plastic pices on it but now the under workings like the front drive train will not work With minor mods its definitely do-able. CORRECT ANSWER this is how you do it. you need to buy a list of parts. front radiator support, headlights, fenders, hood and front bumper for a 96 civic. then you removed (by chizling) the stock radiator support and weld the 96 radiator support on. next you must cut the fenders in half, both the 93 and the 96 fenders. then you weld the front part of the 96 fender on the rear part of the 93 fender, fiberglass and bondo smooth. then you can install all the parts on there. you can use this method do also put 94-00 acura integra front end on your civic. how do i know, ive done it.

Does a 1993 Honda civic have a fan belt?

Technically no, the fan is driven by an electric motor. It does however have at least one drive belt (which are still refered to as fan belts) which drives the pulley for the power steering pump and the alternator.

Can you swap out a 1998 Acura Integra gs-r vtec engine with a 1998 Acura Integra gs engine?

ya for sure, any B18 engine can fit in an integra. I don't know why you would want to swap in a slower engine tho...

The GSR engine is a B18c which comes with VTEC pulling out about 178 hp @ 7600 rpm and a GS/LS/RS usually come with a B18b Non VTEC pulling out about 142 hp @ 6300 rpm.

Why won't the automatic transmission on my 1989 Volvo 24odl shift into third gear?

I second this question--only for a 1992 Volvo 240. My girlfriend would like to drive home...although she gets to stay here until it's fixed. ;)

Is a 1996 Honda Civic timing adjustable?

Yes, buy a haynes or chiltons guide and it will give you directions to do this.

It's pretty easy, have it warm, jump the service connector, connect timing light, loosen the distributor and off you go.
