Re: Possibly easy fix....?

have someone push the horn, while you try to find exactly where it is clicking. Relay or horn itself. the relay may be bad, or the current is finding ground somewhere. Check wiring, it could be as simple as a splice.

Re: malfunction indicator light?

on your engine are several sensors, all linked to the ECU (engine control unit). The sensors send information about the functions of the engine to the ecu. When a sensor is failing, the ecu informs the driver by turning on the CEL (check engine light). The code (which indicates the system that is no...

Re: Reverse lights stuck on.

Check out the switch. I had an odd thing happen to mine. I installed a new clutch, among other things, and when I got it back together, the oddest change had happened. No reverse, I had only forward gears, and the reverse lights came on in fifth gear. This was caused by misplacing the seal/washer on...

Re: The rattle in the doors!

yeah, you may wanna get on the ball!
I'd suggest taking off the panel, then maybe shake the door, or tap against the inside panel of it, to find that rattle. You'll probably find the clip that's messing up while you're taking off the door panel. Good luck with it

Re: Weird Problem CEL

I'd suggest pulling any code it may have. Clear the codes and try it again, see if the CEL comes back on, if so, get the code. Check its oil and coolant levels consistently. and if it's handy, a compression test, to test the head gasket possibility. Best of luck!

cold idle speed and warming time

Hello. I was taking pics of the gauges I have in my car. 94 RS. When checking out the pics I notice it took 6 minutes for the engine to warm up, with idle starting at 1200, then down to 700. It just seems to warm up faster than I remember. Last winter I did my engine swap to a B6ZE from japan. So no...

Re: window creeps down on me

have you removed the door panel to see what is causing the vibration? Sounds like it could be the spring in the crank mechanism. It keeps the window up, and if there's a problem with it, the window doesn't work right. The spring applies the tension necessary to keep the mechanism in check at all tim...

Re: over heting/blowing cold air

Fill'er back to the top, warm it up, and check for leaks. If you don't find a leak, drive it around, mind the temp gauge at all times. See how long it takes for the level to go down. You may also check for other problems, especially of you're losing fluid and can't see where it's going. If it's just...
