2002 Honda Civic - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The origin of the leak may be oil spilled form the Valve cover gasket job. With a warm, not hot engine, spray with degreaser and hose off the oil and cleaner. Leave to dry. Run car for a couple of days and check again. Yes replacing the gasket should fix it as long as it isn't warped. Civics tend to get thrashed by young drivers, so you may need to get the head skimmed at a machine shop. ..

Your Civic has immobilizer, which means it will not allow duplicate keys. There are high chance that your old keys are worn out and this could be the reason. Any ways i would suggest you how to remove the keys but involves bit technical work . The LHS dash board part can be unscrewed and removed fully using the car manual, once removed the key holder joints to 4 brace compartment and there is a button beneath it, you need to press the small red button to release the key. This is not a standard method of removal, if your car has security alarm make sure you turn it off.. please remember - this suggestion should be followed only if this is your car. I;m not responsible for the solution being incorrectly followed without following manual.

Brake light relay, don't think there is one for the brake lights.

first i would check your fuses to make sure you havent blown one

Remove the plastic cover and you should be able to adjust the catch.

I would suggest leaving the light on. That is the warning light telling people in the car that the air bag is in-op.That can causde a very dangerous situation.

Hi if could be the TPS, the Throttlebody could be dirty unfortunately there's quite a few things it could be

Hi Bernie Well it sounds like something you have done during the repair. There is no miracle fix i can offer,unfortunatley. 1st of all as you have an engine light on you need a code reader to see what has turned the engine light on. You can obtain one of these at a reasonable price from any good car accessory shop or on line. These units are always handy to have. Once you have made a note of any engine codes that has been set clear the codes. Once codes have been cleared try vehicle again it may have sorted problem, if light comes on again read code is it the same as before. look in area of the discription given possibe a sensor not connected properly wiggle test connector,is there another connector close that may have got mixed up and connected to the wrong sensor? You also mentioned timing are you absolutley sure all timing marks were in possition when setting the timing? Are there any pinched wires on engine harness any loose or disconnected earth wires in areas where you have worked. At the end of the day you have to re-check every thing you have touched/ altered. Good luck

If a defective spark plug was found, it can destroy the secondary winding in the coil pack for that plug. Change the plug wires too.

its best to change cam and crack sensors at the same time, but as for removing engine to change belts thats a no there is a plate in the wheel arch that needs removing to gain access. removing the wheel and you will see the plate that needs removing. belt change is not hard to do. if the cam sensor has failed and replaced and still a fault then its not this at all that is the problem. you can get a false code, and resetting it and running engine to see if it comes up again. also if the garage is using the right equipment it will be able to diagnose a run test this will tell you the full state of the problem so you don't waste money replacing every single part. a failed Maf sensor on some models can make a cam sensor fail as its linked, and that usually just needs a clean with MAF cleaner, this people change the air filter and forget about the sensor. the muck ats on the air filter can get thought to the sensor and give a false reading. also when a part is replaced the ecu needs to be reset or it will say engine faults any were up 60 starts of the engine. so i would have this done. hope this helps. plus if belts lose you would know while running the engine it will squil or make strange sounds. i would recommend another garage if you are going to this one. use a recommended garage, or a garage specialised to you vehicle. changing parts as they think will cost you more money in the long run. good luck with your repair.

Is the alternator working properly? Have it tested.

check timing, adjust valve clearance, check vacuum leaks. these are some that need attention.

you should never cut the wires on your factory harness... metra and other companys have harnesses that fit your car and would provide you with a correct wire color code you need to hook up a aftermarket stereo keep that in mind but i will post the wire diagram u are looking for

SRS: Supplemental Restraint System (airbag) If the light is on, there is something wrong.

No that is pretty much a wrap the transmission is gone out to lunch and will need a rebuild most likely.

This is known as "get me home" mode/limp mode. It is designed for you to get the car safely to the side of the road. Needs to go to a garage as there is a fault somewhere which will probably need attaching to a computer to investigate.

sorry you will need to contact a dealer

Well, nobody like to hear this, but this is the way it is because coded radios were designed to keep people who steal them from easily getting the code to make them work. So:

If an audio unit with theft protection is disconnected from electrical power, you must enter a unique code number into the unit or it will not work. This code and the audio unit’s serial number are listed on the anti-theft ID card that comes with the vehicle. If this card is lost, you must obtain the audio unit serial number in order to get the radio code (some people say that they have found the code on a sticker inside the glove compartment, but I wouldn’t count on that). Some newer vehicles allow you to retrieve the audio unit serial number electronically from the radio. Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific procedure (the following usually will work: Turn the radio off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons at the same time, then quickly release. The serial number will come up in two sets of numbers.)
Some older vehicles (model year 2003 and older) require a visit to the dealer in order to retrieve the audio unit serial number (or you can remove the unit and get the serial number from the back of the radio). Once you have the audio unit serial number, you can call Auto Customer Service at (800) 999-1009 or have the dealer look up the radio code.

Here is the URL for the Honda Owner page. If you register (no charge) you are able to get radio codes using the VIN number of your car, the serial number of your radio, and the Phone Number and Zip Code that you give them when you register.
