Is the water pump working properly? Are the rad hoses clear. If there is a kinked spot that will cause it to not flow properly. If the thermostat is installed up side down that will cause problems as well. I did that myself on a car.

Make him do it. You have to take apart the steering column bezel. and may have to remove the switch to get it plugged in. Most likely you don't have the tools to do it. Torx bits..

Most outside mirrors are not designed to replace the glass...you can find a new replacement mirror complete on the internet...or at your local salvage yard...$25.-$75...Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with the over temp sensor on the compressor. I had it repaired at the dealer for $200.00 plus. I just had the same problem reoccur. This time I bypassed the switch myself.

There is a small wire harness that runs from the compressor above the radiator, inside there are three wires. After determining which ones to jump " two smaller gage blue" the AC system works fine in all modes.

who diagnosed the ECU , its more than likely to be the Electric Motor for the power steering as it goes hard , did you get the OBD codes read ? sometimes just clearing the code will cure the issue ,

Error Code: P1457 Description - Evaporative Emissions Control System Leakage. Causes: - Fuel is filled with the engine start. - Missing Fuel cap - Wrong fuel filler cap is used - Fuel filler cap seal is leaky. - VSV Valve connector near air filter box is detached or wire broken. - VSV Valve vacuum pipe near air filter box is detached.

check if u have brake fluid in da resovor and check da button above the brake peddles

1.take in a sample is the best method,2.to test a cap you need to put it under working presure

If you're in a cold climate, they may have put some heavy weight of oil in the tranny.

there may be a short in the motor. I would have it checked out ASAP

Check if you have spark at the plugs. Check for fuel at the rail. Then we can get closer to the problem. If the car cranks ok but no start, look at the Main Relay and fuse. hope this helps getting started.

I would check your firing order, and all the stuff with the distributor, no loose connections and stuff, check the condition of all your plugs, make sure they are gapped correctly, check everything, maybe your injectors are clogged or broken? (unlikely but still check it out) then at last check for compression. All you need is fuel, spark and compression to fire. Check all cylinders to make sure they are ok on everything.

Get your tools (for removing a spark plug) ready. Try to start the engine, pumping the accelerator a little while you crank. Take a spark plug out. Is the spark plug wet with gas (smell fuel)? If so, you are getting fuel. Hook the spark plug you just took out up to the coil, lay it on the engine where it will be grounded to the metal. Get someone to crank the engine, and check for spark at the end of the plug. If there is a good spark, that eliminates another problem (don't crank the engine, or let it run too long with the plug out). If you have spark, and fuel, either the timing is way off (broken, slipped timing belt/chain), or you have no compression (internal engine).

Do you have a "Check Engine" light, or any other warning light on? Recently you make any work there or disconnected the battery? Are you thniking in Theft, Immobilizer or Passlock security alarm? Is this occurrs and the keys isn't work, its need to re-programmed, for this need to visit your Honda dealer.

Keep us updated.

You have a failed brake lamp relay,this is located at the back right hand in the trunk at the quater panel.

If you mean to take the tire off the wheel, then, that's a tough job. But it can be done. The best way I can tell you is to watch the videos I've seen on youtube. Go to www.youtube.com Search for "Change a tire" and there will be a lot of videos. Hope this helps.

I do not see it as a problem as such . If the light is on and the compressor is engaged and the a/c is cooling that is how it is supposed to be . IF you press the button and the light goes off and the clutch on the a/c compressor releases and the a/c stops working that is how it should be. Obviously you have a problem but if you can ask the question in a more simply direct way I could give you the answer you require.

Big job. Have to remove timing belt first. Once belt is removed the water pump is then unbolted and replaced with new one. Then timing belt is reinstalled

The only adjustment is free play at the pedal, the clutch release is hydraulic and is self adjusting. If the engagement is getting low on the pedal, it usually means the clutch is wearing out. It is possible that the hydraulics are leaking, inspect the slave, master and hose.
