If you switch from top, to front, to bottom of the vents. The the mode door motor is bad. Sorry i can't tell you exactly where it is. But they are usually at the center console under the dash on either side of the console.

You must remove the radio and have it repaired by an authorized factory repair center.

conect with carman diagnostics device and erase

try to cheak the wires on the fuel pump

all remotes. yes?, try new battery in remote. always have at least 2 remotes.

On the RSX I'd check the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) It's on the bottom of the throttle body and if stuck open can cause this. Also, make sure to check all sensors under the hood are in and tight. If it's none of those may want to look at the fuel pump.

Make sure the cable clamps or bolts are clean and tight on the batt. Dirt will interfere and cause batt to act like it is low on power.

misfire in all 4 cyclinders hmmm...... compression tester check compression 125psi is good 100 and lower is bad (head gasket they go bad) if that is good, do fuel filter,, or charge system is bad, or bad ground or bad coil

If its a hydrulic cluch there will be a bleeder screw on the trans. follow the line from the resevor on the firewall to the trans. however I belive this car has a manul cluch that just uses a cable.I just noticed you cant find slave. now I know its a cable, push the cluch in and out and if u see anything moving near the trans its cable operated.

Try replacing the VTEC solenoid and sensors. about 100 from Acura or Honda dealership for entire piece.

Could be the starter motor.

If the slave cylinder has been replaced twice why did you do the master cylinder?If anything it behind the master at the clutch pedal, for the sake of trouble replace the line

In park a pin should slide and lock the final gear, blocking the output shaft and the wheels.
Since that doesn't happens it means that the mechanism that transmits the lever commands to the elements of the transmission is faulty. To diagnose it more precisely you must lift the car and inspect the lever and its attachment points for damage; if you don't see any then the damage is internal and for that the entire transmission will have to be dismantled - a job for a repair shop specialized in transmissions.

P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
This code means that the heated circuit in the oxygen sensor on bank 1 decreases time needed to enter closed loop. As the O2 heater reaches operating temperature, the oxygen sensor responds by switching according to oxygen content of the exhaust surrounding it. The ECM tracks how long it takes for the oxygen sensor to begin switching. It the ECM determines (based on coolant temp) that too much time elapsed before the oxygen sensor began operating properly, it will set P0141. See also: P0135 (Bank 1, Sensor 1).

Symptoms
You will likely notice poor fuel economy the illumination of the Check Engine Light.

Causes: A code P0141 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* open or short to ground in the wiring harness
* O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance
* O2 heater element resistance is high
* Internal short or open in the heater element

Note: Typically a failed catalytic converter does not cause this code. You're more likely to see a P0420 code for a failed converter.

Possible Solutions
* Replace oxygen sensor (cannot repair open or short that occurs internally to sensor)
* Repair short or open or high resistance in wiring harness or harness connectors

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

I take it that you mean, "with the engine running, the heater output goes cool at idle speeds". If so, then check your coolant level urgently. This must be done when the engine has been turned off for at least two hours.

If you mean that the heater gets cool when the engine is turned off, then it's not only totally normal but would solve the world energy crisis if it stayed hot with the engine off.

Is it a clicking sound or is it turning over like normal and won't start? If it clicks, it may be your starter. If not, it could be many things. You should try to get your car tested for codes. This will narrow your search. If you can't, start checking for fuel. Check your fuel pumps, filter, fuses, and relay switches. You can always spray engine starter in the intake. If it starts and dies, you have a fuel problem. If fuel is not an issue, it could be in the ignition system. The codes will really help you. You can usually find them at Autozone. The tester is around $50. It will save you time and money. You will need to know the codes on your car though. Buy a Haynes Book for your car. Hope this helps.

You will find the Fuse Box either under the hood or under the dash on the driver's side.
