96 Honda Civic making a popping noise when I release the clutch and third gear
Reasons for popping noise:
Popping noise could occur due to the malfunction in the ignition system, leaky valves, weak cylinder compression, carbon accumulation in the combustion chamber or lean fuel.
1. Ignition system malfunction (Misfire).
Check:
- The ignition timing.
- Spark plug gaps.
- Use colder type spark plugs.
- Ignition module and ignition coil.
- Distributor cap and rotor.
- Spark plug high tension cords.
2. Cylinder compression:
- Check valves clearance.
- Perform cylinder compression test.
3. Fuel system (For lean state).
- Check fuel filter for clogged.
- Check fuel injectors.
- Check fuel pump pressure.
- Check fuel regulator.
How do I get my windows to work window won't go up or down
The car power window operates with a 12 volt motor which turns clockwise or anti clockwise to push up or pull down the glass. Your battery cannot be dead, if it is, you will not be able to start the car because the power to turn the motor comes from this main battery. To isolate the problem, are all the windows not working or just one?. Have the engine running and test each wind at a time. If all are not working, most likely is the fuse for the power windows. If only one window is not working, then it is either the motor is faulty or the cable has snapped. Some cars do not use cable for their front doors, then in this case it will be the motor.
It is adviceable to have your engine running each time you want to wind up your windows as it requires more power. Opening windows require less power. Perform this tests first and get back to me if you still have problem.

The car is an automatic.
When you say the speedometer does not work, do you mean the needle is stuck at certain speed or is at zero all the time.. If it is at zero all the time, replace your meter. If it's stuck at certain speed, give it a knock with your fingers. And if that do not work, drill a pin hole with a fine drill just above the position where the needle is stuck and using a fine thin wire, push the needle back to zero position.
How do i replace alternator belt on 96 honda civic ex
1. Make sure you have a detailed description of the noise is concerned with, including whether the noise is occurring at idle or above idle speed (does it disappear above 1,200 rpm), and if the engine is cold, hot or both when the noise is occurring. These engines generate a lot of "normal" noises 2. Determine what environment is in when the noise is most noticeable to them (inside passenger compartment, next to building with/without the driver and/or passenger window open, or beside the wheel well). Validate by using your own perception. 3. Compare the noise generated with a new vehicle, if available, with an ENGINE build date of 3/30/2005 or later on Mustang and 4/18/2005 or later on F-150 to F-350, Expedition and Navigator vehicles. if the noise is the same, the noise is normal and would be a characteristic of the vehicle. Do not continue with this bulletin. 4. Diagnose noise when engine is at normal operating temperature. Verify oil temperature by using a diagnostic scan tool and monitoring the engine oil temperature. 5. Check the type of oil filter installed on the vehicle. A dirty or clogged filter may cause a pressure drop. Look for aftermarket brands not recognized in the market or a production filter that has gone beyond the standard Ford recommended change interval. 6. Check for signs of oil brand used and viscosity. www.careucar.com
Ignition key will not turn
There seem to be two problems in your case. First thing first. Shift your steering wheel left or right to free the catch so your key will turn. Brake lights, mean the back lights or the red light indicator on your meter for the hand brake? Pease confirm!!
If timing belt is off can it cause a pulsing in the revs
If by "off" you mean that you suspect that the camshaft is out of time with the crankshaft by one tooth the answer is probably no. Most engines won't even run with camshaft timing off by a tooth. Or they will run with extremely rough idle and very low power. And the ignition timing will be almost impossible to adjust.
If by "off" you mean the timing belt is not on the engine, the answer is no. Engine won't start without a timing belt. But you do run a near 100% chance of causing severe engine damage if you attempt to crank the engine without a timing belt.
If by "pulsing in the revs" you mean that the engine seems to be running fairly smoothly but it will rev at normal idle then occassionally rev higher for a second or two, I would suspect your Throttle Position Sensor. This tells the engine what the throttle is doing. If the sensor is erratic the engine's computer will improperly think that the throttle has been depressed. A TPS is not terribly expensive and is very easy to remove and install.
