hi, i own a 1996 honda civic lx. I have a problem, my power window on the passengers side does not roll down . I have taken apart the door panel to get at the wires that connect the switch to the motor and when i push up on the switch i hear and feel the motor work and it rolls the window up if I push down nuthing happens and the window doesnt roll down, then when i switch the wires and push up on the switch it rolls the window down and i i push down nothing happens. can you help me?
I had this problem as well as 33 others I've spoken to online. The main floor harness runs thru the drivers side front fender and plugs into the drivers door. The harness in 1996 civics are an inch or 2 too short so after a few years a few of the 25 thru 27 wires in the plug #C556 either break off or pull out of the plug. Since the drivers door contains the master power window and lock switches and the power mirrors can also be affected it can seem like everyones problems are in different parts of the car but they are all part of the same default. So I went to ebay and purchased a floor harness with full power options and installed it myself. Until my part came in I just went to a junk yard and cut off a good plug then spliced it into my existing floor harness. Hope this helps. It took me 4 months to figure this problem out!!!

My 1996 Honda Civic has issues with volume control. When I turn the volume knob on my stereo system, the volume will either increase, decrease, or stay the same independent of which way I turn the knob.
(ie. Turning the knob clockwise will either increase the volume, decrease the volume, or do nothing)
When the volume works properly or not is also independent of time (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
Does anyone know what the problem is?
This is a known problem with the factory units and no, there is no fix. There is a series of checks you can do, but short of that the only option has been to replace the unit. I have included the graphic for the checks, other than that it is not fixable.

I have a 2000 Honda civic si with an automatic transmission. I have a difficult time moving the gear shifter from park to reverse (vice verse). There is no noise. Driving the car is fine. No slippage at all. The shifter just gets stuck in between park and reverse so have have to push the shifter forcefully. But shifting into any other gear isn't a problem. I don't know how it could be fixed. Thanks.
you need to have the shifting cable lubricated or replaced.

I have a 1996 Civic LX. I just replaced a bad distributor and I need to adjust the idle speed. However, my repair manual has a picture and description that doesn't match my car. I can't find a screw to adjust the idle and I've read that I shouldn't adjust the throttle assembly. Can someone tell me where to find the adjustment on this engine? Do I need to take off the air cleaner to see it?
thanks.
your idle can not be manually adjusted. it is controled by the ecm via the throttle position sensor on the throttle body(tps). you have to have a diagnostic scanner to interface with the ecm to adjust the idle. most service shops have this equipment

My 2001 Lexus LS430 which I recently bought used has a 6 Disk CD Player which worked fine with 5 disks installed. When I tried to install the 6th disk, the CD player rejected it. I tried to put the 6th disk in about 3-4 times, but I didn't try to force it as I knew that could damage it. After about 3-4 times, "CD ERROR" came up on the display screen and the CD player has been completely non-functional since. I had the car for about 2 days with 5 CD's playing fine, and now the CD player doesn't play at all. Everyone tells me that I have to take it back to the Lexus dealer, have the whole CD player removed and sent back to the factory for repair, and then re-installed. They say that this will cost up to $800-$900. Does anyone know of a cheaper way to fix the CD player?
Nope thats what you have to do....they are they only ones that can repair that unit
that is a common problem with those cd players

Where would I find my speed sensor on a 1996 honda civic dx in order to replace it, and how would i replace it.
It is located on the side of the transmission, requires 1 bolt, will notice a power plug which you must unplug wire connector, remove the bolt then the sensor canbe removed from your transmission it will pull out. Before installing your new sensor you may want to rub a little transmission oil on the part of the sensor that goes in transmission there is a o-ring on the part. This will help it go in alot more easier also lubricate you new part. Hopefully this was helpfull the sensor is around $100.00 - $140.00.

Won't start in hot weather and in the afternoons . It clicks over but won't start up .
Most Honda cars have a problem with the fuel pump relay where it works cold but not hot.
You need to know if you are lacking spark to the plugs or fuel pressure when it fails to start. If fuel pressure is the problem, check the relay.

There is a Loud exhaust noise coming from under the drivers side of the car whenever I accelerate from stop. It almost sounds like my exhaust has a leak in it or it popped off or something. It started off as a quiet hum and progressively got louder. The sound goes away though at about 35-40 mph.. What could this be?
When a vibration suddenly starts to happen, it means that something is loosening. Usually it's a panel or a sheet of metal that's vibrating on it's resonant frequency, that's why it goes away with speed, it passed the resonant frequency.
It's very hard to find because you have to be under the car to see it. If you find something you suspect, tighten the screws or put a rubber band on it to test it.

How do i locate the starter on a 2009 honda civic
Underneath the car, almost in the center in the front of the engine. May be tucked in behind some stuff but will have wires running to it.
