HONDA CIVIC SURGING IN OVERDRIVE

PURCHASE HONDA WITH A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. BEFORE REPLACING HEAD GASKET, WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 55-60 MPH, THE CAR WOULD SURGE (IN OVERDRIVE) A LITTLE BIT. I THOUGHT IT JUST NEEDED DRIVING, SINCE IT SAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN AFTER REPLACING HEAD GASKET, WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR, ETC. THE CAR CONTINUES WITH SURGING AFTER IT GOES IN OVERDRIVE, IT ALSO GIVES A KNOCK SENSOR ERROR, REPLACED KNOCK SENSOR, DID NOT HELP. CANNOT GET RID OF ERROR. REPLACE ICU/ECU, DID NOT HELP, HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

SOURCE: Replacing head gasket on 1995 honda civic, require torque specs and secquence

wow. a lot of bad information on this site. Refer to a manual for the proper torque sequence. The civic I believe is a two step torque procedure. First 22 ft lbs, than 53 ft lbs.

SOURCE: 1994 Honda Civic LX\overheating within 2 mile drive

Remove and raise upper hose at thermostat end and remove lower rad hose.
Fill rad with a hose and watch for flow from bottom rad hose and/ or bottom rad hose connecton.......water should fall though rad easily.
Honda rads are cheap.....any restriction....replace rad.

Remove thermostat....fill thermostat housing with hose and watch for water flow at bottom rad hose.
Flush good.

Remove heater hoses.......flush back and forth until a good flow is present "With heater control set to hot" if no or poor flow....replace heater core.

Stop leak can plug everything.

Also.......not likely causing over heating....but ....at your mileage,if you do not know if the timing belt has been changed.....CHANGE IT NOW!
Water pump is optional at this mileage.

SOURCE: 1991 Honda Civic 1500 idles irregularly, with check engine light.

I think I would suspect the fuel injectors, especially since that is the code you are getting. Fuel injectors clog up, get dirty, stop working the way they should. They can be cleaned (you can remove them and send them to a company that cleans them and makes them like new, or, they can be cleaned in the car by some garages, or, you can get a can of Sea Foam spray and spray it into your throttle housing several times to try to do some cleaning that way, or, you can dump a can of Sea Foam (non-spray) into your gas tank and run it with the fuel through your injectors). You should probably check when you first start the car to see if you are getting any leakage from one or another injector (one or another may look moist or wet if the seals are leaking). You can also do the long screwdriver test (hold the bit of the screwdriver against each injector in turn and listen with your ear against the other end to see if each is clicking regularly). I would try the Sea Foam first.
I hope this is helpful in getting you started on a fix.

2002 Honda Civic EX 1.7. Most common issue with it.

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.

1998 hona civic ran hot, leaking hose, replace, now car runs rough when first driving it,could it be a blown head gasket

look for coolant in your oil ,the oil will look ''milky'' if there is coolant mixed in it. if you have milky oil then you have a blown head gasket. if thats not the case then we have to look elsewhere. hope this helps

Dear Sir, My honda Civic 2003, is getting hot while driving. once its heat gage shows full heat. now its radiator coolent water level is getting low every day, so i'm pauring watter every day now. could...

It's likely that a head gasket is blown, causing fluid to go out of the exhaust pipe especially if you see none on the ground. You might smell a 'sweet' antifreeze/water smell out of the pipe at idle.

Why is my transmission slipping and lights pulsating?

It is hard to say without inspecting it. But a slipping transmission is not good. You could try to tune it by replacing the pan gasket, filter and fluid but my guess is your tranny is about t go. I would not recommend driving it anywhere out of your area.
Your lights surging sounds like your alternator.

2003 honda civic you drive on the street with D or

Drive the vehicle in "D". The D selection is the overdrive. You can consider the overdrive as a fourth gear. The D3 is simply third gear, and if driven in D3, the transmission will never shift into overdrive when needed.
