Check your speedometer cable. Under the hood it should be a cable coming out of the dash and connect near your transmission.

Hi Patti, it sounds like you have a either a faulty fuel pump or contaminated fuel. You need to get the fuel pressure and quality checked.

most common fault,have you bled ALL the air out of the water system?????

No such thing. There are no "new" transmissions available for it. Even at the dealership, the units you buy are rebuilt. However, most dealerships will give a 3 year/100k warranty. Hold onto your wallet though! Honda trannys are very expensive.

on any car always check ur fuses first... and ifthat does't work then check your distributor by taking out a spark plug from only one cylnder and put it in the plug and lay it on the block. then turn your key as if to crank it and c if ur getting a spark from the spark plug. if u aren't, then its either the distributor cap, a worn rotory button inside the distributor cap or it could be the moduel inside the distributor which would then mean youll have to replace the whole distributor

Firing Order is: 1-3-4-2

Time to look why, possible egr, o2 sensor, maf, iat, iac, tps, to name a few, easiest to get the car scanned

As with any suspension part you do both sides. Find the part on ebay or advance or autozone, if you get used from a junkyard you may well be getting another strut which is already beat to hell. With a car that old you may want to spring for a "quick strut" which has a new coil spring and upper strut mount which usually are also shot. Installation requires special tools and knowledge and an alignment afterward. You can save yourself some money by acquiring the parts and paying a shop to install them for you. Be prepared to find out at the alignment stage that ball joints and tie road ends are at the end of their service life also.

could be a breaker problem look inside your fuse panel you should see some big black plugs those are your breakers find right one off the diagram on cover and replace

really simple. it is located top of transmission with one small bolt holding it in connected to a small electrical connector. Remove sensor plug, then remove bolt wiggle out. Place new sensor in replace bolt and plug. All done

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and the starter motor cable at the positive terminal.
2. Remove the engine wire harness from the harness clip on the starter motor
3. Disconnect the cable from the B terminal on the solenoid, and the BLK/WHT wire from the S terminal.
4. Remove the starter motor by loosening the two attaching bolts.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedures: re-position the starter in place, replace bolts, tighten the starter-to-engine bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
6. Make sure that all wires are securely connected.

Pull a spark plug and see if you are getting spark if not it is probably your coil pack on the distributor. Common prob with civics.

It bolts to the end of the fuel rail and should have a vacuum hose connected to it.

Take your car to a specialist and have them check your system for leaks ot other problems. They can then recharge the system if everything checks our. The old Freon leaked out for a reason. If you don;t fix the problem, anything new you put in will just leak out again within a few months or perhaps weeks. Additionally, they've switched from R12 to R134 and your vehicle might need to be converted to handle R134.

Replace all the springs.

stock engine for that car is a 1.4 in line 4 cylinder with efi.

IDEL AIR CONTROOL

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM BY FAR IS THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE.

Really not a hard job but a couple stumbling blocks. The crank pulley, which has to come off, is held on by a single bolt that is really hard to get off. You'll need to have an impact wrench for sure. It's kind of a pain dealing with the power steering bracket, it has to come off, and it's a good idea to replace the water pump while you're in there.
Hope this helps,
