Here's the website he got it from. www.reliable-store.com

SOURCE: Theft of 2004 Honda Civic

since the ignition key cylinder wasn't damaged, i can think of a few possible sernarios.

- a tow/repo truck was used

- if you bought the car used, the previous owner had a copy of the key and used it to gain access and start the car.

- if you have taken the car to a honda dealership for service/repairs, someone at the dealership may have encoded (the transponder on) a duplicate key. they would also have no problem looking up your address.

SOURCE: 2004 Honda Civic -Code P0122 Throttle Position Sensor Voltage Low

yes, this is the case of a failed throttle body, in which case it needs replaced, the car is getting too much fuel causing the high idle. this needs replaced asap. you could proably find a small independant honda shop that could do the work for less.

SOURCE: 1999 honda accord dashboard indicator lights on all the time

One of the door light switches may be bad or not making proper contact. here is what you do close all doors and then open one at a time and manually press the switch in the door way all the way in and see which one takes the light out. Then by padding the surface where the switch make contact with door it will work. this can be done by using some heavy duty glue and a piece of plastic of some other type of material will be fine. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA.

Intervals between timing belt changes Honda Civic 1.4s 2008 thanks

The info I have seen is about 150,000 mi.
But it is really dependent on the wear on the belts is in certain different climates.
The belts can break at any time. 150,000 is just a rough estimate.

Some engines will be damaged if the belt is broken, like Hondas, others will not, like my old Pinto.
So it's a gamble, we all have to guess and hope it's accurate.

So I would say "ask your Honda dealer."

Hope this helps.

1998 Honda Civic relearn idle

Just drive the car as you normally would and the CPU will automaticly relearn your driving habits and be fine. It may stall the first few miles till it learns you want it to continue to drive it. Just avoid heavy traffic areas the first few miles. I hope this helps you out.

2002 honda civic LX oil change

A synthetic is good if you don't mind going 15 to 20,000 miles between changes. If you're one of the compulsives that change oil every 3000 or 5000 miles, don't bother with synthetics, because they're expensive. You probly need a thinner grade of oil, tho, like a 5-20. Thinner grades will help your gas mileage, but check your manual.

1991 honda civic si starting problem

have you check the ground wire from your negative wire to battery post? check to see the battery is strong. if it doesn't turn over the engine or crank the engine mean no good ground to the cables. if the car ran fine I dont understand why the car wont crank or turn the motor over it just quit. if the battery check out strong 12 V, starter serenoid may be faulty on your starter or it may be hot and will not turn starter over.

Starting problems

if this problem persists then you could check a few things on it, like on the times when its not even making a noise when trying to turn the key, use rubber/wooden object and tap the starter motor but not touching the contacts on the back. if this amkes it spring into life then it will be your starter motor if this does nothing then it will be a dodgy battery supply. does it also make like a screaching noise while trying to start? if so then definitely your starter motor
