Bleeding 93 Honda Civic Dx Coupe

2011 Honda Civic EX Coupe is making a gurgling/rattling noise when accelerating only?

I own a 2011 Honda Civic EX Coupe with only about 30,000 miles, well maintained and regular maintenance. For about a year, the car has been making a weird gurgling/rattling noise ONLY when accelerating. As soon as I take my foot off the pedal, it stops. Also it seems to only do it when I'm on D-drive. In the morning, I go up some pretty steep hills, and on Drive it takes the loud sounds, but when I lower my gear to D3, going at the same speed limit, it doesn't make the noise. It doesn't happen when I'm turning or braking. Only when accelerating. I have complained to the shop for months but they say they do not see what is causing it. Can anyone help? Also I only use 93 octane gas.

98 Honda Civic EX Clutch Fluid Bleed?

In my experience it requires the old-fashioned method, using a helper. It is a lot less messy if you have a plastic hose (aquarium hose will work) and a bottle to catch the fluid; you also need a new (unopened) bottle of brake fluid.

Loosen the bleeder nipple on the slave cylinder (on the bell housing - follow the hose down from the clutch master cylinder if you haven't found it yet) and slightly re-tighten it. Put the hose - if you have one - on the nipple and have your helper in position in the driver's seat. Open the nipple 1/2 turn and call out "down" - your helper's cue to press the clutch pedal so it goes down in about 2 seconds but not mash it into the floor. Tighten the nipple gently and call out "up" - the helper's cue to release the pedal so it comes up in a second or so. Smooth movements are best. Repeat this two more times and then refill the reservoir. You may find you can do more presses in a single filling but don't take chances - if the reservoir goes dry you have to bleed it all over again. After a dozen or so presses, tighten the nipple firmly and check the clutch feel. Fill the reservoir when you are done, cinch the nipple down firmly and dispose of the old fluid. Auto parts stores often accept it for recycle. Do not mix it with oil for recycling... it is not an oil. If you can fill a flower pot with dirt you can pour the fluid into the dirt - it is a carbohydrate (a glycol, like antifreeze) that is poisonous to us but soil bacteria digest it within a couple weeks. Or you can burn it in an oil lamp....

All that said, it is rare for bubbles to get into a clutch line if the line was not disturbed.

Still have 94 civic ex idle rev issue.?

The most common cause of idle hunting in Hondas of that vintage is a bubble in the coolant driving the FITV crazy. There is a bleed nipple on the upper radiator hose housing where it connects to the engine - open that 1/2 turn when the engine is cold and close it when a steady stream of coolant comes out.

If you cover all the normal causes and it still revs, especially if it revs above 2000 rpm on the upswing, the intake manifold gasket is your next suspect. It is made of paper and is brittle as dry leaves by now. When I changed the IMG on my 1993 Accord it was broken into about half a dozen pieces. Checking for leaks is not as easy as on many cars (it will not respond to spraying carburetor cleaner on the gasket) but you can do it. Remove the intake duct from the air cleaner, prop the throttle open, plug the breather in the duct if it has one, place the duct to your face and blow. There should be little leakage. If you are able to exhale into the intake the gasket is probably leaking. A helper will be able to hear and feel the leak when you do that. Most of the leaks seem to be on the underside. (Now wipe that silly black ring off your face!)

How do i refill my A/C for my 2005 Honda Accord LX 2.4? What do I need to buy and how much?

Go to the parts store and get a repair manual and a can of leak tracer.Now read the manual and it will tell you where and how to add your tracer where ever it is leaking it will show up red you cant miss it. Now it will tell you how what kind of oil to add there are 2 different kinds such as mineral oil and pag oil and it does make a difference which one you use. It will also tell you how much R134 to add most take about a pound some take less some take a little more like the car I have it takes a pound and a half but you get the picture. Just read your manual and it will tell you what you need to know if it looks like to much for you to handle yourself take it to a mechanic

What type of brake fluid do I use on a 1999 Honda Accord LX?

Honda brake fluid is standard DOT 3 brake fluid. However, my philosophy is that I never "top up" brake fluid. A low fluid level is a good indication the brakes should be inspected. In particular, the front brakes are probably pretty worn. You definitely want to catch that before the metal hits the metal. When I am done servicing the brakes I put in fresh brake fluid to the "full" line. A few things about power steering fluid - it will damage paint so spills should be washed off with water immediately; it will spontaneously combust if rags wet with brake fluid are tossed into a pile; and it loves water so much that even a tightly re-closed can will absorb water. It is biodegradable and can be poured on dirt without harming groundwater (does not apply to DOT 4 fluid).

Go on feeling like such a girl and asking questions that can save you a lot of heartache. Although the brake fluid is standard, using ordinary power steering fluid in your Honda can ruin the seals in the power steering. Use only Honda or "compatible with Honda" power steering fluid. The plastic caps for each should tell you what to use.

What does it mean when my E-brake light stays on in my 95 Civic?

My emergency brake light (not ABS) came on yesterday at random and didn't turn off until late in the day. Today it randomly turned on again and won't turn off. I'm positive the handle is all the way down and it doesn't make noise, doesn't have trouble accelerating, isn't guzzling gas. It seems like nothing is wrong at all. Does this mean there is something else I need to have checked?
