RE: Carburettors

Finally got round to doing the strip/clean/rebuild. Wasn't as bad as I feared and certainly the old gasket was well past its useful life.

There must be five or six vacuums which all appeared to...

RE: 1997 Civic EX excessive intermittent RPM/engine surges

Mech

I'm investigating something similar, but my theory is that the mixture is too lean following an engine rebuild. My approach is to keep an eye on the condition of the spark plugs and then...

You're going to have to give us some more clues!

How did you get on with your mechanic? Where does the noise come from? Does it depend on load as well as speed?

There are plenty...

Carburettors

Does anyone know which type of carburettors were used on early/mid 90's civics?

Is there a good website that features these with details of jetting/tuning parts?

Thanks

RE: What is it?

Here's a couple of views of the engine.

You can't quite see the engine number but it would be somewhere underneath the radiator top hose.

Presumably the turbo squeezes in down the front?!!...

RE: Timing Belt/Water Pump replace

I'll take a look when I can get the timing belt cover off. I'm presently putting red food colouring in the (tap) water so that I can locate the leak - if its coming out of the pump I...

RE: What is it?

Thanks for the reply. The spark plugs are set back towards the carb rather than the exhaust manifold which faces the radiator.

RE: coolant level...crazy design!

Another question (1994 3 door): if its losing coolant all the time - the radiator takes up to a litre after every run) where are the obvious places to check for leaks?

RE: copression testing

another general tip is to give it full throttle (not running though!) to let the maximum air in.

RE: What is it?

I don't know!

Its been debadged so all I can work on is the age and format.

It has no fuel injection, but I understand that was about the time it was introduced on flasher models.

Surely the point of having a hatchback is so that you can take out the parcel shelf and drop the back seats??? Unless I'm missing something!
