Re: 1999 Honda Civic 1.6L Left Front End noise [speed16]

Written by: speed16 on Nov 22, 2009 06:30 PM

I found the noise. No mechanical problems. A very small rock lodged itself between the muffler heat shield and pipe just under the car on the horizontal run under the engine. It would only show up at low speeds and a certain RPM range. When stopped the noise would stop. My wife had to drive the car and I had to hop out and see where the noise was coming from within 30 seconds ... Read More...

No difference ... Read More...

Honda Civic GX Fueling Problems

Possible safety issue

Written by: danaman on Sep 23, 2009 09:50 AM

Recently my 1999 Civic GX would not start at a filling station after a fill-up. My family was stranded and had to have the car towed. We took it to the dealership only to find out that the part (an internal solenoid in the tank) was shorting out. I feel pretty weary about a short in my natural gas tank. Honda has said they don't feel it important to investigate but I know ... Read More...

Re: CNG cars? [freedml]

Written by: rogerbohl on Mar 03, 2009 09:37 AM

Our 1999 CNG-only Honda has lots of spunk around town. I believe, however, that it has the smaller engine available for the Civic, so is not great at altitude (5000', e.g.) or on steep hills, where is must shift down to "3rd" gear (it is an automatic) to maintain 60 MPH, especially with two folks aboard. It will maintain that (or higher speeds) in 3rd, but I feel like ... Read More...

Mazda3 or Honda Civic?

Written by: vslacks on Jan 25, 2009 11:16 AM

We currently have a 2004 Audi A4 and a 1999 Jetta GLS TDI. We've just recently paid off the Audi and the Jetta is in need of a new clutch, new brakes, and it tends to stall or not start with increasing regularity. So, my wife is going to take the Audi and I'm going to get a new car that will mostly be used for commuting. I'm considering the Mazda3 hatchback Grand Touring ... Read More...

Honda Civic 2005 and earlier

Problem...

Written by: jchan2 on Jan 18, 2009 05:54 PM

I have a 1999 Honda Civic, and I took it to the Honda dealer for an oil change in December (had a $26.95 oil change coupon) where the service advisor told me there was some "seepage" going on in the engine (nothing more specific than that) and that it was nothing to worry about right now, but something to think about "down the road" However, after that, the car has developed ...

Honda Civic Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Why is pricing on new Civics varying so much?

Written by: lithiaman on Jun 24, 2008 07:13 AM

From reading this forum, seems as if some buyers are (still) getting "invoice pricing" on new Civics while others are getting MSRP quotes. Is this a regional phenomenon? Or is it because some dealers have more coming in from the factory than others? Just curious. Also wonder what will occur once the special financing goes away after the 7th of July. Interestingly, ... Read More...
