It's the "Matrix" beware of it's wrath!

Oh no they are not working on it! They want $1600.00 for the install and that doesn't include tax, timing belt, or water pump. I will be doing the work in my garage.

OK TxGreaseMonkey I took it to the garage down the street. It has a burnt valve (they believe it to be a exhaust valve) I want to replace the cylinder head. Is there any tips you can provide me in...

I never checked the compression, just thought it might be bad in cylinder 4 because it does not fire and the plug is wet.

All the plugs are new. I installed new cap, rotor, coil, wires, fuel filter, PCV valve, and plugs about 2 weeks ago. I am going to try NGK plugs and try a compression test.

1996 Civic cylinder 4 misfire. All other cylinders are working fine. Cylinder 4 spark plug has a little oil on it and smells like gas. I pulled it out and put it on the valve cover and it is...

1996 Honda Civic 1.6L I have installed new cap,rotor,coil,plugs,wires, and dielectric grease. It runs OK but it seems like its lacking power, so while the motor was running I pulled 1 plug wire at a...

OK apparently from what I've been reading on the D16Y7 motor you change it from under the car. It's located right above the oil filter, and sometimes you have to remove oil filter to get to it.

I've looked there and looked there. Could it be someone removed it and never put one back on?

The speedometer was broken when I bought the car, so I know that wasn't from the water. I'll give the dieelectric grease a try and a new fuel filter. Who knows if it's ever been replaced. You know...

OK I adjusted the idle screw, it seems to be good now. The check engine light is on. I took it to autozone and had it tested and (4) codes came up. 1) have a #2 missfire... 2) have a #4...

And by bought I mean traded my 97 Pontiac Trans Sport with 148K that's impossible to do any engine work on. So far I think it's a good trade/purchase.

OK I have found that the battery light goes off when I hit the gas. Take my foot off the gas it comes back on. (this is in neutral)

Haha yeah yeah clean freak I am, I just bought this car for a spare. You should have seen this engine, the 10 min. oil change place the previous owner took it to forgot to put the oil cap back on...

Pulled the 7.5 backup fuse the check engine light is off and running smooth now. However the battery light comes on after it runs for about 3-4 minutes and stays on. Does this mean the altenator...

OK I will do that! Thanks again!

Haha this time I am! No more pressure washing the engine compartment. I'll try the OBD II on Monday that's enough work for today. Thanks for all your help!! :)

OK I went to the parts store and put all the new parts on. They did not have the ICM so I just got the coil. It starts up better than it ever has. Now the Check engine light blinks! Haha but it...

Yes the check engine light goes off. I hope it's the coil! These ignition parts aren't cheap lol Any other sugestions before I run up to the parts store.

And if the check engine light does not go off after 2 seconds on position II? Main relay? Or Computer?

I installed new plugs, wires, and cap. I cleaned the sensor on the air box and the airbox itself. New air filter was installed too. I pulled a plug out and put it back in the wire and rested it on...

TxGreaseMonkey - The car had a little bit of a rough idle before I took it and cleaned the motor off. But it started up just fine. So what would cause the rough idle? Maybe whatever it was I...

I have a 1996 Honda Civic LX standard 1.6L 4cyl 5 speed 108K. It was starting fine, I then took it to the car wash to degrease the engine compartment. After spraying it down the car started and ran...
