2004 Honda Civic CEL, will not idle right.
Background: Original owner replaced engine 25,000 mile ago (through firstone).Our daughter purchased from owner 2 months ago, started overheating, diagnoised and replaced head gasket (thank you all).
All fine for next 200 miles. Now: car will idle normal 4-5 sec, can hear click and CEL comes on, engine starts to die, comes back normal after second, idles normal, this repeats 8-10 times, then CEL light stays on, tac goes to 0, car will not go more than 40-45 mph. Alternator produces 14.5 volts on battery, however dashboard indictor light comes on and stays on. Fuses have been checked. I have been reading questions and answers, but have failed to find answer. Also, hubby has not found the Main relay on this car? Thanks so much, |

. Check for codes--this will be the key. . Replace spark plugs (NGK only). . Check under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cars-t...tml#post252145 Don't remove and look at fuses. . Check idle speed, if the alternator light comes on. I don't think your Civic has a main relay. |

Hello, As the weather turns cold, my car will sometimes idle very sporadically - as if someone is pushing on the gas for 1 second, letting off, and then pushing again. Any thoughts?
I just purchased a 2004 Honda Civic. I left the interior lights on over night and in the morning my car would initially not start. After a few tries I got my car to crank but now on the dashboard there is a light on. It's a green key that flashes whenever I'm driving. What is the flashing "key"...
91 Honda Civic, 1.5l, remains at high idle, 1000-1500 until manually turning off by depressing pedal. Once engine rev'ed over about 1500 does it again. Will not return to low idle on it's own. Does not surge like vac hose off. No engine code. If I disconnect the temp sensor at bottom of radiator...
