ok. so if anyone on here can help me PLEASE. IM NOT THAT GOOD WITH CARS. i was given a 94 del sol and it has a small oil leak somewhere. not the main issue. main ones are it spits black smoke and black water when i rev it and it idles rough. has been idling rough for a while but just now started with the smoke and liquid. also my mpg seems to be 3-4 lower than it used to be. ANY ideas would be REALLY helpful.

welcome to the forum. do a compression check, check your radiator to see if the water is going down, are all the spark plugs burning correctly, are the spark plug wires in good condition, when was your last tune up.

Default 2002 honda civic ex tranny slip!!!!HELP

My name is brice and my sister in law recently bought a 2002 honda civic ex. The problem we are having is that the transmission is starting to slip and slowly but steadily is getting worse. The slipping occurs from 1st to 2nd then also from 2nd to 3rd. shifts fine in 3rd-4th-5th. tried taking off in low gear and switching into drive and overdrive and still it slips. But seems as though once the car is driven for a while (like 20-30 miles continuously) it doesnt slip as bad or at all. I have heard that the pcu, torque converter, could be going. I am wondering if first should try half flush with stops slip being added after filling back up.....Is there any thing else i can troubleshoot to narrow it down? does the tranny filter require transmission removel?

Default New 2011 Civic... where to ask about pricing?

Hi. I'm a newly licensed driver and I came to this forum looking for pricing help. However, it looks like this forum is mostly a tech forum. Is there a thread where I can ask about pricing?

to be honest just about any motor CAN work in your car. its just depends on how much time and money your willing to spend. I am a fan of the F22 engine i have one in my civic right now. trust me when i say this V-tec isnt all its cracked up to be yes it may give you a boost in the top end but when are you ever going to bring your car over 5k? (dumb question) anyways aside from my rantine (i hate vtec motors, yet i have one) but if you want to go Vtec without breaking your wallet you can find a F22B1 head and throw her on your car.. vtec swaps arent to bad to do if all you have to do is get the head
