1996 Honda Civic Engine cooling Problems

“My engine starts to overheat while idling for periods longer than a few minutes, especially when it's hot out. Using the A/C tremendously speeds up the overheating process. Turning on the heater cools it down back to normal. I have checked the fluids and performed a radiator flush, as well as checking belts and the fan.”

“The computer control issue is unresolved. The factory default settings for the air conditioning were lost after a battery exchange. Expensive charges for hourly fishing expeditions have not appealed to me. The air conditioner works it just doesn't apply to the appropriate buttons on the control panel they settings are off line. Honda was no help to me. Today, my ignition coil went. Honda said it was not covered via factory service bulletin although the accord was.”

“With only 32,808 miles on my vehicle, I am replacing both the front and the rear oxygen sensors. This repair carries a price tag of over $500. I am out of warranty as the vehicle was purchased in april of 1996. There was a recall on the emissions system, but when I responded to the recall and visited the Honda dealer in my area, I was told to bring it back between the mileage range of 50,000 to 75,000 miles.”

“My car has a new timing belt, a new ignition control module ignitor new plugs, and fuel is getting to the engine and fire is going to plugs but my car still will not start. Is it possible that there is a sensor that will will cause the car not to start.? I have just become aware of the throttle problem and it was a recall but I did not receive notice. Is this the problem? At the botttom pulley of the timing belt there is a sensor, will that cause my car not to start. …”

“I was driving and the auto just stopped. This was fixed and less then 2 years later the same thing happen I was driving and the enjine stopped. The same thing has been replaced twice. I find it unusual that they are willing to fix this under another recall for emission warranty , when I submitted to be reinbursed it was denied. The first time the mechanic said that the coils and inginition looked as if it had caught on fire. I am getting concerned over this and the future of this ignitions.”
