Q: How can i install lower balljoint on a 1995 honda civic with out a press?
hi i need to change the front lower ball joint on a 1995 honda civic. i dont have the press to put the new one in. is there any other way i can install the lower ball joint with out the press tool.

A: Please take it from me. You need to borrow a ball joint removal tool kit from Auto Zone after you've popped the ball joint loose from the lower A-arm. Auto Zone has a tool to pop the ball joint loose. A "pitman" arm removal tool will release the taper of the ball-joint from the A-arm.

Q: 1995 honda civic speedometer and the odometer is dead do i need new cluster?
I have a 1995 civic ex and the speedometer and the odometer does not work at all. Although my RPM/gas/temperature gauge still works. I get a check engine light after i decelerate from around 3000 rpm to 2000 rpm I did a test with the paperclip and got a code of 17(VSS). Could that be the cause or do i need a whole new cluster?

A: Hi there ! That is a very common problem to Honda Civics and Accords!. I have seen what you are describing many , many times. The speedometer will not work or be erratic or get stuck! More than likely the Speedometer has gone bad but the Speed Sensor could also be bad! When the Speed Sensor is Bad: you will get a Check Engine Light in the Dash.So it sounds like your VSS is bad. Here is how it works. The speedometer is run electrically.(i do not mean digital!) So there is nothing to grease in the Speedometer System as everything is electronic components.That means there is No Cable Running the Speedometer To Break!! First you need to check for a proper signal from the Speed Sensor.To measure the signal you need to hook and auto meter to the wire and check for AC VOLTAGE. It will be small and goes up and down with the speed of the vehicle. A good square wave on a scope. If there is no signal then you must replace speed sensor.If not then move on to the Speedometer. The main Integrated Chip on the speedometers circuit board has probably gone bad.This causes erratic or no operation of the speedometer/odometer. There is no way to repair the problem.You must get a new or used speedometer ! ! My local pick n pull junkyard will sell me a speedometer for $20.00 for that vehicle in San Jose California.(the dealership wants $280.00 brand new.) i hope that helps. Good Luck!

Q: What engine can i put in a 1995 Honda Civic?
I have a 1995 Honda Civic Lx with a 1.5 l engine. The 6th number in the vin is 8. I have found a donor vehicle with the 1.5l and the 6th digit in the vin is 2. Will i be able to swap the engines?

A: To answer your question, there are many different honda engines to chose from when doing a swap. B16A, B18C, GS-R B18C, K20, D16Y8, D15B, H22A, ZC and many more. It depends on what engine your want in your civic. Do reserch on honda engines and find the engine that would be in your best interest to do a swap. I would reccomend a B16A swap, because its the most common Honda swap.A swap that should never be forgotten is the "Hydra" swap a D15A1/D15A3 block with a D16A1 sohc vtec head.

Q: Does a 1995 Honda Civic LX have a headlight beeper?
I had a 87 accord lx, and when I left my headlights on after turning the car off a chime or beeping noise would play. Does the 1995 honda civic lxs have this feature?

A: Nope, it doesn't have one. I have '94 CX, and left my lights on one too many times, so I made my own. You just go to a store like radioshack and buy what's called a Piezo buzzer. The one I got from Radioshack has the part number of 273-059, it cost under $4. Then you just hook up the Red wire to the 10A Instrument Lights/Taillights/Parking Lights fuse, and the Black wire to the 20A Wiper/Washer System, Moonroof Relays fuse.

Q: Moving to snowy area w/ 1995 Honda Civic DX. Is this a good idea? What should I be equipped with?
I am moving to South Lake Tahoe and have the option of bringing my 1995 Honda Civic DX. Is it possible to suit it up with snow tires and be able to drive around? This place get on average over 400" of snow. Can anyone give any tips or suggestions? Thank you!

A: snow tires are a good ideal, however, you will need a set of snow chains, tool's , a window scraper , and don't forget to ALWAYS keep food in the car in case your stuck. I grew up in West Virgina and don't know much about Tahoe so I don't know if this will help. If it were me I'd go to yahoo and look up Tahoe or maybe find someone who lives there in yahoo chat for more info. Good Luck

Q: My two door 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback dash is not working?
I have recently purchased a 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback, and my nothing in my dash is work at the moment. I was wondering what it may be, and a way around to fixing it, thank you.

A: Sounds like a blown fuse or relay. Possibly the battery is dead. Low current, you probably need a voltmeter for this one Short circuit look for frayed cut wires. Check to see if its not going back to ground cut ground wire pick up a Chilton's manual if these suggestions don't work.

Q: radiator cap worn out. does it affect the idle on my 1995 honda civic ferio 1500cc engine?
radiator cap worn out. does it affect the idle on my 1995 honda civic ferio 1500cc engine? coz it's loping. help?

A: By loping do you mean like a bouncing idle? If the idle is bouncing AFTER the car has warmed up, you more than likely need to clean your Idle Air Control Valve (I.A.C.V.) Here's how to clean it: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1575913 If the idle is bouncing BEFORE the car warms up to operating temperature, then need to clean your Fast Idle Thermo Valve (F.I.T.V.) Here's the guide for that one: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1564019 More than likely the idle issue is your I.A.C.V., they tend to get dirty over time and the air flow gets blocked. Usually if any idle issue is caused by the coolant system it's because the car is overheating, which can be caused by a bad radiator cap so it wouldn't hurt to get a new one. If cleaning those doesn't work then you need to begin looking for a vacuum leak or an ignition/fuel problem.

Q: Where can i buy a replacment Manual door latch for 1995 Honda Civic?
I have a 95 Honda civic Dx Coupe and need a new door latch for Drivers side door?

A: If you are talking about the part you actually pull on to open the door, the dealer is your best bet. I think they are about $30. They are pretty easy to change.

Q: What causes a 1995 Honda Civic automatic to stall when put in gear?
The car runs fine when idling. When I put it in drive or reverse, the car stalls. The only way it will not stall is when I raise the rpms and hold the gas, then put in gear. If i brake at any time without holding the gas, the car will stall. Like i said, otherwise it seems to be running fine. What seems to be the problem?

A: Idle air valve,not responding when car under load.

Q: 1995 honda civic ex started smoking and wont start helllp?


A: Depends on the type of smoke. If it was white smoke then you may have a blown head gasket and the cylinders are taking on water (coolant) making it difficult to start. If the smoke is dark / blue then the engine is burning oil and requires major work. If you can give some more details I may be able to help more.
