anybody? still gotta figure this stuff out...

 

I would be highly picky about the wrong fluid. A blown steering rack is a lot harder to deal with than a few minutes longer to get the correct fluid. But yes, there is a difference between normal PS fluid and Honda PS fluid.

Have you checked all the ports for any clogging? I would remove that FITV and IACV and check to make sure that air is getting to the manifold unobstructed. If everything is clear, double check the IACV and then you probably need a new FITV.

Here is the testing procedure right out of the Helms manual for the FITV:

1. Remove the intake duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the Engine.
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body and make sure that there is air flow with the engine cold (ECT under 86 degrees F).

If not, replace the FITV and retest.

 

there's a link to the helms at the bottom of the integra FAQ. check it out

 

How do I change the Distributor cap on my 95 teg?? anything tricky that I should know??

 

leave the wires on when you remove the cap. pretty straight-forward. switch the wires onto the new cap, then re-install. i like doing it this way so i don't have to worry about mixing up the wires.

 

The code for the CEL in my 2000 GSR coudln't be read by the DIY trick or the computer at the dealership - turned out my OBD died and needed to be replaced (under warrenty). That may be your case as well.

 

brake fluid flush


99 integra gsr
what needs to be done?
what kind of brake fluid do i use?

step-by-step instructions would really be helpful!

thank you

 

go to autozone and buy a vacuum bleeder for $30. just bleed each caliper until you have clear fluid coming out, starting with the farthest one out (right rear) and working your way closer. do a search for more detailed info. pretty easy. search for "bleed brakes"

 

I just got an 87 Integra and it needs bumpers, front and rear and fenders on both right and left. I'm having trouble finding them and the ones I did find are so expensive I could buy another car for the prices. Are any of these parts interchangeable with other models that might be more common?

 

86-89 integra... check junkyards...or check your local tow-yards. sometimes people abandon cars and the yards sell the cars for nothing...you might be able to score an entire parts car.
