Eliot, I'm glad you posted this.. I noticed the surging started this week on my 00 insight. Also, after having gone through some grass, there is a clunking...
Mike: I am not sure if you also saw the post where I described in a little detail how to fix the surging problem. When I talked to them about it at Honda they...
oh yes.. i saw the step by step how to.. i think that'll be what i do today.. :) fix fix fix... clean clean clean.. thanks again for your enlightenment.. mike...
Hmmm...I tried this, and didn't notice any significant carbon buildup in the valve. The surging is still there. Are we talking at very light load high vacuum...
Greg the deposits were very very insignificant on my car. They don't have to be significant. If you look at the little valve on the bottom of the unit, and...
Eliot, ditto.. my car is 71,000 and out of warrenty. My surges are exactly as you both described. Tomorrow for sure, i will fix my car.. ... happening even...
ok, i just did the duty.. sprayed and scraped.. now i'm on my way to honda to replace the $7 gasket.. which i recommend doing, even if the old gasket looks...
My car has about 27k miles and after it warms up the steering column (or electric power steering) seems to be making a noise when I turn the steering wheel at...
We had a similar problem with our 2000 Insight. The dealer told us the steering rack needed to be replaced. I was somewhat skeptical about this because I was...
Same thing happened with my 2000 insight. No problem since than. Jack 2000 409 115k ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved...
Hi-- Lost the last message (hit "post" instead of "send") so I'll just give the skinny and get back later. New package obviously imitates the Civic 5 speed...
Shoot. My '00 Insight has been doing it for about 3 months, I figured it was a worn part in teh column, so ignored it (It is very faint). Does anyone know...
I think auto stop is designed for stop lights and longer stops instead of stop signs and stop and go traffic. My civic hybrid starts up very quickly and is no...
I would believe you should never override the autostop. Just go with the flow. But if your engine is not warm, so that autostop will not work, and you are are...
Wow, perhaps I should look forward to a new pack someday. Have fun, RIck ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want -...
... My '00 Insight does it every year on the first really hot day! It goes awqay after a day or two! I assume it is due to vinyl expansion from the heat!...
If like me, you can't get enough of the new Accord Hybrid, Honda has added it to their main web site with some nifty little slide shows (mostly generic) and...
Ok, new technology, blah blah blah, very comfortable, blah blah blah. Go honda. Honda doesn't even know what kind of fuel economy it's going to get or how much...
Greg, I have the same problem. I tried cleaning the valve, and it didn't change a thing. I only have about 40,000 miles on my car, and there was really no...
What is with all you haters? ... I totally disagree with you on that. My Insight gets BETTER mileage than the EPA estimates. The Civic Hybrid that I test...
One of my co-workers was looking to buy a new Insight but said none of the local dealers had any. Does anyone know of a Dealer in the San Gabriel/San...
... The September, 2004, American Honda sales report (http://tinyurl.com/5m4ch) indicates that only 17 new Insights were sold last month, down 70% from...
Yeah, my surging has gotten WORSE now and seems to do it almost regularly at constant speed (not accelerating). So, I ordered an EGR gasket and will attempt to...
My new commute has me discharging my battery more than I'd like to before hitting a large hill. So...I figure if I could reset the ECM en route, I could force...
I'm 99% sure that you'll have to be stopped to reset the ECM. Essentially what is happening when you reset the computer is that you remove all power from it...
I heard that Honda is very disappopinted with their best-in-class hybrid program. They are tired of making hybrids that are also great commercial successes...
