I recently had my 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid in for scheduled service. While at the Honda dealership, the technician working on my car advised I have 6,000-miles...
You're right about the platinum-iridium controversy, and its because of this, and other reasons, that I wanted to buy the Autolite XP (no, not like Windows XP...
When I try to open the hatch I get an electrical buzzing sound but the hatch lock doesn't release. If I put the key in the rear lock, turn it hard to the...
No one carries plugs for the Insight except the dealerships. I put plugs in an Insight I had which had almost 100K miles. I tried a few auto parts stores and...
Unfortunately common enough, it's the electrical actuator module, about a $60 part, not too terribly difficult to replace, but if you mess it up it won't work....
... Having an Insight, I have no experience with the Dunlop SP20FE. However, the Dunlop SP20FE tires are a low-rolling-resistance design. Very few other tires...
... When the time came (at about 49K) to replace my SP20FEs (03 HCH CVT), I chose Bridgestone B381s -- the OEM tire of the Manual Transmission HCHs for 2003...
Steve, My 05 Civic Hybrid came with the Bridgestone tires. I replaced them with Michelin Radial X. I lost about 2 miles per gal, but I gained a more quiet...
I had to replace my 03 HCH tires at about 40K. I ended up with Goodyear Assurance All Season Radials. I did lose 2-3 MPG, which I am sad about, but living in...
Rick, Would you please post (again) about the "indexing" of plugs. I've forgotten. What is it about the individual plugs that makes them suitable ONLY for...
... See <http://www.insightcentral.net/encyclopedia/ensparkplugs.html> ... I'm not aware of any other production car that uses indexed spark plugs, but some...
Regarding how to get the washer fluid out, one easy method is to disconnect the washer fluid hose under the hood where it connects to the sprayers, put the end...
What Art said. From the few reports of changing plugs I've read it seems B is the common plug. The one I did, sure enough, had all 3 plugs that were B's. I'd...
... Indeed! But maybe he also keeps his fuel tank and urinary bladder near empty as well :-) All joking aside, it's admirable that he's aware of such ...
Well I figure if the thing is designed to be as light as possible, I may as well strive to keep my loading in mind. Yes, during the summer I do ususally only...
Art, what makes you think there may be in increase in pollutant production (though not in power) when using unindexed, or incorrect index plugs? I've been...
... The latter. The washers are all the same. What differs is the position of the start of the thread in relation to the ground electrode, so that when the...
OK, I finally found a viable way to mail the bumper stickers... so lets try this again. I found right-sized envelopes.... not many choices..... one at Office...
The location of the valve and ground electrode is not significant, but it is important that the flame pattern is not blocked by the ground electrode. The idea...
In addition to what others have stated, don't forget that the fuel burns, not explodes, in a controlled manner. I'm not sure about the Insight, but I expect...
The Civic hybrid uses two spark plugs per cylinder, but they are not indexed.The Accord just has 1 plug per cylinder. Kabir, have you actually found the plugs...
Yes, these Autolite XP plugs that I found seem to make sense to me. They seem to be the most "advanced" non OEM plugs around, so I somehow seem to prefer them...
You are correct in that a spark will ignite the air fuel mix regardless of orientation of the electrode but Indexing is important in that it allows the...
My 2000 #4581 has all B's. Robert ... common plug. The one I did, sure enough, had all 3 plugs that were B's. I'd be curious to know if it is the crush washer...
... Bottom line: if indexing didn't accomplish anything, Honda would not have gone to the trouble to mark each cylinder head and specify indexed spark plugs....
Some years ago I would index spark plugs for a 350 Chevy V-8. Champions were what I used, and Jacobs sold a few different thickness washer/gaskets that one...
