Hey guys, I posted a pic in the photos section called MPG Display. Can you all look at it and let me know if that has happened to you and what you did to fix...
Read the owner's manual. There's that FOC or whatever button on the left side of the dash. I think if you hold it down for some seconds the MPG display will...
A month or two ago I posted about the problems my 2001 Insight was having: 8 recals in 1 week. They replaced the main battery pack and some IMA component. ...
... The new behavior that you're experiencing is probably correct. The new IMA control modules seem to strive to maintain battery charge level at around half...
I was intrigued by your explanation but is this only for a manual transmission? I have a 2005 CVT and I rarely see the battery below 50% even though I too...
Strictly conceptually, it makes sense to have this newer IMA algorithm that does not strive to keep the battery at "100%", but rather at somewhat less (eg....
I've assumed my mileage drop is due mostly to winter gas. Also the it stays running at stops. Oh, and traffic always gets worse with the least amount of...
Did you try a manual recalibration ? That is the procedure where you take out one of the fuses for a period of time, then reinstall it, then run the engine at...
Definitely related to the temperature, not the gas. After the cold snap it warmed up a bit and my mileage improved. Now it's cold again and my mileage is...
... Deborah, I think probably it's for the MTs only. I too have a CVT -- traded in my '03 HCH for an '06 Insight -- and I've never seen my battery more than 3...
I am an owner of a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (CVT) in North Carolina. Prior to the cold, I was doing 55 mpg in mostly highway driving and on the original Dunlop...
Hah! I was about to comment on how terrible that was - 49! Then I reread and noticed you're driving an HCH. Anytime I see a Prius, I holler, "gas hog!" I...
... Huh? I just drive my car. It charges the battery until it's full. Recalibrated. Your method just wastes gas. Greg [Non-text portions of this message...
... I agree. The maintenance manual says to recharge the IMA battery by running the engine in neutral until the battery charge level is near full, but that's...
... The CVT ratio is controlled by an IMA controller to keep the battery charge level more constant than is possible with a manual transmission. All the IMA...
Hello, "Alumena" has 124K miles and a recently new 12V battery, recalls have been 1-3x monthly with fairly heavy usage. On 2 occasions it has failed to start...
Eric, I too have experienced occasional intermittent “strangenesses” when starting the car. Once in the while the “emergency” starter will decide it...
Eric, My 2001 does this as well... Probably a couple times a month. Turn the key back and try again...always starts on the second try. Eric "Eric W. Metzler"...
Greg, Street Nav. Garmin seems to have more points of interest, and more people seem to like them over the TomTom...just looking for some recommendations on...
I just bought a Navigon 7100. staples has it listed at $400 and $50 rebate after that. It includes Free Lifetime Traffic reporting in covered areas. (most...
Can someone post (add to the files) the latest 2000-01 ECM Recall letter? I gave mine to the dealer yesterday and forgot to keep a copy. I had actually...
I don't have this problem with my Insight but I with my 2006 Element. It has the dealer stumped. Monday they are replacing the starter but I really don't think...
2002 Insight CVT I've noticed in the last year or so that my average summer mileage dropped from 56-60 to about 52-55. Now that's winter my mileage is 47-50....
... Would your drop in fuel efficiency correspond with the addition of alcohol to the fuel that you use? The volumetric energy content of alcohol is less than...
I have a Garmin in my 2005 Insight. For mounting I use a long adjustable 'arm' that attaches to a bolt on the passenger seat. This way it's out of sight. I...
