Mitch, The KBB private party for raliegh NC is 11.3 for "good": condition, so depending on maintence and condition of vehicle, 12k can be "reasonable" if the...
I believe the batteries are 6800mha D cells, not the same as you see in Radio shack. You can look simular ones up on digikey (www.digikey.com) and the price is...
The 'D' cells Radio shack sells are repackaged 'C' cells. Check the capacity rating on them and you'll see what I mean. At least, that's the way they used to...
Hi, This last winter I started noticing an engine noise from my Insight (Tiny E). When the engine is cold, I hear a rattle that goes away when the engine...
Same thing as I have, I wounder if it can be done at home or if it is hard to do. And how much it cost at the dealer? Yves ... to mine ... Insight ... for ... ...
Just got back from picking up my '01 Insight from it's 110k mile service. I have had the same rattle when the engine was cold. Part of the 110k service is to...
Yep, VERY SAD. Yves. P.S. Actually, I find this unbeleivable to have hapened. ... sid=05/03/16/199217&tid=126&tid=14 ... better ... observations ... hydrogen ...
Sure. It can be done at home with a feeler gauge, torque wrench and a cool engine (below 100F). Read the manual first otherwise you will over correct for the...
Thanks, all, for your replies. Wish I would've remembered to ask about it when I was just in for the 60k service! Sounds like it isn't anything serious,...
Philip S. wrote, in response to fixing the "rattle" caused by valves needing adjustment and "can this be done at home?" ... With all due respect, unless one...
... That goes without saying. Thank you for your appreciation of my input. No need to 'All due respect' this thread. That's why I highly recommended reading...
I also want to thank all of those in this thread. I will ask my local dealer how much it cost to adjust the valves. If it is less than $100 I will let them do...
Yves, Haven't had a chance to report back on my car since the valve adjustment earlier this week. It's hard to hear the engine when it's been pouring down rain...
"Be Cool" isn't a great movie, but Chili Palmer (John Travolta, the same character as in "Get Shorty") does drive a silver Insight, which is treated with some...
Sadly my 2001 CVT Insight woes have reached the point of frustration. The dealer can't figure out what is wrong and American Honda has washed their hands of...
Richard, I have a scantool, do you mind if i pull some data off your car? (I'm also in Riv, UCR student). A silly question, but the dealer has updated your...
I have an Auterra scan tool and the dealer has also attached a Honda scan tool and put several hundred test miles on the car to no avail. Apparently, whatever...
Is that the only time it surges ?? What RPM's does it surge it ? Did they check the EGR valve ... I had surging at different speeds than you -- but with the...
Eliot, Its very possible its the EGR valve sticking, and it's a known problem with the Insight motor anyway (and we all know that the tech line doesn't know...
The surging or stalling at speed originally seemed to be transmission related. You would be driving along and watch the tach jump by 500 - 1000 RPM just like...
The EGR valve is a snap to get out and in .. if you are careful you can reuse the original gasket (though perhaps you should get a replacement gasket before...
Wow, this is some crazy stuff. Not in the morning but in the afternoon? It is possible that this is related to calibration (readings off intake temp sensor)....
OK - EGR valve was super clean. Looked like the dealer had already done that. I shot some carb cleaner on and in it but there was not really much to clean off....
This entire Digest #1667 is really what this yahoo-group is all about. Keep up the thread. The input from Brian Koo is exactly the kind that will eventuate in...
What about just disconnecting the EGR so it stays closed? It would be a way to rule out of the EGR is intermitent. (Are EGR valves ever intermitent? or they...
Brian - Before I head to the Toyota dealer to get a Prius, I'm game to try a few things. The EGR valve is $200 so I'd like to not purchase one just to find out...
