As a professional automotive technician, I'd like to add 2 things to this conversation. #1 I have 2 DVOM's (one in my tool box and one in my personal car). I also work more with labscopes (and I have one of these also) than DVOM's these days as the communication speeds at which voltage travels...

Duke, I'm actually surprised that anyone even took the time to read what I wrote. lol As for the anvil smashing/crimping device, it's been a long time since I've seen one of those; what you did is a great use for it. The wire won't pull free from the terminal easily (it would if you clamped...

I was in the same boat your in at one time, and I have the 860MP. The CDIB100II works really well with our head units actually, and even better with the iTouch and iPhone than with a regular iPod. I have an iTouch 16 gig model, and even while I'm playing music through the CDIB100II connection...

I work for a municipality (a city) fleet department, and we are always having to make our own power and ground connections for everything on our city vehicles. From the amber light bars that you see on non-emergency vehicles to the full emergency setups on police and fire vehicles, we do it...

If you haven't already done this job, they look harder than they are (most of the time). Take the wheel off after the vehicle is jacked up and PLACED/set to rest on a jack stand (for the love of God don't work with just a floor jack under the car); set the parking brake. There's a Castle Nut...

To be honest, I don't care how old your system is as far as the EGR Valve goes; my 89's system isn't even OBD1 and it does the same as the newest systems today do. I fully understand engine clutter, believe me. However, I wouldn't go driving just anywhere as some places do monitor your...

If it weren't for the time, I'd say more than I will here. If you can take the trash out of what goes into the engine in a normal PCV setup, then you'll have zero problems. And if you think the PCV is bad, try not having one. As for the EGR system, they are very important. EGR valves are...

Okay so once again I goofed. Turns out, this article isn't even about catch cans! In my article section, I labeled it, "The Truth About Crankcase Breather Filters". It's been a long time since I did much with the site, but needless to say it's still pretty spot on. The hose that is mentioned...

I really wish I had more time to post on these threads like I used to do (back in the day), but alas those days are over. However, your catch can isn't exactly a can, but more so a tiny bowl. Do you see what I mean by it fills up with trash however? Moroso (aftermarket company) makes a can...

my apology for not getting back with you soon enough, and for not being there when you IM'd me last night. With aprox. 14 parts air to 1 part fuel needed for your engine to run decently, it's very easy to run rich (too much fuel) when you restrict air and insert the same amount of fuel into the...

I'll look up a link in a few, copy an image to my site and hyper link you to for the placement of the PCV. If it's anthing like the ol' Preludes, they are right on top of the engine's valve cover. Most of the newer accords are V6's, so as for yours being a 4, my apology. :-P Just give me a...

Welcome! I just joined last week and I'm from The Colony (about 35 miles north of Dallas). I do a lot of road cycling down around Katy, and enjoy that area of Texas a lot. Organize a meet down there and you can count me in as well. As for the above mentioned water park, I've been by it...

Yep, and I had to take 2 ASE Certification exams tonight; Automatic and Manual Transmissions. If I pass these two, then I'll be Master ASE Certified. I love what I do and encourage everyone in this field to get as much out of it as you can. One thing is FOR SURE, the demand for transporation...

Most likely, it has all the normal items that need to be replaced (and then some). Not so sure I'd worry about the rear main seal and or those ****** seals though unless you're confident in either yourself, or a certified repair facility to do those replacements. More often than not, first...

No problem! That's what these forums are here for... to help others in search for information. I hope all goes well with the repairs. Dustin
