Is a squeaking noise when you let off the brake pedal in your car a serious problem?
Whenever I let off the brake pedal in my Honda, I hear a squeak noise. Is this something that likely just needs to be lubricated/cleaned on the brake mechanism, or is it signs of a more serious problem? It is not the brake pads; those have been replaced recently. Is this something I need fixed ASAP, (possible brake failure) or is it something that just simple (not serious ) maintenance?

Kawasaki Ninja 250/300 or Yamaha YZF-R3 or Honda CBR 250r?
I'm a beginner rider looking into buying my first motorcycle.
I'm an 18 years old female who's 5'3".
Bikes with a seat height under 800mm is ideal for someone of my height and experience that is why I've picked out these bikes. The seat heights of these 3 bikes are 780-785mm. I'd like a bike no older than 2007. One with easy maintenance and parts that aren't going to cost my an arm and a leg if something breaks on the bike. I know the 125's are cheaper however I've heard although they are a lot of fun, they aren't all that forgiving and I like the power that 250/300's have to offer - I feel they're better suited for me since I don't want to go selling and having to buying another bike because I want more power after riding a 125 for a couple months.
I like the look of the Ninja's and R3's but ultimately my choice with come down to comfort, affordability, easy to ride and of course forgiving to my beginner self.
I'll be getting a bike second hand for no more than $3500 Australia dollars so your recommendations would be much appreciated.

How long can I drive on a Donut (spare tire)?
Well here's the situation. I got a flat yesterday morning on my way to work, I do deliveries (yes with 'my' car) and I had a brand-new spare tire in the trunk (2008 Honda Civic) which was never used til' now.
The thing is, I have tire insurance through my monthly payment arrangements with Honda. I call the claims department, and they said to take the car to a Honda dealership and to call them back to confirm replacement. So I call Honda (where I bought my car) and made an appointment for first thing tomorrow morning (Saturday), to replace the tire.
This was on Friday morning, before I was going to work.
I went to work on a donut spare, and I had to do deliveries (about 40 miles worth of driving) and I was nervous about driving around on a donut too long, so I kept my car under 35 mph for every delivery.
So anyways, next day comes, (Saturday morning) and I called Honda to confirm I'm coming in, then I called the Insurance department, and they were freakin' closed! They're only open Mon-Fri.
So now I can't call them to confirm replacement by the dealership! So I cancelled the appointment, and made it for early Monday morning. But the problem is, I have work tomorrow (Sunday) again, I usually don't get as much deliveries as I did on Friday, but my car is 'still' on the Donut.
I refuse to buy another tire, because I've been paying for this damn insurance for 3 years (additional 10 dollars monthly) for situations like this, and now they're not even available when I need at the moment. So I'm not taking money out of 'my' pocket for something I've 'already' been paying for 3 years. So will I be ok to take this car to work for one more day? Is it safe, even driving safely, and driving the car under a safe speed limit? I'm just furious right now with the claims department, I told them I made an appointment for Honda next day, and they didn't bother telling me they are closed that day. So I'm stuck here. I looked around even for a used tire, and I can't find nothing less than $50, and I don't want to buy anything for this damn car if I have insurance I've been paying for.
So far $10 monthly, for 3 years is $360! And this is ONE tire. I'm gonna pay money out of my pocket for another tire (probably $100) while this insurance walks away with my money?
Does anybody have suggestions? Or have had similar situation or knows anything of what I can do with the insurance company maybe? And I will my donut make it tomorrow for work?
please help.

Blown Head Gasket, Low mileage Car. Should I replace or fix?
Hey everyone.
I was driving my car yesterday and it started to shake violently. Then a lot of white smoke started coming out of the tail pipe to the point where I thought it was going to blind the cars behind me. Also, my car started to smell like antifreeze. I looked at the oil to see if there was water in it, but it looks normal. Anyways, my dad thinks I might have a blown head gasket.
I have a 1993 Honda Civic DX. I bought it used for around $2000 and it was working fine for about 3 years. It only has about 76,000 miles on it.
Is it worth fixing, because the car has fairly low mileage and I don't have to pay monthly car payments. However, my insurance company said that if I got in an accident (whether its my fault or not), they aren't going to cover my car. Or should I just get a newer car, possibly pay month car payments, and have my car covered my insurers if I get in an accident.
Thanks:)

Does this sound like a faulty O2 sensor?
No check engine light, just wondering if my O2 sensors could be on their way out.
Rough idle, acceleration from idle is very poor. Idling has VERY bad bursts in warm weather, and the acceleration is twice as bad when it's warm outside (anything over 60 degrees F).
No vacuum leaks, throttle body is clean. I am thinking of replacing both O2 sensors as preventative maintenance anyway but am curious if they could be my issue.
I know I don't have a CEL but I've heard O2s can definitely be faulty with no CEL.

Fixing a crack in transmission case?
Hello all, I have a 1994 automatic honda civic dx coupe a while back i got stuck up on a rock and cracked the transmission case directly on the bottom it's kind of more of a hole it's about the size of a dime. I had put some jb weld on it and it held for about 9 months but then decided to start leaking. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before some tricks they did? ( I was told you cannot weld my transmission bein as it is aluminum.(the transmission is stock) I was pricing them found one for a 380 but wanted to give something another shot before i pay that and than pay to have it installed. All ANSWERS GREATLY APPRECIATED (;

Changed my fuel filter, car won't start?
i've bought 2 fuel filters for my 1990 honda civic, the first one i couldn't stop the leak, so the 2nd one i made everything was ok ( the 2 copper rings, screwed it straight, the arrows match up, the pipes are correct holes), i did everything by the haynes book. Now when i start it i think theres a very slow leak cause it doesn't start, but i go check the filter and it goes very slowly wet on top ( of gas), my car won't start at all. Now my fuel filter still doesn't have a perfect seal, i can't do nothing about that, i honestly tried for 7 hours yesterday, just taking it apart, applying pressure, thats why today i had to buy a 2nd fuel filter just in case. But even though it has a very slow leak, shouldn't it at least start up for a few seconds? I'm at my wits end here! I'lll buy gasket sealer and seal the damn thing up, but it'll prob just end up leaking some more. The hoses are good, if i tip them upside down gas flows out, the gas tank lid is unscrewed, the banjos are good, it perfectly round, the threads i put sealing tape on it ( i know its not good, but i just wanted to see if it at least starts up)

I have a 1996 Honda Shadow ACE. It won t start even though the battery is charged. What can I do?
I just got the battery charged and the bike still wont start. I can hear it trying but it just won t catch. I know very little about engines but could it be the fuel pump or carburetor that needs to be cleaned or replaced. If so, how do I do that? Thank you for the help.

Will a 26mm carb will work with a single cylinder 250cc yamaha?
My bikes carb is rotten… So i am planing on fitting a new carburetor for the bike. Currently under the process of fashioning a new spigot and a carburetor manifold to fit the bike. My question is will things work? I am planing on mounting a 26mm slide carb with a custom spigot to the Yamaha SR250 since i don't have a carb. The original carb which came with it is 34mm… As far as i know after doing a little bit of research 32mm and 34mm both work on it… And i know a friend of mine who mounted a Honda AX1 250cc carburetor to the SR 250 and runs fine… So what are the chances i have?

Motorcycle that's been sitting for a while?
My Honda ST1100 has been sitting for a year. (1100cc, water cooled, V4).
I want to get it back on the road. It will need a new battery. But I'm worried about running the engine after it's been sitting so long. Should I put a little oil in each cylinder? Should I run the engine without the sparkplugs connected for a while to get oil circulated through the engine? Or should I just start it up and see if it runs? What do you think?

1994 Honda Magna 750 not idling?
Hello, everyone. My 1994 Honda Magna Motorcycle is not idling properly. This is a fairly new bike it only has 8 thousand miles. I did leave it in the rain a few times when the rain caught me off guard, and the only other thing I can think of is maybe dirt got into it? When its left alone running the RPMs will go from about 1.5k to 0 slowly and die. To keep it running I must keep gassing the throttle, and when the choke it pulled it kills it. Thank you!

Why shouldn't I purchase this car?
I just saw a 1996 Honda Civic for $2,996.00 with 89,000 mi on it. I am planning to purchase it from a reputable dealership, I did background check on the car and it had one minor accident from someone hitting the left rear bumper. No odometer changes, no other accode ts, no issues in any other place. I looked at the car and it is in very good condition. I drove it doesn't have any issues thus far. I also plan on getting it a thorough inspection tocmake sure all is in good condition by my mechanic.
Aside from my mechanic's inspection so far everything checks out with it. Is there any reason people aren't jumpinf at the chance to buy up these low mileage cars? Is it because they are old and people just want to keep up with Joneses? I mean it's a clean car with low miles, 31 mpg. Can't imagine why someone wouldn't purchase a car like this aside from the aforementioned.
I'm saving up for my house and so I don't want to add a car payment to my debt, in fact I would like to stay away from debt as much as possible. I just need something for work and possibly just drive to my friends' houses.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

94 honda accord lx starting problems?
My 94 honda accord lx (224,000miles) has had starting issues for a LONG time, and no one seems to really know what's going on, I've replaced the rotor, and it helped for about a week. The car turns over but won't catch sometimes, usually after running, then turning it off for 10 min or less and trying to restart it. I then have to wait about 10 min before it will do anything other than just turn over. I've tried turning the key and letting the fuel pumps charge or whatever and that doesn't seem to make a difference. It's a very finicky problem that shows up with no apparent pattern. Any help would relieve a LOT of frustration!

Bikes using detuned sportbike engines?
Some bikes use detuned sportbike engines. For example
1)The FJR1300 uses a detuned R1 engine
2)Street triple uses a detuned daytona engine
3)Honda Phantom TA150, a 2 stroke cruiser uses a detuned NSR150 engine
Is it possible to 'retune' these engines so that it churns out the same level of power & performance of the original sportbike? Or is it too elaborate a job involving more then just tuning - changing ECUs, CDIs, remapping, sprockets etc
Sorry if its a dumb question

Car Battery died while driving?
Yesterday I had to jump my car ('94 Honda Passport), which I found weird because I hadn't left any lights on or anything. I had about a 20-24 minute drive home, and when I got into my neighborhood, the battery gave out and everything stopped working. The car wouldn't even try to turn over. I'm worried to jump it again, because I'm afraid it will die on me while driving, again. What gives?

My budget is ~$6000. No more then 6500. I either abig truck or a stick shift car. No ford truck cause there ugly af. It's my first car so most of you know, its about the looks as of now although i am sure ill regret that later. Just want a few suggestions and such.

Althought these are obviously way out of my price range. I am willing to do things such as, smoke windows, lift/lower, paint rims ect… Doing this would take me out of my price range but those can be done later on. Just throw some ideas out.

Teenage boy trying to find the car I want?
So I m 16 and want a car. Manual transmission is what I want. Also I would like the car to at least be fun and up to date at least a little bit. My budget is 5k maybe a LITTLE higher. Also I m a teenage boy driving already so I don t want something that will spike up my insurance because I will have to be paying for that too. I don t want to sound like a d-bag either but I really only like leather if that s not too much to ask for:p. So summary: manual transmission, cheap, fun to drive(some power). Also I don t want any of the Honda Civic answers or accord or Camry or 240sx or even Acura integra. Sorry I just really hate those cars.

What kind of car should I buy? I'm 20 years old making 35k a year in Los Angeles California?
Hey guys! I currently drive a Honda civic 2004, I've had it for about two years now, I financed it with a super high interest rate ( I wish I should have known better) and was able to pay it off. Now I reduced my car insurance to liability since the car isn't exactly the highest on Kelly blue book. The car has been running like a champ but until recently I'm finding myself repairing different things for the car every month, small things but I feel like this will amount up over time so I have been considering purchasing a vehicle. At first I wanted a Mustang 2015 (the car looks awesome) but doing the math with my car insurance I'd be paying about 800 dollars a month total for the car payment plus insurance so of course that's a no go for now due to my age:( currently I was thinking on getting a Honda Accord 2016, they seem elegant and super safe so my insurance, albeit high due to my age, wouldn't be as high as a Mustang due to its safety features, either a coupe of the four door. What do you guys think? A totally different car altogether? I am not able to get insurance with let's say my parents because the only other driver in the family is my step dad and we aren't exactly friends so he doesn't want to put me in his insurance. Please advise. Thank you!

2003 honda civic overheating at idle?
i have a 2003 honda civic lx with 229k miles on it. Last year i noticed that it started overheating at idle but cools down again when i start moving. So i replaced the radiator, timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket(because it was leaking oil). This seemed to solve the problem for the whole year until a month ago i noticed it started doing the same thing again. It seems to go away when i top it off with coolant then about a couple days later it starts doing the same thing til i top it off with coolant again. There are no visible leaks. So far this is what ive done to diagnose the problem with no avail.
1) pressure tested the head gasket, everything seems fine
2) radiator holds pressure when i had a pressure test performed on it
3) engine oil doesn't look milky
4) no white smoke coming out of my exhaust
5) no visible oil leaks. Overflow resevior is full

Can I return a used car I just bought?
I just bought a 2012 Honda Accord se with 35k miles yesterday from a small used car dealership and I had my family mechanic look at it today. I got the news that the rotors are heavily rusted and need to be replaced (all 4), break pads need to be replaced (all 4) and the front drivers side wheel bearing needs to be replaced. When I was at the dealer I was told that the car had no internal issues, and the only flaws were the cosmetic ones (I am aware and okay with the scratches that are on the vehicle). While driving it home off the lot I took notice of the grinding noises coming from the car, which is why I immediately took the car to my mechanic. To get all of these things fixed is going to cost me a lot. Since the salesman didn't tell me about the issues before hand, am I allowed to bring the car back and return it? I'd rather go elsewhere and buy another car that won't cost me anything for repairs a day after I get it. I live in Connecticut. The price of the car is $13,900 plus after taxes, fees and interest on the loan I got it comes out to almost $20k, and to pay that much for a vehicle that needs work just makes me angry and I feel ripped off. The salesman told me the car was in perfect condition and the Kelly blue book value was over $16,500, but it's actually KBB value is around $14,000. The salesman/owner of the dealership stated we have a 60 warranty if anything happens but he wasn't specific on as to what it covered no matter how many times we asked.

Can I be taught to drive in a taxi in Manhattan?
Ok so I'm 18, I live in Manhattan, and I have a regular class D learners permit. My dad has a CDL class B licence and a taxi licence. He owns a black Honda CRV but has taxi plates on the car in order to drive for Uber. I know that if I had my full licence that I could not drive the car on my own without a taxi licence. My question is am I legally allowed to drive the car if my dad with the taxi licence was in the car with me? Just in case no this is not to pick up customers and get around the taxi and limousine commission but for regular use like going to the store or on a trip upstate.

Estimate/average of power window repairs?

Americans why do you guys allow foreign franchise in your country?
Like Toyota, Sony, Toshiba, Kumon, Honda, Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, Maserati, Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc. I understand that every company here in America from banks to retail from restaurants to department stores from cell phones to candy/chips/beverage/beer/water/cigarett… From brands to even gas stations everything is American. But there are some companies from outside that exist in the US mostly cars and certain electronic companies as I mentioned above. Don't Americans have any idea that these countries mostly Japanese and European are making money off of the US that's a bad thing. Why won't Americans discontinue foreign franchise if they care about their country so much. This is a question that I have been wanting to get answers from for so many years. Is America trying to be like Mexico where you guys want farmers to lose jobs and immigrate outside why aren't you guys doing anything to quit foreign franchise from invading your land?

97 honda accord running hot at idle?
I have a 97 honda accord that was running fine until it got hot outside. It runs fine in the mornings at abt 50 degrees or less. In the afternoon abt 65 degrees or high it starts to get hot at an idle or stop. And by that i mean it goes past the middle line. I just got it back from a mechanic they replaced the whole fan motor and also found a bad oil leak and replaced the vtech valve. I drove it back home abt 35 min away and the car did well until i got abt 5 minutes home through red lights and it started running hot again. It didnt go to the red but it went a little above the middle and highest being between hot and the middle line. I called the mechanic back and he told me to run the ac while i drove home to see if that would help the fans kick on. While running the ac if at a stop it stayed a tad above the middle line. What could this be? After i turn the car off you can hear the fans on.

Dropped motorbike won't start! Help?!
I recently bought a second hand Honda CG125, 2008 and everything has been fine - until now.
I did a stupid, put it on the stand on a hill and of course it tipped and fell onto it's right side (if you're sat on it).
There is some cosmetic damage and the front indicator bulb has gone, but the biggest problem is it won't start now!
Something leaked when it fell over (?), but I got it up with in a minute, didn't try to start it just rolled it in neutral into my yard.
Once in the yard I tried to start it and the engine rolled over and there was a loud ticking sound. I stopped, waited for a minute and then tried again and there was NOTHING - no ignition, no engine. I turned the bike off, did some quick googling and went outside to try it again, this time the electrics weren't working at all!
It's been an hour or two since now, and the electrics have started working again. The ignition is on a button, and when I press it the lights dim, but still absolutely no ignition or engine.
Any ideas what's happened? Is there any way I can get it started at home myself?
I am inexperienced with bikes, so please include details!
Help is GREATLY appreciated!

Honda is reading po135 but o2 sensor changed(twice), check engine light still on?
My Husband and I bought a car. 2004 civic coupe LX automatic. Check engine light came on, we got it read and it came up po135, a code for camshaft position sensor intermittent signal and the Electronic load detector. We got everything we needed and bought some extra tools. My husband fixed the timing belt that was just changed previously (it was off a tooth), changed everything it said to fix, but the code is still on. He went to a dealership, had it reset, drove home engine light went back on. We tested the O2 sensor it was good but replaced it just in case. My husband checked the wires for the circut, everything was fine from what he could tell, He checked fuses, tested resistence, checked for a open or grounded wire, basically a lot. The P0135 code still comes up. My husband suggests a new PCM install it, big surprise, not the PCM. The car runs just fine and other than the check engine light you would not know there is a issue. Is their anything else we could do before we spend hundreds of $ we do not really have to get this car on the road? Its too late to sell, we have lost so much money might as well go for fixing the darn thing.

I need an aux cable for a 07 Honda Pilot?
Hello:)
I need an aux cable for an 07 Pilot, but I don't want the ones with the "box" that comes with it because it seems like I have to find a way reroute it to fit inside the car (Im not lazy believe me, I just dont need the extra). I keep trying to look for one, but they are made for other vehicles like Mazda, Hyundai, Nissan, and such.
I would just buy a custom radio, but I'm 17 and cant afford to buy one right now, but I can install something like an aux cord by myself.
Please help me. Thanks!

Can you link two same spec generators together to double the wattage?
I have two nearly identical unregulated Honda 2.2kva generators.
The only difference between them is that one can do 230v and 115v
While the other can do 115v and 57v.
The alternators are identical besides their winding count.
What I want to know is if I can wire the 230v alternator for 115v in parallel, and then wire the 115v alternator for 115v by wiring the two 57v winding in series. Then wiring the alternators together in series for 230 again but higher wattage?
Will it also change the output Hz from 50 or remain the same with two generators running at 50Hz?
And what would happen if one generator cutout? Would I need to make some automated switch off circuitry?
Also if this can't be done, I'd like to know the physics behind it as I'm always willing to learn!
Cheers
-Eddie

How much does Honda charge for ECM or software update on recalled vehicles such as 2005 Honda Civic?
I have a check engine light on as I took it to an autoshop they said that there is a updated version on my vehicle that needs to be done otherwise it would not scan correctly due to its current version. They looked up the fault P0139 Code on 2005 honda civic and they said that there are recalls on this model. Which leads my CEL on and its probably a false reading.

Too much oil in engine, white smoke?
I excessively overfilled my engine with oil (more than 5 quarts) in my 2001 Honda Civic EX. I drained the excess oil out after the car would not allow me to acclerate. After draining the excess oil and refilling it to its correct levels, smoke keeps coming out from the exhaust when the car is idle and when I drive it around the block for several minutes. The smoke is rather light in color (almost white or light grey). What could possibly be wrong with my car and how should I go about this? Thanks.

Rough idle and hesitation, symptoms of a vacuum leak but seemingly normal fuel trims?
Rough idle and hesitation, symptoms of a vacuum leak but seemingly normal fuel trims? - 1
Added (1). My car has had a very annoying hesitation / performance issue with a rough idle. It feels like bursts of vibrations when stopped (not a motor mount), almost like a vacuum leak. However my fuel trims are around 5-15% total fuel trim.
Added (2). I have no check engine light. I have also noticed sometimes when accelerating from a stop, the car has a very slightly delayed response and kind of jerks, and then accelerates.
Added (3). Today I have been smelling a slight gasoline smell outside of my car after I turn it on. Any ideas? I m pretty lost. Thanks!
Added (4). (Sorry, Y!A is screwed up and I have to post "Updates" with my info)…
One more thing, it's not a leaky injector (had them all checked and cleaned at a Honda dealer).

Being heavily steered towards getting a car however I want and know that a motorcycle is best for me?
I am on a ~$4000 budget, which is perfect for a new Honda Cb300f or Cbr300r and seeing as I work a full-time minimum wage job, I just do not see a car being practical for me. Too expensive, gas, insurance, and I wouldn't even be getting a good car on my budget, I would be getting a car that has been driven to hell and looks like sh*t on my budget. I am willing to take all Motorcycle safety classes and wear all protective gear, (I have been riding bicycles heavily to and from work/school for the past 5 years of my life), but my ignorant mom still insists me getting a piece of sh*t car is better for both me and her. I want to learn, I am willing to learn however I just feel like this is best. Is that so bad? Or should I just continue on riding a bicycle well into my adult years?

Bad headgasket, Why is my coolant not returning to the engine?
Hello,
I know I have a bad head. Anyway the coolant overflows out the overflow tank and fails to return to the engine. Figured that CO2 was displacing the coolant and the vacuum created when cooling then was minimal. BUT, when i removed the coolant overflow lid and took the little hose in it and exposed it to air THEN removed the rad cap. My lower and upper hose collapsed/sucked in. What does this indicated?
Added (1). BTW it is confirmed with a block check chemical test. 2000 Honda civic Dx. Aluminum engine. Car overheats only intermittenly after long drives and coolant only needs to refilled because it is overflowing. Also my thermo is working as well as fans.

How many YEARS will my 2006 Honda Civic LX last?
I have a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan, with 73,300 miles. I am now down to driving only about 4000 miles/year (I run a home-based business), so clearly miles not going to determine when my car dies.
I would like to own it for a total of 16 years (until 2022), by which time the car might still be no higher than 100,000 miles.
Clearly, miles are not what will make this car old, but rather calendar time.
So my question is, what sort of maintenence based on calendar time should I be doing? I am in California, so no salt, ice, or exteme heat working against my car.
1) Waxing - I want the car to look good even when it is old, of course. How often should waxing be done? I am parked in outside covered parking, so it is shielded from the sun and rain, but not from horizontal forces like blowing dust…
2) Tires - I am not wearing my tires down in miles, but how about years? How often should they be changed if the rubber is getting old?
3) What other sort of maintenance should be done on a time schedule rather than a miles schedule?

Hesitation problems gone in cold weather? - 1
2012 Honda Civic LX, 180k miles.
First, can a transmission mount affect acceleration performance? I've been having hesitation issues (lack of acceleration power) in my Civic. The problem goes away almost completely in cold weather (anything below 35 degrees F). However in warm weather, my car struggles to accelerate quickly and it sounds kind of like it's growling.
I do believe I have a bad transmission mount due to a vibrating/rough idle that goes away whenever I shift to N or R. So I will get that replaced, but I'm not sure this can cause hesitation?
Does this sound like a dirty TB?
Fuel trims are normal. Thanks
Added (1). P.S. I'm doubtful it is the mount. I'm leaning towards a dirty TB or other air restriction since the cold/denser air pretty much gets rid of the problem (likely not vacuum leak due to normal fuel trims).

The guy i bought it from didn't know what they were for either. They are mounted just above the boost gauge which doesn't read anything. Neither do the 3 gauges next to the door jam.

However, my horn and brake lights to activate. What could this possibly be?

Not used to my newfangled Honda, why does it do this?
I've always owned manual transmission cars and just recently due to age and some other factors traded my last one in for a Honda. It's automatic obviously. My eyes still automatically look at the tach all the time though and I've noticed that when I go to pass someone on the freeway, it will rev up to about 2500rpms and then go back down. As if it is downshifting. Why does it do this?

Buy out Car or New Lease?
I currently have a 2012 Honda Civic EXL and can buy it out for $13000 tax included in August. Would this be a better option then getting a new lease as I will save money over the long-term? The car has 60000 kms on it and I currently make between $40-50K

Why is my car shaking so much at high speeds?
I drive a 2000 Honda Civic. Has about 160k miles on it. When I drive over 60 mph my steering wheel starts shaking bad. It shakes vigorously for about 3 seconds and then stops for about 2 seconds, shakes for 3 seconds and stops for 2 seconds. It continuously does this the entire time when going over 60 mph. This has been occurring for over a year now and the shakiness has been getting worse. When I apply my brakes at this speed they also shake but nothing like the steering wheel.
In January 2016 I had both tie rods replaced. I also got 2 new tires and they are on the back.
On March 12, 2016 I got all my tires balanced. I took my car in to have the rotors resurfaced but they told me I would be wasting my money. My rotors looked good.
After I got all tires balanced my car still shakes in the same intervals but it seems a 'little' less than before.
My car is up to date on all maintenances, just got it an oil change last weekend. The only thing that needs to be replaced is my right rear bearing. But the shakiness is all in the steering wheel so I don't think my back bearing is causing much of that shakiness.
Does anyone have an ideas on what could be causing this? I know I have an older car and I expect my car to shake but it shouldn't be shaking this bad. I know something is causing it.

Can you drive a car with penetrating oil on spark plug?
1997 Honda civic LX. We were trying to replace spark plugs on Honda we bought but one refused to budge so we put penetrating oil and tried again. Nothing. So we read you can leave overnight and it might be better… But I work in 7 hours and wake up a few hours early to try again and hope it works. Otherwise… We would have to try again after work… So my question is, can the car be driven… Or am I going to set the car on fire? Is uber a better idea? Thanks.

Why do people flash their high beams and drive like idiots around me?
I drive a boring base 2015 Honda Civic and commute for a couple hours a day and just tonight at least four cars flashed their high beams at me when there wasn't a cop or had my high beams on. Two different cars actually put them on and stayed behind me in the right lane when they easily could have passed. I just put on cruise control and try to relax the entire trip because it's so stressful. Should I just avoid the highways altogether even if it takes a little longer or am I being paranoid?

1999 Honda Cr-V is burning raw gas, and a cylinder is not firing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
I recently purchased a 1999 Honda CR-V for a low price due to a miss in the engine. After replacing spark plugs, wires, Distributor Cap/roter, and ignition coil, the problem continues. I had suspected the fuel injector was bad, but the CR-V is made is such a way that checking the injectors is harder than it should be. Giving codes P1399, and PO304. This is because cylinder 4 is not firing at all. Pulling plug wires while the engine idles shows that pulling cylinder 4 has no change. Swapped park plugs and wires with a different cylinder and they work fine. Raw gas and black residue on exhaust pipe. Has a hard time when starting up, but once the engine warms up it runs perfectly. Shuts off when put into reverse before engine is warmed up, RPM too low.

Does anyone else enjoy their commute to work?
A few co-workers think I'm crazy for living 1 hour away from work, but honestly it doesn't really bother me. I enjoy driving, it gives me time to relax and actually helps me clear my head before work because I am concentrating on driving, esp in heavier traffic, rather than thinking about work.Although maybe my opinion is slanted because I do work 3- 12 hour shifts in a week. Even with wear and tear on my car, the cost of living near where I work is substantially higher, and it wouldn't make sense to rent when I'm only paying 15 dollars per week in gasoline driving an old Honda.
Would you rather be closer to work and pay 875 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment, or live an hour away and own an older small 2 bedroom house for 500 a month?

Hello, in the start of fall I accidentally jump-started my Honda cm185t Twinstar 1978 with reversed polarity. I saw a wire on the rectifier smoking and replaced it with a new wire. No fuses I can see are blown Once I put the rectifier back on the bike,it started up and turned over. Both cylinders fire only when I press the starter button and hold it in. It also doesn t Rev correctly without the starter button being held in. I need to know what do in order to have my motorcycle working correctly, Any advice you could offer is greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any follow up questions you need. Thank you.

I took my car into Goodyear today and found out I have a manifold exhaust leak and that I need a new catalytic converter. I drive a 2001 Honda Civic LX and am incredibly inexperienced with cars. The price estimate was $883.37 and I was wondering if anyone in Colorado Springs know of a mechanic that will do the repairs cheaper or a mechanic that will install maybe an aftermarket cat converter? If I looked for aftermarket converters, what would I need?! Thanks, Chase.
