I have looked at the online manuals and I have seen the schematic for the RSX cruise control. I don't want to just start throwing parts at the car but I am not sure the best way to confirm that the actuator is bad. I have checked all the fuses and my hunch is that the actuator is what quit but...

Just installed Kpro on a 02 Type S. The motor was just fresh rebuilt, bored 0.20 over, new rings, bearings, everything new. Computer worked fine before the kpro install. I installed the plastic hondata intake manifold gasket, and it has injen cai. Everything else is stock. The car starts and...

Hello there. I have a question which I don't really know how to get it fixed without throwing couple hundred bucks out of the windows. Recently, when I was driving from work back home, I saw my Check Engine light on (nothing was wrong, I didn't feel any difference driving it, it could be...

Srs codes are 9-2 9-6 1-4 Where should I start? Could the air bad module be bad? The srs unit? Or is there something easier I could do to check?

I've run a search and found numerous issues related to gear selection, but I haven't found a step-by-step, soup to nuts troubleshooting process. So many posts have common areas of concern and there is a lot of overlap in solutions. Scroll to *** if you're a TLDR kind of person. This morning I...

Hi all, I know the CEL is a popular topic, and maybe this exact case has been covered before, but here goes my story: Car is a 2003 base auto, with a type S exhaust manifold, cat and type s exhaust (oem). Why? Because I used to have a type S race header and aftermarket exhaust, and then traded...

I'd like some advice to see if the issue may be simpler/more complicated. In neutral the car sounds & acts normal. When I push in the clutch I feel vibration in my left foot and hear some noise/vibration...like a flywheel spinning and making light contact with something...or maybe even a...

2003 Acura RSX Type-S. Her name is Erica. I love her dearly. She's giving me shit and it's driving me bananas. Maybe you guys can help point me in the right direction to get her back to proper operation. Here's the rundown: Recently I had the brake light switch melt and malfunction (a...

I had a problem with my XenonDepot HID's yesterday, but it went away. Well, what goes away by itself, comes back by itself, so I want to be a little proactive in my troubleshooting. The system was installed by the previous owner, and he didn't do a very good job installing anything as far as I...

So I went to install my Skunk alpha header last night and man was it a bitch to install. Once I finally got the thing to fit, one of the bolts on the far side (a2rea that bolts to the engine) would not thread. I tried untorquing all the other bolts/nuts and it still would not thread. Before...

CEL went on and the first code was to replace the A/F O2 sensor. I replaced that 02 sensor. CEL went off and then came back on. A/F O2 code is gone. But now.. I have a pending P0420 code. I am trying to pass emissions with my Acura 2002 base RSX. I know the P0420 doesn't automatically...

Hey everyone my RSX has a rattle I'm trying to figure out, I know rattles are common on these cars but this one worries me. It seems to be coming from under the left side of the valve cover where the timing chain is. Rattle can be heard with engine running in this video: RSX Engine Rattle Also...

When I bought my RSX, it came with a jacked up HID job. Basically, when you first turn on the headlights, the drivers side light gets really bright, then goes out. Sometimes it comes on and flickers, then goes out after 5-20 minutes of driving. After some dis assembly and testing, I have...

So after over two years of labor and blowing money on parts and precious time, I tried to turn the engine over today. It did not crank. I do not hear the fuel pump cutting on when I turn the ignition switch. The starter is also not turning over. There is 12.5 volts going to the starter and the...

Hi. Something is up with my A/C. I noticed it in November, but now its getting hot so I've got to fix it... I checked the fuses, they look ok. I did the A/C general trouble-shoot from the repair manual, where you turn all the knobs to their bottom left positions and then hold down the in-car...
