The Ultimate Tune Up for a 200K+ Mile 2001-2005 Project Civic! | $500 02 Civic Build Pt. 22

Ok so a little tip for you: on the d17 manual transmission, once you've drained the oil, you can remove the reverse sensor on the top of the transmission to fill it. Those transmissions take exactly 2 quarts of honda mtf.

Oh shiiii. That’s good advice!! Thanks man!

My shit smells like gas on the inside and the outside when running. I've been meaning to pull up my seat and see if that seal is jacked. Yall are giving me inspiration. I am painting my 01 this weeked and if it turns out half decent, I think I am going to pursue some ebay upgrades like yall.

[@gridengine]

Dang bro. I’d rather do a fuel pump than two transmissions 😂

[@ptownalex5631]

@@gridengine well it was over the years. Plus I get the experience and knowledge

[@gridengine]

Oh yeah it’s ok if it’s over time. That’s dope man!

[@AskChristianYT]

Thanks for posting the video! 👍 Definitely gonna be swapping that fuel pump using your steps and see if it corrects that misfire code. You have a link to the one you bought?

One question bro,you know where’s located the pcv valve on 2003 honda civic hybrid?

[@gridengine]

Honestly dude, we don’t unfortunately… that’s a completely different engine than the one in our car 😕 looking at pictures of the 1.3 liter in your car, we can’t even see one in the usual spots…

hey what spring replacements should I get for the maxspeedingrods having a horrible knocking noise and don't want to cut my springs

[@gridengine]

Let us get back to you on that. We aren’t quite sure. Have you looked on the forums?

[@KingMateo12]

@@gridengine The knocking/clunking sound is actually normal and inevitable to fix. Happens to the ep3’s and rsx’s as well since we have the same chassis. It’s something with the springs i believe when you turn but it’s normal but can be annoying at times

@GridEngine hi guys! I don’t know how much you know about this but maybe you guys can help possibly..? Need help/answers/advice please gasoline leaking from manifold Hi! I have a 2002 Honda Civic (223,000km, LX, 1.7L) I have gasoline leaking out of the exhaust manifold does anyone know what the cause could be? Stuff that was already replaced: -replaced all 4 spark plugs -replaced Fuel injector (using codes) -put on a new manifold (last one had a crack in it) But it’s still leaking gasoline out my exhaust? Before replacing the list of part above it was -losing power/misfiring -white smoke out the tail pipe -engine vibrating/car vibrating -sounded like UEL headers on a Subaru -smelt like burning fuel All those issues have been resolved minus the gasoline leaking. I’ve searched high and low and have come across that maybe it’s possible the fuel pressure regulator? What do you guys think please help! thanks. :(

[@gridengine]

BRO. ours leaks gas too! Ours is modified so it’s tough to say what causes it, but we fixed ours with a thicker gasket that was a softer material. That at least keeps the gas in the exhaust. But mechanically, your car might have a bad o2 sensor. Those can cause rich conditions like what you’re describing.

[@NoahsArk4532]

@@gridengine mine is also modified! -4 to 1 DNA headers -After market cold air intake -Magnaflow Cat back exhaust What gasket are you referring too if you don’t mind me asking? It could be the O2 sensor yeah I didn’t installed new ones I just rescued my old ones that was on my ODM header. It’s spray fuel out of the manifold would a bad O2 cause something like that? I know you can only guess so much from word of mouth but thanks guys :)

[@gridengine]

Also, since your modified, the only way to truly make the rich condition go away is to get a real tune 😕 but the above mentioned gasket should help

[@NoahsArk4532]

@@gridengine OH one more question what tune would you guys recommend? I know literally 0 about tuning or what to buy or where to go.. haha 😅 maybe a future video?
