95 Civic LX Intake Air Temperature Sensor
Hi...
Can any one please tell me whether a bad Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IAT) or a bad TW (Coolant Temperature sensor, or Water Temperature Sensor) will cause the engine not to fire up? I've read that these two sensors can affect injector pulse width? It seems that I'm getting too much fuel into the combustion chambers, thus after a few cranks of the engine, the combustion chambers are flooded (spark plugs soaking wet with fuel) and the engine won't start. The spark plugs do produce strong sparks. So I'm quite sure it's not an ignition problem. Iit seems like more fuel than necessary is injected - that's why I'm wondering whether a bad IAT or TW can cause this problem. Thanks. |

Has anyone bought an Oxygen sensor from this company?
They have the best price I've found for a direct replacement on my 94 VX. |

Carry along tool kit
I'm trying to put together a small tool kit. Something to fit in
the area above the spare. I'd like to have enough to cover any quick fix situations. I've come up with : Combo screwdriver, my small ratchet & a few sockets (which ones most usable for a Civic?), medium Channellocks. So, what do the rest of you carry? |
