Try maybe car-part.com or ebay, you might have some luck there.

it's probably the wheel speed sensor or whatever like everyone else, just search through the problems and fixes threads
i have the same problem, but i never tried to fix mine, cuz i'd rather not have abs
and the sound is something like the abs system starting up and trying to work, and then shutting itself down or something, don't worry about it, unless you like abs
i've had mine not working for about 2 years with no other problems resulting from that

and as far as gas i just use 87, i don't notice a difference in mpg or how it runs when i use any higher

My previous hondas i always used 89. 87 was like water to me and 93 didnt make sense for the car.

@ 97BlackACkCL do you notice any differences?

Better gas mileage, using a k&n filter, cold air intake, and Iridium plugs

I only use 93 in both my vehicles, it definitely gives better gas mileage in my opinion

I am sure there is a million threads on this but how do you oil up ya window?

when it goes down on a sunny day it takes forever and when it goes down on a rainy day it seems to go down smooth.?!

Does anyone have a picture of the diagram for the fusebox under the hood of a 2.3? I mean the little picture on the inside of the cover that shows you what fuse is for what. For some reason the diagram in mine is in french so I don't know what's what

Hahah, I can see where you made the mistake. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll call that bitch back after all and at least buy the rims/tires for $100, then she'll really be fucked

If your motors are bad and slowing down then lubing your window tracks won't help much.

Spray some silicone lube spray in the tracks, but if they're going real slow the motors (regulators) might be going bad

I use silicone spray on the side track of the window. When I put in a new regulator I lubed up all of the moving parts with white lithium grease. I haven't found too much that helps. From my experience, my windows go down the smoothest when they are clean and after I apply rain-x on them

^ when my windows really slow down when going down, and make a screeching noise sometimes, it's the weatherstripping on the outside catching on the window
so best bet is to use some sort of wax or something to make it smoother, and not catch
...if this doesn't make sense i'll try and take pictures of mine next time it does it.

Or you get me to buy you new window regulators

They'll ship today, btw, Mitch, when I get off work, around 3 EST...

Sorry, Mitch doesn't like paying 3-4x US cost for a regulator, just because he's across the border... I can't say I blame him either.

On the US ebay, they're around $45 each shipped. On Ebay Canada, they're around $150+ship each, IIRC.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my intake question. I installed a short ram about a month ago, and for the first week, the throttle response was really nice. But as time went on, everytime I accelerated, it didn't seem to have the same kick. It feels the same as with the stock, but with that loud sound. The push isn't there like it was before.
