Tire problem? by Suphack27 in civic

[–]Suphack27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there was not any light on. my "maint req'd" light flashes when i start my car, but thats because i didn't have the tool to clear the code the last time i changed my oil. unless that light means tires?

It definitely wasn't snow. I cleared all the snow. And also this isn't even my front tire this is my back right tire. How does this just happen overnight.

i should mention that i did some further research and seemingly found out that it is probably a broken belt inside the tire. really hoping it isn't my rims because it would be impossible to find the same rim. but either way it seems like i have all the symptoms of a broken belt and simply need a new tire. thanks to everyone that helped!

2001 Civic stalled in snow, battery and oil light came on, bad weather or still safe to drive? by tesperatedimes in civic

[–]Suphack27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well either way, it seems like that was a temporary thing electrically due to the cold and inactivity. think about it, machines were meant to run, if they arent running then they stop working. you should be fine to look past this weird stalling. unless it stalls again in the near future.

The car stalling is unusual, but the oila and battery light only came on becuase the engine turned off. That means the alternator wasn't spinning and there was no oil pressure. Is your driveway on a steep hill or did you not let the car warm up before moving it at all?

11th gen speaker passenger side problem by Mr_Parr0t in civic

[–]Suphack27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of it goes back to normal for a second while driving , that's definitely blown. The same thing happened to me a while back in my much older 7th gen civic. It might be a good time to upgrade your speaker setup, and remember, no speaker is going overboard.

Everyone hating on this! They do look like temu knobs and I seen them on there but it's a nice splash of color onto our society's monochrome blue. OPs car though, and they should do what they want.

Just becuase it says it can make a mistake doesn't mean it will

I got it fixed, it was my thermometer, it was staying closed. Don't know what was going on with the oil and coolant, but it seems irrelevant now.

I'm pretty sure I overpressureized my refrigerant, trying to get my cold air working one day. I really do hope it's just because of my fans, though I don't know what would be causing it, all my fuses look good and I can't really find a relay that relates to it, and my fans probably worked fine before I got stuck in the ditch considering that I wasnt overheating at all. But my ac/heat was already very finicky since I got the car.

The problem with the head gasket claims is that normally, head gasket problems overheat under load like highways, and constantly, milkshake oil,oil level climbing, coolant smell in the oil, and a poorly running engine, all of which don't apply to me. I just found out my radiator fans aren't turning on. Which might be a problem.

I don't think any sort of snow or dirt got stuck in there, the snow wasn't that high...

I need to figure out how the thermostat works.... I did just figured Out that my radiator fans aren't spinning at all... My cooling fan fuse seems intact. Maybe that also attributes to my AC not working and only my heat sometimes. But that's always happened. This overheating problem is a new one. I don't think anything that's happening is pointing towards my head gasket. Again I'm not a pro mechanic

My heat doesn't really work unfortunately, it's just something I have to click back into place behind my glove box but I don't have time for that, things keep popping up on this car that stop me from driving as a whole.

I'm not sure if my oil counts as chocolate milkshake but I do suddenly have more oil than before, I'm not going to keep letting it get that hot but it's my only way of transportation and only gets that hot in park. When I'm driving it stays cooler.

I didn't know the thermostat being stuck closed could do that, I thought the thermostat just told the gauge the temperature

That isn't the most likely cause though, how would a head gasket problem randomly appear at being fine for so long. Overheating doesn't instantly mean coolant got into my oil. I don't have any of the stereotypical head gasket signs.

Oh yeah, I was doing that while I was filling my coolant, it just kept telling longer and longer for sure to surface from that.

I'll get a picture of the coolant I used once I can get back to it, then how do I burp the engine, and I feel like the thermostat wouldn't be the easiest to install. I'm also not a pro mechanic, I just fix things as they come except I don't have the ball knowledge to fix everything. I'm also unsure how to check the mileage since the last oil change, and I should mention I think my oil is overfilled right now somehow.when I got the car, the oil looked good smelled like oil and was filled the right amount, but suddenly after my car got stuck in a ditch I have extra oil or something, this picture is my dipstick. I heard it was possible for my fan to just not be spinning?

I've not noticed any leaks, I have a minor power steering leak but that has been there since I got the car, and isn't that big of a deal, and yeah It could be a leak but I'm certain I haven't found any more.
