  1. Due to reduced performance, rough idle and random engine knocks I thought of doing an Engine tuning last weekend. My check engine issue was there all this time and I didn't try to fix it. Since the person who does the engine tuning good with identifying issues with the scanner, I asked him to have look. As @PerfMad explain to me, we found OBD1 green color 3 pin connector hidden near ECU in a cover on passenger side. (Mystery solved) I had 3 error codes related to MAP sensor & Both Knock Sensors. (Not sure the engine has 2 knock sensors) MAP sensor error went away after the cleaning and we checked it while driving and results looks normal (No sensor replacement required). It seems like both knock sensor wires were unplugged since no data can be read from the scanner. Found one located in the back of the engine just above the oil filter I have to take the car to a different mechanic to find and connect the wires first. I will update the thread once this is done.
  2. Hi Experts, I'm using a honda civic ek3 for past 8 years. YOM 1996 and currently 214690 on the ODO (D15B EFI Engine / Manual) My problem is now when i accelerate beyond 2000 RPM and hold it in there (In Idle & Also while driving) check engine comes up. I don't notice any difference in drive or fuel consumption when this happens. Once I turn off the ignition check engine sign disappear. If I keep it under 2000 RPM check engine sign never show up. Funny thing is no one can find a OBD1 or OBD2 port on the car to scan it. So scanning the car is not possible. Today I have changed the TPS as instructed by my mechanic. But issue was still same. I haven't done a engine tuneup in a while but since there is no problem with fuel efficiency & engine performance i don't think it's necessary. (Correct me if i'm wrong) Fuel filter haven't been changed for the entire time. Services are done on correct mileage and recent one done on last week. Did the emission test last week and no problems in that report. Can someone help me to figure out what's going on with my car ? Thanks in advance !
  3. Brand: GT Radial Model: Champiro 50 Size: 195/50/15 Price: 12,900 Purchased on 3rd of May.
  4. I would like to suggest Honda Civic EK3 for that price range. Relaiable, Excelent handling, avarage fuel consumption and Parts are freely available.
  5. The red & Blue flash lights you bought from ebay is not going to make you a V*P. Stop using them !
  6. According to this your car should have a CVT gear box http://www.civic-ferio.info/specs/1998_sep/ Do you have the Ferio badge ? If its not a Ferio I might be wrong.
  7. I also have doubt about the mileage. Your mechanics idea is not so bad since fuel pump and fuel filters might cause this since due to its age.
  8. Fixing the A/C, one part at a time :(

    1. Magnum

      Theres an epic place in Kandy for A/C work

  9. Bought a recon compressor for my ek3 today from a place called Sasmitha compressor house in Navinna. It cost me 11,500/=
  10. Check the starter motor solonoide and starter motor condition before moving into sensor replacement.
  11. Don't think it will help you because I'm in Galle. But I remember a place called "TEPSCO Air Conditioning" on nawala road mentioned for a similar kind of a job.
  12. Looks like the A/C place not did a proper job on your vehicle. Check the cooler and A/C filter for leaks and check the condition of the cooler. Pressure can be build up because of any existing blocks on the system. But on a full service they should remove everything and clean them to prevent any blockage. The original small condenser is not enough for the heat we have on these days. But it's not very bad either if it's in good condition. Did a full service yesterday for my EK3 which has a smaller condenser. Recondition original cooler - Rs. 6500/= A/C filter - Rs. 850/= They had bigger condensers for Rs.6500/=
