I had my timing belt was replaced 3,000 miles ago. It recently broke and the shop that installed it is refusing to take any responsibility. Neither they, or the Honda dealership could find any reason that this happened. Since they had not found any other reason the shop that did the work said the pr…

To answer a couple of questions you asked, the actual shift points are determined by the PCM based on inputs from the engine and transmission. The biggest factors are throttle position and manifold vacuum but there are others. It could be that if this is a newly remanufactured engine (reman), that…

A cycling AC compressor indicates the AC system is low on refrigerant. Tester

Last thing: new engine. Don’t know how best to describe this noise but it seems like a background vibration to the sound of the engine. It seems to vibrate more and then less on about 1 second intervals and is higher pitched the faster I go. Is this something rubbing?

Lots of great things in this chat, just read every post and have a little to add.
