    One side of HID not working correctly

    I think you're on the right track - try switching ballasts. As for those wires...I just cut them off. Just make sure you cut the joined together ones.

    Tighten Gas Cap Warning

    It won't go away immediately after the cap is tightened. The car will have to run its evap system self test and pass for the light to go out. The gas cap check is usually done some 20 minutes after shut down, depending on conditions. If the warning stays on suspect a faulty purge solenoid valve...

    Pandora Issues?

    I think you may be right...I believe it has to do with music rights ownership and how different companies in the US and Canada own them. In a nut shell it the same reason that Netflix Canada blows...

    Fuse Tapping Not Working as Intended

    Re: circuits staying alive after the car is shut off - depending what model civic you have and where one chooses to tap into the circuit one could be adding the accessory into the bcan network. For instance, if you have an Si, you may have noticed that you can turn the car off, yet the moonroof...

    Dashboard Lights come on for no reason

    Sometimes the calibration is off from the factory. The dealer should re-calibrate the SWS (seat weight sensor) under warranty. The older Honda seat weight sensors were film type membrane that went between the seat cushion and seat cover. In the new cars the passenger's seat itself actually...

    What other cars did you consider before buying your Si?

    Actually had my heart set on an FRS. Wife works for a Scion store so I was looking at cost plus $500. Was underwhelmed when I drove it. Also considered KIA Optima, Ford Fusion, and Accord Sport.

    Ticking

    Looser valves are better to a point (better than too tight anyways) - too tight and the valves may burn, you can have a rough idle bad enough that the CEL can come on with a misfire code. Too loose is noisy, cylinders may not fill or empty as desired. From what I've seen from 2012 Si's the...

    stalled out on the highway

    Can't say for sure what your situation is/was, but the tiniest piece of debris on the maf sensor wires (internally) can cause all of those symptoms. Have also heard of rocker arm failures in 2013 si motors. Actually the snap ring that holds the VTEC piston in place fails and the piston could...

    Flashpro Problem

    Just so I'm clear - the "incorrect" programming that cause the sulfation is from Honda - I'm not implying that using flash pro has anything to do with the issue. I had mine reflashed for this issue before I even took delivery. Originally as designed the charging system did not charge the battery...

    Flashpro Problem

    There is a service bulletin for Civics and CR-V's for vehicles that have depleted batteries after a minimum of two days sitting or if the vehicle requires multiple jump starts. Incorrect PCM programming results potentially in battery sulfation, especially if the vehicle has been used primarily...

    :1: I've just added a K&N sri and an RV6 down pipe... lost a lot of torque down low where I like it. Just starting tuning with VitViper and already I'm happier.
