Go to Advance Auto parts or AutoZone and they will scan your code with a scanner for no charge. If you have a CEL or transmission code for a faulty VSS, you may have a problem with your VSS or the wiring going to the VSS.[/quote]
I checked with AutoZone, they told me no autozone does free scans anymore, you have to find the code and they will tell you what it means.[/quote]AdvanceAuto should. If not then take it to an auto shop and they should scan it for like 5$.
You can look the code up on the internet too.[/quote]
I need to code to look it up though, i found a scanner for like 20$ that will find the codes, i don’t know if it will erase them or turn off the light, but autozone could do that if i knew the problem.[quote=”Mishakol129″ post=33468][quote=”ohemgeeman” post=33464][quote=”Mishakol129″ post=33461][quote=”NorfolkBMX” post=33455]I Am the owner of a 1995 Honda Civic Dx and have a very similar problem except my speedometer almost never works and sometimes it will randomly just click on and start working for a few minutes and just die out. i do not have a code scanner to figure out the service code but need help with this issue bad. please help[/quote]

That’s not such a bad price if they do everything right. Was that just for the gasket right? It took me 4 hours to put mine on.
Like I said though, make sure where the leak is coming from. If you are low on cash you can do 2 things; check and see exactly HOW MUCH oil you are losing from the leak and see how long you can go without doing the job (see if you can prolong); or 2, take the liberty of doing the job yourself.
Where do you live man, its 2 AM where I am now.[/quote]
I’m in southern California, i just bought this car a week ago, i just got my license a week ago, i am only 18 and i am just now finding out all these costs, i have a decent paying job its just, i have other things i need to pay for, and they wanted 105$ to find where the leak was(That is just a base price) and then somewhere around 250$ to fix it depending on how to fix it, not to mention thats not my only problem, the problem with my spark plugs i kinda was able to fix myself, i guess you need to apply a little pressure to get the spark plug wires into the wells so they “snap in” i guess, sorry if that seemed like a stupid thing not to know, but my engine fires up just fine and doesn’t shake, but there is still the oil leak and oil on the ends of the rubber wires.[quote=”Mishakol129″ post=33467][quote=”ohemgeeman” post=33465]I took it to the dealer and asked how much it would cost to fix the oil pan thing and they were trying to charge me 250$, which to me sounds ridiculous, i just don’t know any mechanics around my area that are trustworthy.[/quote]

Would the oil getting on those plugs possibly be able to leak out onto the ground under my car? Cause i keep leaving oil on the ground i thought it was my oil pan but the dealership said otherwise.

My problem is its not that its not working because it actually moves when it is at the bottom, it just doesn’t act like its supposed to, it will go further in the wrong direction till it sits under the stopper at 0, and then when its idle it sits right on top of the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED spot and bounces back and forth, i was told by the dealer that my CEL should have came on, and i just now found out my light is burnt out so i’m at a stand still here and don’t know what to do.
