Unfortunately I broke my kneecap and will be in a brace for weeks. I can’t drive my 2022 Civic. Is it harmful to remote start it every couple of days and then let it stop on its own just to keep its juices flowing so to speak?

I’m not a “car guy”. Where would the vacuum line you suggested be located?

Interesting. I saw someplace that the injectors in the newer civics are positioned in such a way that some of the gas gets on the valve and helps keep it clean. I wish I could find that info again. I wonder if there is any truth to this. I want to keep my car in good shape but I'm not looking...

Is anyone aware of anybody running the 1.5T engine for 150,000-200,00 miles or more without ever having a performance issue due to carbon build up? I mean without any chemical or media blasting ever being done.

I haven't yet done this cleaning and I was wondering if it would be OK to remove the Mass Airflow Sensor and introduce the cleaner in the hole that's left. Will the car continue to run if I do that and is this a good idea. I know you're not supposed to get the cleaner on the MAF but since it's...

I’m considering getting some of that Honda branded rodent tape to wrap my engine wires before they start to snack on them. The damn stuff is EXPENSIVE! About $50 a roll! my problem is a hickory tree in my front yard. Every year it drops thousands of nuts (I called them acorns but more correctly...

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

I’ll check into getting the spray. Is it something that’s available on Amazon?

LOL!!!

Sorry for the typos. I need to check before I post.

been there, done that. I’ve put 40 drops of peppermint oils in a bottle of water and sprayed everything. Engine bay, wheel wells, trunk you name it. I gegen put it full strength on my cabin air filter. They keep coming back. But my car smells like chewing gum.

LOL!! At least my find wasn't alive! Thanks for the confirmation. I'm going to give it a try.

My original question was - where is the first entry point for the air before it gets to the air filter box. In the attached picture am I correct that this is what I'm looking for?. If so I want to try putting a piece of chicken wire to cover this. Am I correct and if so do you think it would...
