Sounds like you got a poor connection or your battery is not fully charged up,Did you replace cylinoid as well as starter.?

If it is cranking but just takes longer to start then that is not caused by the starter. May need a tune up and/or a fuel filter. May also want to check fuel pressure and listen for the fuel pump to turn on for about 2 seconds when the key is first turned on.

Assemble the clutch by installing the field coil with a snap ring. Align the clutch field coil with the index pins, then install the clutch spacer to adjust the clutch air cap on the compressor. Install the clutch plate. Place the A/C compressor back into its manifold assembly. Secure the bolts with a socket and ratchet, and place the manifold assembly back into the Integra. Install the serpentine drive belt by following the diagram located on the underside of the Integra's hood. Ensure the belt runs flat and smoothly amongst the pulley system. Pour PAG oil and refrigerant into the A/C unit. Check the A/C system for leaks and test the system. Here you can find quality a/c compressor http://www.1airconditioning.com/our_products.htm

did 'they' check the pressures on the low and high side after the compressor replacement? low pressure with a full charge on the low side would indicate a blockage. unless you had massive compressor failure (metal shavings in the lines) then most likely the condenser is O.K. the most common problem is the expansion valve sticks and doesn't allow the refrigerant to circulate fast enough to cool.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

The rear power transistor is the problem when this happens. The screen on the blower motor gets dirty and overheats the transistor and blows it out. So you need to get it checked whether the transistor is bad or not. Check this link to get it enquired by your own:-

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

Check your tyres pressure, too low a tyre pressure can cause this also if you have power steering make sure oil is full and you have no leaks,

replace the defective thermal expansion valve!

Sound like a short in the steering column, probably a bad horn contact. Could also be something wrong with your wiring... but probably the contact.

It's the horn contact on the brass ring. Mine does the same exact thing, slightly to the left and it works. Once you pull the wheel off, you'll see it. There is a small piece that's spring loaded that makes contact with the brass ring. You can try to clean it, and even stretch the spring, but it still didn't really fix it for me. I might just break down and get the parts and fix it right. Simple though, and you'll see everything once the wheel is off.

There is an easy fix no parts needed (generic procedure):
1. Remove steering wheel
2. Remove brass ring attached to the back of the steering wheel (three small phillips screws)
3. Reinstall brass ring with three small washers under the ring and tighten the screws.
4. Reinstall steering wheel.
5. Honk the horn till you neighbors complain.

Hope helps.

Sounds like your shift cable has come loose. Take it to your local mechanic. It should be a cheap fix. Hope this helps. James Booth

Hey woody! Here I am as promised.
When you looked for the IAC control in your Verus, did you look under the main engine menue? There should be a tab that says either "OUTPUT CONTROLS" or "FUNCTIONAL TESTS" The IAC control should be under one of these.

Really all you can do is open up the door panel and wedge a piece of wood or something under the window to hold it up. Your best bet is to get a trash bag/tarp/etc and shut it inside of the door so that it is held in place and covers the window.

Sounds like it was flooded. Next time it happens. keep gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold until it fires. water in the gas, or just bad gas can do this. But if you pumped it at all while trying to start it if fuel injected can flood it. Let it sit and try again, or keep gas pedal to ground and hold until starts.

What model do you have? There is a temperature sensor in some models.

YOU NEED TO REMOVE IGNITION COILS ON TOP OF SPARK PLUGS.YOU WILL NEED A 3/8 INCH LONG EXTENSION AND A LONG SPARK PLUG SOCKET TO REACH PLUG IN THE CYLINDER HEAD.

Ok...not sure if you have put the refrigerant with the uv light fluid...as this would be the best option, although this is a very major leak so you should be either hearing it, or there should be some residual dampness wither at the connections, or ath the evaporator....

Hey,

Can you send through the car model and type? Usually though for cars the fuse box is located driver side either underneath the dash or on the side of the car next to teh steering column.
