Re: civic 2001 si electric problem

Have you checked to make sure the battery cables are clean and tight? Do the battery cables have molded ends or are the terminals clamped on to exposed copper wire?

You mention the car "accelerated along" but yet you seem more concerned about the electrical problem, so I'm suspecting the acceleration wasn't as dramatic as it sounds. Please describe what happened more.

Re: civic 2001 si electric problem

well like you said, the acceleration isn't that bad, the idle just goes down and up until i hangage the clutch but the electric problem is really bad, i worked on the car the other day and the wire for the battery seem OK. i can tell you what happened few minutes before the car became strange, the battery light turned on and off and then it stop few second before the bug. then the abs light flashed and then the car went crazy, the radio flashed, rpm, heat gauge and gaz gauge speedo all turned off and on until i was back home i tried turning the car off and on on the road and nothing changed
