Why does my Civic’s check engine light come on when I start it?

Why does my Honda engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Honda Civic. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Honda Civic engine?

Can I add water to my Honda Civic radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Civic when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my Civic engine to suddenly stop?
