I have a 2005 honda civic model Ex, my mom put $5,000 and the previous owner that had it before her but double the amount, I was so excited and had hope after you explained how your neighbor's car stopped working because that's the same exact thing that happened to the car I have now! I'm 16 and been saving up to fix it but if this works its going to be a slap in the face to everyone who told me "I don't know anything" "that car won't work" and "you really think YOU can fix it?" Man ill come back to this comment if it works 😂 if not then sheeshh ill update
this guy makes learning fun
this video is incredible. i hope it works on my car………… 1998 honda civic. just lucky it's the exact same one! thanks buddy!
Nice to see a good car going back to the road! Keep them going good job.
This is so cool
Chris great video , I have a problem with my Mitsubishi Eclipse 2003 spyder, it seems that the computer went bad as it cranks but it won’t start, my question is when replacing the computer do you need to reprogram it??
Thanks ! Greetings from Chicago!🙋🏻♂️
Oil flush & tune up next👍
this man saved me 500$
Free car owner:- how much money does it need to fix this car?
Mechanic:- Yes
ChrisFix:- No
My grandpa faced and not enough spark
Why didn't you show what is his reaction???? 🙁
very informative video. Thanks
You are the man!
Thank you very much, without you i would never have repaired the car
4:46 That's what she said.
My 93 del Sol did that last year. It was the distributor. Cost $600.
You videos are great you do an excellent job at discerning everything it just makes things so much easier to understand for beginners like me thanks
Could you do an engine sludge clean?
Is it possible for fuel lines to get clogged up? I got a car that cranks but won’t turn on unless I use starting fluid. I replaced the fuel pump and noticed the tank was really dirty tried to take all the old gas out and put new one but car still doesn’t turn on
you should have shown your neighbors reaction that you fixed it with ease
I had a similar issue on my 2005 civic – as it turned out, the problem was in the immobilizer that went bad and stopped recognizing the key. Just one more thing that can go wrong!
I just wish ChrisFix did Motorcycles I really need help on starting a motorcycle and no youtuber has all the diagnosis like Chris does for every aspect of car repair.
Now his neightbour can go back to the mechanic with this video and a baseball bat…
if my steering wheel vibrates could that be a sign that my timing belt is loose
My 99 civic lx cranked but didn't start like this one. Turned out it was the ignition fuse lol.
Did you give his car back?
I was almst able to fix mine.. but i paid for it so it wouldnt start :/
Your neighbor excited? I'd be pissed about all the money I spent at the shop just to not get the problem resolved then buying a new car, instead of taking it to you right next door in the first place. Just to have it fixed in a damn hour. Unreal lol. Very good job ChrisFix.
i wish modern cars were this easy, my 2007 nissan sentra was a royal pain in the ass for changing the timing chain.
Was it the relay? (Trying to guess here) nope
Nice channel. I am gonna get a used car soon and this is a good place to learn how not to be a loser and fix your car yourself. Subbed. Now I need to watch all the videos
…Ya know, I can't help but ponder how much headway people would make on getting scamming mechanics to actually do their jobs or go out of business if they watched videos like this on how relatively inexpensive and quick it is to do basic maintenance on their cars. I understand not everyone has the time or access to resources but still this 16 minute video may save me hundreds in the future on repairs
Time to clean all that sludge
You Rock Brother!! Your technique is so easy to apply. Well you make it look easy! Thanx!
but why did it get loose? maybe the tightener is bad and will get loose again?
shouldve checked that too
Wow that's awesome Chris
What would cause the belt to get that loose?
The fact that Cris still reacts to comments even on a 2 year old video, huge respect my bro.
