I put a 1.8 prelude motor into an older civic 4sp that originally had the 1100cc motor (76? 79?). Up to redline in 4th (maybe 80 at best) it was a 305-camaro killer. With the stock 12 inch tires on it it would burn rubber if you floored it while rolling in 1st, would burn heavy into 2nd, chirp a little into 3rd. Bigger engine into lighter car = magic. Torque-steered myself right off the road with that SOB.

I had to temporarily drive mine (auto) with a manual switch for the AWD- all or nothing. Going downhill the rear would slide before the front because the braking from the front would be transmitted through to the rear wheels. I would fishtail down hills that with the AWD functioning normally were no sweat. Took a pretty steep hill to notice. Sidehill under power would not tend to slide the rear more, or if so by much, I think.

Aw crap- did they use the correct alternator? Must be the H6 specific or all kinds of odd stuff happens. This is also a symptom of the throttle position sensor, easy fix to try, about 130 bucks. TPS can be tested in place with an ohmmeter and some patience, two more screws after getting to it to test and it is out. Not sure but the freeSSM software might be able to actually read the TPS position.

CRAP. Fuse blew again, it might be the rear-hatch switch wiring although I did open the hatch after replacing the fuse. Anyway, now the Security light is flashing, and the cruise light in the switch comes on but cruise only works for about 10 seconds. I am searching but not finding a thread where this was a symptom. I have to drive about 8 hours tomorrow, all freeway, and the cruise MUST be working or my back will be wrecked!

'04 was a year of change for the 4EAT, could be the month of manufacture is important to figure out what should be in there. Try going to www.car-part.com and look for a trans for your car and see if it asks for the month, and if it comes up wiuth different parts for late/early in the model year. -
I ask if all those things are on the same fuse, but am pretty sure they are not. Drove the car, everything worked, parked car, got in, no dome lights, no radio, trip meter had forgotten its mileage, clock had forgotten the time, heater controls had forgotten their settings. Instead of 2 beeps from locking with the fob, and getting a chirp after 3 clicks, it locks the doors but gives me 5 chirps. Were it not for the fact the radio does not work at all I'd guess simply it's the 'backup power' fuse, which isn't labeled as such and I have only checked the 15A radio fuse so far (it's good). Would you expect the radio to not work without the 'memory' 12V supply?
