Ok guys you all should be proud of me I finaly got off my lazy ass to work on the 3gee because this site is so inspriational that i finaly want my 3gee looking "TIGHT" well I ran into 2 problems so far.

1) When i turn off the car the back lights stay on meaning the back brake light and the right brake light im not to sure the specfic names are but the 1 brake light is the 1 inside the trunk on the hatch windsheild.

2) When the car is parked it revs like crazy.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

brake pedal light switch is stuck... pull up on the brake pedal to see if they go off.

if its a rough idle then do a tune up......

Good luck.

Its not the switch thats what i though it was at first well tomorrow im going to check all the fuses. Who knows but the Rev thing my dad told me might be a Sensor because the old hondas have bad sensors.

It revs up and down? Then clean the fast idle valve and check that your cooling system has no air (i.e., bleed the cooling system).
