My sister has an 05ish Civic base model, give or take a year. She had an accident today where she hit her front bumper on a guard rail. She said it looked like it just screwed the bumper up so she kept driving. After a little while she said her Coolant Warning light came on so she pulled over and shut the car off. I told her it sounds like if she shut it off right when it came on, she may not have a blown headgasket but just a cracked radiator, but that I have the tools to do a compression test on it.
Anyways my question is, what would the stock figures be for a motor they put in that generation of Civic? Also, I know on older cars it's easy to pull a coil wire and fuel supply so the engine could be compression tested w/o the engine wanting to fire up and run. I've never seen the engine in this car so I don't know what it's like, but could someone maybe suggest some fuses to pull, and where they are to kill power to the fuel pump, and if it has a traditional distributor so the coil wire could be pulled as well, or does it have COP, necessitating pulling maybe a fuse for the ignition? The car isn't anywhere near my house so it's not like I can just drive up there real fast and if I missed something and need to Google it, I can just run right back home. So I need to go out there armed with as much knowledge as possible, and so I know to take all the tools with me I'd need.
