    Ok so I don’t have an Insight. I have a Honda Civic Hybrid 2003, but i’ve posted on multiple different forums and on Reddit and have gotten no help. I’m desperate.

    Hello everyone I have been running my Silver 2000 Insight 5MT with the IMA bypassed for about a year or so.

  8. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I just got my oil changed on my 2000 insight with 256k miles. After I picked the car up, the IMA is not working. I have an IMA bypass, because the car doesn’t start with it connected (key issue with a part that isn’t made anymore, can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called). Any...

    So I have an insight without an IMA system working and it says 43.7 mpg and I’m thinking of buying one with everything working but it also says 43.7 mpg. Any idea if it’s the special number for non working IMA?? Or why do they match mpg if one has the IMA system helping.

    I have a 2003 MT Insight that I plan to keep on the road . . . forever. It started throwing codes and engine/IMA lights shortly after I bought it about 10 years ago. Got a lot of help from people on this forum. Brought it to a "hybrid shop," sticks analyzed and ??rebalanced, but ultimately...

    I purchased this car about 8 months ago (2000 model) with a non working IMA. Previous owner already bypassed it to run on gas only. I’ve been trying to get the IMA operable again. Bought a grid charger and done all that stuff and it seemed to bring the batteries back to life. However the IMA...

    Hello, I purchased my 2000 Insight nearly a year ago, and one of the previous owners replaced the original battery pack with one out of a salvage vehicle. The previous owner gave me the old pack with the car, and it has been sitting in my garage since I brought it home. Is there anyone that...
