I've had a hard time finding a good resource that explains the best shifting points for highest fuel economy using this engine under various loads, so here is a hypothetical set of test conditions (substitute your own specs if you have some relevant numbers): Load: '05 Accord LX, 5M (unloaded...

I removed all head studs, belts and even removed the cam and the head still won't come off. I even went as far as beating it with a plastic mallet - doesn't move a hair. Removed still the entire intake manifold with no progress. Sprayed the hell out of the seam with PB blaster. Not breaking free....

I have a '93 Accord 10th Anniversary Ed. Automatic. I've owed the car for about 6 months and I have a couple of different problems that I hope someone can help with. 1) The engine has a rough idle when warm (500-750 rpms). When I shift out of gear and into Neutral or Park it smooths out quite a...

I go to get into the car, and my belt started to whine - but this was usual, I just haven't had a chance to adjust the belt tension since initially putting a new belt on. I drove less than 20 feet, and the car jolted to a stall. I say "alright, perhaps I just killed it, no problem" and tried to...

The detent (or checker rod) is broken on the driver's door of my '93 Honda Accord. Has anyone ever replaced one of these? Thanks

Pinging on very moderate acceleration on level road. Cleaned plenum. Cleaned EGR port. Replaced EGR valve. Ran like butter for about 6 weeks and pinging gradually returned. Repeat procedure. Same exact set of results 2 times now. Only...he--hem..."high-test" will stop the pinging. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, My Honda Civic 1984 (Auto) timing belt is just broken. Mechanic said that it can replace it with for about $280.0, but he said there is a chance that the valves and pistons are damaged as well as a result and repairing those could cost up to $1600. If valves and pistons are damaged, I...

Hello, I used to go to the Honda dealer to have the oil changes, but now have considered ogoing to this Goodyear wood & fullterton place in Georgia that is AAA rated. These guys use Kendall motor oil. I believe the dealer uses a different brand, pennzoil (spelling?). Are these comparable?

I have a 1990 Civic Standard (hatchback) with aobut 150K miles, and am about ready for my 3rd set of rotors. (The problem is warpage.) Should I consider drilled/slotted rotors, rather than another set of OEM rotors? If so, does anyone have brands or vendors (eBay?) to recommend? Thanks in...

I purchased a 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 from a private seller in April 2005 with 50K. Since buying this car I have had the EGR valve replaced twice, and the check engine light has still come on, only to go back off before I can get it to the dealer. My car also has a light whiney sound in behind...

Hi all, OK. After spending a couple hours and over a hundred bucks doing yearly maintenance, I can't get the little rotor off. It's held on by one philips screw and I'm afraid I'm stripping the thing by trying to get it off. The edge of the rotor is good and straight, but a little frayed. I WANT...

Hello all, I've had my '88 2dr 5spd for 7 years now and have done almost all my own work on it. I don't have much experience with suspension work, however, and now it's time to dive in. I need to replace the front axles, and I figure I might do the shocks since I'm in there already. (They don't...

Hi, I have a 1998 Accord V6, and have recently got the "Check Engine Light". Since I have the OBD II decoder, I got the code out, and found that it is P0401 - EGR Flow Insufficient". From a little research on google, found that this might be a known Honda Issue (TSB-99-085) and Honda has a recall...
