Hello all, I was helping a friend recently with his 91 civic sedan (D15 engine code I think). The car wouldn't start so we went through the ususal things and finally arrived at the distributor. The contacts were corroded and we cleaned them as a temporary fix. Car started right up. I suggested...

I'm about to purchase a used Honda Accord and am wondering whether there are some model years which are preferable to others. I'm not keen on the styling of 1996 Hondas so I thought I would purchase something a little earlier or just a bit later. I want to spend somewhere between $4000 to $7500. ...

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how I can get this car started. Went on vacation last week and upon return my 1998 Accord Coupe V6 will not start. The battery seems to be fine and it cranks over the engine nicely. I have checked the cables, air filter, fuel cap, etc. Any ideas?

My demister doesn't work just when you needed it most. In the morning or evening, when its cold outside, if I try to switch the demister on, it won't work. However, I noticed if I drive during the mid-day or afternoon, when its not as cold. I can switch the demister on. And ideas what's wrong...

I went and got the oil changed on our new CR-V for the first time today. When I got home, my wife said that she'd received a mailing from Honda saying there was something particular the mechanic had to do to during the first oil change to keep the car safe. But now we can't find the...

Has anyone used one of those conversion kits to convert refrigerant from R12 to R134 on a 1990 Honda Accord AC system? Is it fairly simple? Any issues to be aware of? Frank

I brought the car in and the person that scanned the car said it was to do with the gas tank cap. He told me to always make sure I tighten it all the way until a few clicks. Which is what I always do. What other issues do you think it could be? I only use the reg gas. I had a person mention it...

Need to change AT fluid and filter on my 97 passport. "Hays Repair Manual" says 96 and later models require a special fluid temperture gauge to refill transmission. Anyone here understand the purpose for this? Anyone know of an alternative way of doing it. Manual says serious damage to...

Just got my 98 Accord back from body shop after a front-ender. Just wondering - is the hood supposed to have insulation under it? Because this one doesn't - it is bare metal (well, painted). Did they leave something off?

For over a year now I have been trying to find a design for a, for lack of a better term, "FI on dwell time indicator". My Civic has 2 injectors, main and aux. So I decided to use a WWII surplus dual meter that I have had " forever". I used a 1N4004 and a 5K resistor to isolate each meter from the...

Hey all, I just purchased a 93 Honda Accord EX with 142K mi. on it. The condition of the car seems to be fine except for one problem. When I try to shift from/to PARK, I have to give it a hard tug. The gear seems to get stuck between Park and the rest of the gears. I checked the transmission...
