1990 Honda Accord radiator drain cock broke off, wing portion gone, threaded portion still in the radiator. Any thoughts on best way to remove? drill and easy out? thanks Frank

Got a check engine light and a P1457 code on a 97 accord. Code indicates a EVAP canister type problem. Check order least evasive to most evasive; gas cap, hoses to and from the canister and vaccum manifold and throttle body, solenoid valve to the throttle body, two way valve at the fuel...

I'm about to install a new power window regulating assembly on my '97 accord. Should the edges of the window or the sash guide be lubricated? Some paste wax maybe? something with silicone? any suggestions or leave it clean and dry. Frank

i was at the dealer this morning and asked about the CR-V, whether it will get a full redesign for 07 to catch the Rav 4. Salesperson indicated it would but they had no info yet. Is there anything out there on that? Was it shown at any auto shows? I'm in the market and trying to decide whether...

Anyone ever try to take apart and repair/rebuild the door lock relay on a 90 or thereabouts accord. My doors lock individually but do not lock all together from the drivers seat or the key. Manual indicates it is that relay. Before I take the panel off, I wonder if I should just buy a...

Son has 94 accord four cylinder VTEC. Was visiting for the holidays. As he was warming up the car to start back I asked if he had checked oil. He said, no good idea so we turned off the engine waited about two minutes and then checked. Showed more than a quart low. He was alarmed but had just...

Replaced the CV drive shaft (passenger side) on '97 accord yesterday. First time I've done one and it was easier than I had anticipated. Even though FAQ says removing damper fork not necessary I was nervous about getting it out and went ahead and removed it. Only took a couple of minutes to...

Did the replacement today. The radiator will easily come out with both fans attached. I replaced all the hoses when replacing the radiator. Hardest part was getting the bypass hose off with those awful factory spring clamps. They are very difficult to get to. Be prepared to replace with the...

My 97 accord has a busted boot on the outer right side cv joint. It is sounding off on turns and acceleration.I plan to replace the drive axle, but, although I've done a lot of work on this car and my '90 accord, i've never done one of these. What actually has to come off? My haynes says the...

So the cruise control stopped working on my 90 Accord. Went through diagnostics on fuse, cruise main switch, both OK then started through the list on the cruise control module input harness. Got to the clutch terminal and got a fault (no continuity to ground). Checked the clutch switch which is...

Well, I took the drivers side door panel off to fix the lock controller and took another stab at glueing back the fabric while I had it dissassembled. Cleaned the entire area with adhesive remover, then acetone. When dry, sanded with an RA sander with contour pad and 100 grit paper. Applied 3M...

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 changed the master cylinder this weekend and was concerned when no one at the parts store seem to know anything about the adjustment of the booster rod. I have a factory manual for my 90 accord and Honda makes such a mystery out of it with the special tool that I was concerned when they told me...

So the Radiator boils over on my 97 Accord, and I start the diagnosis process, T-stat is OK so I get to step two and find that the rad.fan motor does not respond to direct voltage except for an initial turn. So I replace the motor and all is well. I decide to pull the back off of the old motor see...

95 Accord 4 cyl 5 speed. My speedo is stuck on 30Kph/20mph with the ignition on. Does anybody know where speed sensor is located and how many leads there are. I only see a 2 lead plug on top of the manual tranny and figure this is the reverse gear switch. Frank

Looking for opinions as to what is the easiest color to keep clean. IE,..black in my opinion dirties quickly and also seems to spider web and its hard to keep a glossy finish. I'm picking up a new Civic shortly and what to go with the most trouble free finish.

The new Civic body style, especially the Coupe is just excellent. Much better than the Accord's. They have changed the horrible tail lights on the Accord, but it still just does not do much for me. Of course this has nothing to do with peformance, but that's not really important is it? The...

I have a 1999 Odyssey which we bought new. It now has 109K miles. My son has been driving it, and reported that the transmission sometimes slips. I took it to the dealer and they said they got the transmission to slip, the codes reported by the transmission indicated a failing clutch, and that...
