Default 1998 Accord EX V6 and 2000 EX-L V6

98 Accord: I have an EX V-6 coupe. Notable to me are the INSUFFICIENT
EGR flow problem - pinging and not passing emissions. Main relay
failure - car won't start. Failed fuel sending unit - low gas light
quits and gauge reading is specious. Ignition switch failure - car
shuts off while driving. I dealt with all of those...or need to :-)
Any more? Anyone? OOOH! Also at that mileage i wouldn't buy it
unless it has just had a complete timing belt/water pump/etc job. Or
get 'em to figure it in. that's worth about $$800 I think and the book
says change them NOW!!!! I got 125000 out of my TB and the dealer was
surprised saying they usually failed sooner than later and I was a rare
case. but my car had 81000k at purchase and all were highway.
