Replying to: ramida (Dec 05, 2005 6:40 am) Here we have an excellent example of an unsolicited testimonial: - - - for the manual transmission.......... IMHO these are far too few, suggesting that perhaps "shiftless" folk enjoy a superior breeding environment................  ..best, ez.. |

Saturday my daughter started up our old '95 Accord, and shut it off withing 5-10 seconds (she was not aware that we're suppose to drive the other, new '05 Accord). The car was not driven since. This morning the car simply REFUSED to start... Even though we had a very cold night, the battery was fine, and the starter kept crancking like crazy, but the engine would not "catch". I kept pushing the gas pedal all the way down, till finally the engine was able to "catch" and slowly, caughing, it started running... I drove the car for 10 minutes and it was driving fine, and later started up fine again. This happened to me in the past with my Volvo 850, and in a warm day, so it seems like it has nothing to do with weather, or the kind of car... What I don't understand is -- TECHNICALLY, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? |

Hi guys, I don't usually go to this forum, but my GF is driving an old honda accord lx 1988 model and she had some problems with the car in the snow yesterday after a snow storm passed by. Her car slipped twice when she was using the brakes and not using the brakes. What tires would you guys recommend for her specific car since it is quite old. And no, getting a new car is not gonna help, she's a med student with lots of loans, a cheaper solution would be preferred. Thanks.

Replying to: altair4 (Dec 05, 2005 11:05 am) A. I never have ANY problem starting up the car, even on these freezing days. The tank was full, which is supposed to prevent problems on freezing weather. Also, the same exact thing happened to me on my Volvo, and it was on a warm day, I think in spring. B. If the car did FLOOD (I thought only Carburatered car flood...) It sure had time to dry since Saturday till this morning, no? Still mysterious to me...

Since it started after holding at WOT, it sounds like it was flooded in one way or another. Holding the throttle open started it though. You can flood a fuel injected car. Especially when the car is cold and the computer is running the engine richer than normal. |

Hi listings: I have a 97 Honda Accord LX 4drs sedan. I try to fix things myself, like changing timebelt, water pump, brakes and so on. Any manuals (or books) you recommend for this specific model. Appreciate for your reply. Shadingding2 |
