#6381 of 13114 clunk by lelandhendrix Dec 03, 2003 (1:11 am)
Try turning the car but don't start it (all the lights come on) for about 15-30 seconds. Does the clunk occur then, before you activate the starter? If so, turn the car back off and then on again and see if it duplicates without ever starting the car.   If no clunk, then after you've waited about 20-30 seconds of being on, THEN start the car and note how long it takes before you hear the sound. Let us know if you feel the clunk as well, and if you feel it in the pedals or the wheel.

that doesn't seem right... I've gottn over 40mpg on the highway in my 4cyl EX... It's a manual, but it shouldn't matter since the final drive ratios are about the same(I think they are the same)... On all highway driving(all 55-65mph) try setting the cruise control and just being easy with the gas... about the only time my mileage dips down that far on the highway is when I basically drive in 3rd and 4th gear because someone seriously irritates me...
#6383 of 13114 Changing ATF by mikefm58 Dec 03, 2003 (5:04 am)
Thx BBurton3, changing ATF on my '01 Accord will be just like my '99 CRV, much easier than changing the engine oil.
#6384 of 13114 Honda Accord 2K Starting problems (continued) by chandrak Dec 03, 2003 (9:04 am)
OMG, its back again and I had nightmares all through last night. Temperature in the boston area dropped very sharply 2 days back and I approaced my 2k Accord SE, 25k miles (warranty expired a month back!) with skepticism.   I turned on the ignition and the car started cranking. But, within a few tries (less than 10 cranks) the car fired up. I dont use the car on the highway and my commute is only 4miles. This is happening each time I cold start the car (after 10-12 hours).   This morning, I intentionally started out late at around 11am to see if the bright sun might help me a little. The car cranked for 5-6 times (generally it starts within 3). After 6 of such starts, the car came to life. The battery light is lit, dashboard shows no red lights. This seems to happen ONLY when its really cold, anythoughts.   I went through pages 204,205,206 starting from my post 4027. I confess that I dont understand many of the things spoken since I aint that technical. Since my warranty has expired, I cant take it to the dealer but will try a local mechanic.
#6385 of 13114 Crunchy noises from the doors and and window rattling by ruhailb Dec 03, 2003 (6:55 pm)
I was wondering if anyone else has also been the same problem with accord 03 that I do. crunchy sounds coming from the overhead visors area, door panels, and the window(passenger side) rattling. After the car has been in for repairs 4 or 5 times for the same problem, it has not been fixed yet. Will appreciate much if someone who experienced the same, can share. Thanks.
#6386 of 13114 chandrak / Hard Starting by atlantabenny Dec 03, 2003 (8:17 pm)
Since you drive only 4 miles each way, the most likely scenario is that the battery is unable to charge fully, especially after the power-sapping morning start and at night with all lights on.   As a result, the battery has weakened at a faster than usual rate. Low temperatures have an added weakening effect on the battery.   Just replace with a new battery, one with higher amperage (store will know this) for added cranking juice.
#6387 of 13114 Dumb question department by snakehair Dec 04, 2003 (3:32 am)
We recently went to an Accord from a Dodge Grand Caravan (the other car is a Toyota Highlander) and the wife is complaining the power passenger seat is too low and not adjustable for height (she sits on a pillow). Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the seat height (permanently) with spacers or washers and where this might get done (type of business)? Thanks for the help.

My front passenger window rattled since the car was new (July 2003)& was driving me crazy. Then I realized that if I just hit the down button the slightest amount possible, the rattle went away, but the window is still sealed from wind & rain. Regarding the crunching noise by the sun visors, I also had that. It came from the adhesive holding the headliner in place. The sound went away after about 3 months in my car. Good luck!
#6389 of 13114 starting in cold weather by kareshi Dec 04, 2003 (11:28 am)
When I start the car in very cold temperature, everything is slow, including the engine. You can hear it take longer to start, the LCD display responses slower.
