thats it, after car is warm remove those 2 screws put your finger over the hole and there should be no vacuum.
#6433 of 13114 VERY VERY VERY Bad Luck by lelandhendrix Dec 13, 2003 (1:41 am)
My 2003 Accord Sedan was stolen from my driveway last night. Worst part is, they had stolen a key from my apartment (long story).   They drove the car and then jumped a curb and hit a small tree.   I have the car back from the police now, and there is some damage. The aftermarket rims and tires are ruined on the passenger side, where it looks like they skidded sideways onto a curb. There was a loud roar from the rear at over 20mph, and the dealer is ordering a wheel bearing for the pass-rear position. Other than that, the front bumper cover is really scuffed and badly scraped underneath.   Can anyone suggest any other things I need to check before feeling comfortable with the car again?   Oh, and the little fools got my aftermarket GPS, brookstone massaging car seat, and other goodies to the tune of $1200 just in property loss.
#6434 of 13114 leland / Car Check by atlantabenny Dec 13, 2003 (6:01 am)
Sorry about your new car. Suggest checking for sub-frame (and possibly but less likely frame) movement. A 4-wheel alignment, including a full underbody inspection by a keen mechanic/technician, should do the job. The trouble indicator is if the 4 wheels can't be aligned to factory specs no matter how hard the shop tries.   Also have the transaxle casing and lower engine parts checked. These may have hit the curb and cracked, later to leak oil.   This is one of the few times I'd recommend the inspection and any underbody work be done by the Honda dealer with the best service/body shop you can find.   For body panels and parts, search eBay to save some money if you plan on getting an insurance cash settlement.
#6435 of 13114 Car check for accident damage by imidazol97 Dec 13, 2003 (7:27 am)
The insurance company should pay for the inspection for the potential damage from the theft and accident. I'd suggest a dealer with a captive body shop that deals with accident damage as well as a good service shop.   I had a theft long ago and the insurance company was very cooperative.
#6436 of 13114 1998 Accord 5sp Mileage by sunangela Dec 13, 2003 (9:01 am)
I used to get 30 mpg. Gradually its down to 27 now. What kind of maintenance service is necessary to improve mpg? Except spark plugs and air filters, everything is original under the hood. It has 80 k miles.
#6437 of 13114 I need a solution. by inspector3 Dec 13, 2003 (10:19 am)
I own a 2003 exl 4 Accord. When I stop at a stop light a vibration starts to build for about 5 seconds & lasts for about five seconds. This usually happens in colder weather.   Any thoughts?

I have a 2003 lx I4. My dealer replaced the engine mount a few of months ago. I think my idle problem is still there, but it feels a little better than before. I believe this is a common problem with this engine.   I suggest bringing your car to different Honda dealer that will address the problem. The dealer had to over night the part and I got a loaner! It wasn't a Honda, but I was surprised they offered one to me.   Good luck.

Type of tires and tire inflation will effect the fuel mileage. Also, alignment, normal wear & tear on engine(although this shouldn't be a factor with only 80,000 miles.
#6440 of 13114 Homelink problem by b10751 Dec 13, 2003 (4:43 pm)
'03 accord exv6. Sometimes, when you press the homelink button to open/close the garage door, BOTH garage doors open/close. I have tried removing the code from homelink and re-programming. Everything is fine for about a week, and then both doors start operating when you press the button. I have another vehicle with homelink and have never had the problem of both doors operating when you press the button, so i don't think the problem is with the openers. Has anyone ran across this problem before?

I have the Dash at windshield/A pillar rattle in an 04' Accord Coupe. Back in August you posted a fix:   "Creak or Click at Dashboard or A-Pillar: ’03 Accord If you’ve got owners of ’03 Accords complaining of a creaking or clicking from the dashboard or A-pillar when driving over rough roads, the problem may be a loose clip on the windshield portion of the roof molding. You can check if this is the problem by sticking a piece of cardboard between the molding and the windshield glass and test-driving the vehicle. If the noise goes away, a loose roof molding clip is the culprit. To fix this problem, remove the inner fender, and look up at the roof molding clip. If the clip isn’t fully engaged, just slide the clip down to the end of the molding, and push it into the hole.   Have a try at this and if it is your problem have your dealer fix it for you..good luck"   This rattle is driving me nuts and if you have the time please email Dan at notworaol.com for further clarification. It would be greatly appreciated.
