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.

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.

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.

4-cyl vibration (msgs#6437-6348) by rcc8179
Dec 13, 2003 (10:22 pm)
I, too, have a 2003 4-cylinder Accord. I noticed this problem about a week after I bought the car. The service manager at my dealership said that they have received numerous complaints about the problem and that all the new ones on the lot have the same vibration.
 
He said that Honda knows about the problem and is supposed to be working on a fix. I check with him almost every time I am in for service whether or not he has found out anything from Honda yet. So far nothing. Try turning the defrost/AC on at a stoplight--it's even worse.

rcc8179 / Vibration 4 cylinder Accord by gregoryc1
Dec 14, 2003 (9:26 am)
When this vibration occurs, does the exhaust also have a rotten egg smell? ----If the answer is "yes", you might have a "hung-up" / carbon fouled fuel injector! Change your brand of fuel, or try some fuel injector cleaner in the fuel tank! Not all fuels have the same additives.

2003 Accord LX 4 AT vibrations by ebart1
Dec 14, 2003 (11:52 am)
I noticed the emergence of this phenomenon around 13,500km. The service dept linked it to a 'brake condition' as a 'repair'. Upon returning the vehicle for a 'product update' around the 14,800km I drew the service advisor's attention to this condition again. After having taken a technician for a 'demonstration' drive---you know, the 'demonstration effect' caused nothing to show up. The technician's reply was "not to worry about it". Now I'm back for the same condition---only much more pronounced and more audible. It appears to have taken 2 technicians to 'discover' this issue---and on Tuesday next week I will submit the vehicle to 'technician no. 2' to solve this problem, I hope---once-and-for-all! But reading of the above owner's similar concern---how hopeful can I be? This is my first Accord and it is an early production model. Odometer reading at this stage is 18,500 km. As well---front brakes' wear is another issue.
Thanx for reading this.
