I have a 1992 Acura Integra, 185,000 miles, which was hit by a moving truck when it was parked. The truck was coming around the corner and hit the driver's side fender, took out a side light and headlight, and partially pulled off the bumper. After I picked the car up from the bodyshop, the stereo did not turn on (couldn't put in the code). I took it back to the shop, and they had a stereo repairman take a look. He said that the stereo is getting the 2 kinds of power it should get, but it mysteriously simply won't work. A few days later, the car wouldn't start, and a tow-truck driver friend tested it and said that the battery won't hold a charge, but the alternator seems to be putting out quite a bit (18v). I'm having the battery replaced (it was old anyway), but am wondering if the accident or repair could have screwed up the electronics/wiring, resulting in a blown stereo and/or alternator-type problems. Is this just a coincidence, or am I looking at a bigger issue? Thanks.

problems after a front-end accident, the rule of thumb is ALWAYS check all your grounds. Lots of things ground to the body up fron there along the fenders, I bet one got knocked loose, or was removed for bodywork and then not replaced. Now, the radio may be a separate issue - the stock stereo has a separate fuse inside its housing that might blow if it is not properly grounded, and then of course there are the security codes. If it is the stock stereo I would take it to the dealer, but deal with the larger grounding issue first. |

| the car has 186k , with a 5sp manual trans. Once the car heats up, and you attempt to increase speed in each gear the car will increase in rpm and not go any faster. It will do this throughout the gears until your deisred set speed is reached. This is an interrmittent problem...so....oil is clean, changed regularily..any clues??? | |

here's one - you need a new clutch. It will do it more in higher gears, especially at low revs when you hit the gas. |

I echo 90gs, most likely the TW sensor. frank: whoa! Yeah, you maybe could, but it requires some equipment. You have to drop the transmission. You have to know how to bleed a clutch. You have to have a photographic memory (or a Polaroid with flash) to put everything back where you found it. Beyond that, it is basically a plug-n-play job. But there is a reason that shops want $100s and $100s for this job - it is a lot of work. You will need to borrow a repair bay with a floor lift. |

Over the last few days I noticed that my clutch pedal has a lot of "give" when I start up the car. As I drive the pedal becomes more firm. I dont really have a problem shifting gears except I do have to press the pedal quite far in order to change the gear Has anyone seen this problem ? Any suggestion on what this might be ? |
