#757 of 788 Type of gas that 1993 Legend should use by lhy Mar 04, 2009 (3:36 am)
Hello:   I am considering buying a 1993 Acura Legend 4D sedan. Is it true that this car can only use premium gasoline?   What will happen if I just use regular unleaded gas in it?

Replying to: lhy (Mar 04, 2009 3:36 am) Gas will cost you a bit more if you use regular.   The Legend is so well set up that (in my case at least) I get about 10% better mileage with premium, while it costs about 6% more than regular. And, of course, since the price differential between regular and premium remains pretty rigid at ~$0.20/gal., the more expensive gas gets, the smaller the percentage in price difference.   Plus, it's a WHOLE LOT more fun to drive on premium, as the engine is high-compression and the computer has to compensate for regular.   Good luck, and have fun. Caution to the winds!   If it doesn't work out for you as it does for me, change. But you're better off with premium.

Replying to: lhy (Mar 04, 2009 3:36 am) With my 92 Legend I use both. but, if I want maximum preformance and power it runs best on Premium fuel. For the difference in cost, the car will just run much better I find. But, I do not my car as an every day driver, only nice sunny days.

Replying to: hawks1 (Nov 02, 2005 12:48 pm) I have a 1990 Legend also that had the ABS warning light come on only after I would break a while. I found that replacing the relay in the under the hood fuse box on the driver side did the trick. Later the motor on the ABS motor became noisy and I also replaced it. GOOD LUCK hawks 1.

Replying to: jimsmith5637 (Mar 28, 2009 12:59 am) I would check your connections - if the battery is fully charged but the starter motor not getting any juice - there has to be a disconnect there somewhere. I would also check the ingition switch in the steering column - they have a history or failing on a car that old. Love the 1990 Legend - had one in our family from 2000-2008, 122,000 - 180,000 miles - she never let us down.

Replying to: joel30 (Jan 30, 2007 3:36 pm) My mechanic just came up and took a look at the same problem. It's a speed sensor they run 30-40 $. It's up on the transmission which is pretty in there on the legends.   His buddy that was with him seemed to think my oil problem was internal due to seeing blue smoke but when I changed oil the guy told me I just had a gasket valve cover on the top that was leaking. Any ideas from anyone on that? No other engine symptoms than going through a lot of it.

Hi, i am looking to buy an 1993 Acura Legend. The one i am looking at has a V6, 3.2L engine, leather seats, CD player, Acura Alarm and a little bit of rust around back wheel wells. It has 245 000 kilometers on it and the guy is selling it for $1400. I would like a second opinion on it, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
#766 of 788 1990 Acura Legend "L" 4 Door Sedan Expansion Valve by seth8 Jul 17, 2009 (1:56 pm)
I just purchased a 1990 Acura Legend.">It has 106,000 and is almost perfect inside and out. It had 2 owners, the second of which only held onto it for 5 months. The timing belt has never been changed, it idles a little rough and the AC Expansion Valve needs to be replaced. I discovered the Expansion Valve when I switched over to 134a from R-12. I first thought the compressor wasn't working but i was told the compressor shuts off if the expansion valve is clogged. Has anyone changed it before? If so, what exactly is involved. Oh and does anyone know where I can get the hardware to fix the inside driver door compartment? Thank you for your time.   Seth
