what type is it? by caverspencer

I am sure this has been answered somewhere but I couldnt find it by doing a search.
 
How do you tell what model a '97 accord is?
 
I purchased mine used about a year ago but the letter on the trunk are gone.
 
My accord has the 4 cylinder V-Tech engine, Power windows and doors, Cruise control, AC, and Moon roof.
 
My guess is that it is an EX?
 
Oh and while I am at. is the V-tech engine the same as L4 2.2 Liter FI F22B2 2156 cc O.H.C.- SOHC

Yes, EX.
 
The LX had a non-Vtec engine, and no moonroof. The Special Edition Accords from 1997 had the moonroof, but no Vtec.

You bet, and welcome to the forums. Next time you have a question, check out any of the Honda Accord forums. One of interest to you might be the "Honda Accord (1994-1997) Maintenance and Repair Forum" which would have been a good place to ask this.
 
The host often-times will shut very narrow discussions (like this one) down quickly. But please join in some of the others if you dare. They can be a lot of fun; I've learned an awful lot about my car by participating, asking questions, and even sharing some advice from my own experiences!

Interestingly, my 1996 Auto 4-cyl Accord will jump from 4th to 2nd, seeming to skip over third. This happens when I've dropped in speed, from say 40 to 23MPH. I hit the gas to get moving again, and it shifts suddenly, and firmly, into second gear.

tire rotation by tamu2002

I have close to 13K miles on my 06 Accord. According to the manual, I'm supposed to wait for the minder to tell me when to rotate the tires. I'm tempted to rotate them now though, since well, it's been 13K miles. Is my understanding correct and how reliable the minder is regarding tire rotation intervals? I trust it for oil change intervals but am not so sure about tires.

I usually rotate my tires every 6k miles because that's what the tire maker recommends. I do this myself, because I don't like tire places using air guns to tighten my lug nuts (torquing the lug nuts too much can warp the rotors from what I've heard and they can nick the paint if they aren't careful). I also like to clean the back side of the wheels at the same time.

Thanks. Maybe rotating the tires will be my next automotive adventure. Is Honda being sloppy here in their tire rotation recommendation by using the minder?

I am glad my 03 doesn't have the minder system. I would probably disagree with a lot of what it recommends. Some people find it helpful though, and don't have a problem with the intervals suggested. I like the flexibility of the old way. The minder system doesn't seem to have any flexibility to it. If you re-set the minder because you did one thing ahead of schedule, you've re-set it for everything else too. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks, I guess.
