Hi all, I had a bad thermostat, with lead to run with no water, broke the radiator so I over heated the engine.... Now the engine as a big loss of power but I don't see any sign of blown head gasket. The car does not smoke white, no unsual color on the spark plugs or sign of water in the engine. I cannot find out what is wrong. Anyone had a suggestion? thx a lot |

My accord has over 200,000 miles on it. Just replaced alternator and battery 2 to 3 months ago and alternator is going out again. Battery light on dash is coming on and staying on. The alternator is a new, not rebuilt one. (Not a Honda brand) When I take the alternator in to have it checked on the machine it runs in the normal range and when I put back into car it sucks the life out of battery. The battery posts are clean, the connector wires to the battery have been replaced. What the car does as I'm driving is to loose power and I have to keep my foot on the gas at stoplights and if I have to make a sudden stop or slow down quickly (I.E. commuter traffic) it will die right there. What I don't get is why was I able to drive my car for approx 2 years before the 1st alternator went out and the 2nd doesn't last 3 months? (Maybe it's a bad alternator but I bought a good brand.) Thanks for your input, Sue B

Hi, Loud noise from under back seat in my 1989 Accord LXi Sedan 2.0 AT. Took the tank off and lots of rust in tank and on fuel supply unit and fuel gauge sending unit. What is the little red thing mounted on the tank between the fuel sending unit and the gauge sending unit? Thanks |

| For over a year now my instrument cluster is very noisy and is directly related to the speedometer. The Honda dealer suggested the cable be lubricated and they want $100. I declined - anyone know how to do this? Could not find anything in this forum or when doing a general search of the web. I don't know if I noise is from the speedometer itself of the cable rotating within its sheath. | |

I have a 1989 Honda Accord Lxi and haveing a few problems with it. First off: When I go to start my car it clicks and doesn't make any sounds after that, but when I move the battery cables around it starts up. It may take a few times to get it to start. I noticed that there is electrical tape on the cable. Would that have anything to do with it not connecting? Would I need to buy a new battery cable? Secondly: Whenever it rains the foor boards get soaked. Like not just wet, but like literally soaked. At first it was just my driver side but now its my passenger side too. Just wondering what that might be and how I could fix that. Hopefully I got my point across. This is my first time posting a thread of any kind. |
