#403 of 412 Re: 84 Accord fuel issue [tjrr] by austin442 May 27, 2009 (8:30 pm)
Replying to: tjrr (May 27, 2009 4:21 am) no i had no issues with the tac. but now less than 20 miles later it started to kill again thius had been a issue in the past but had subsided in the last while. under a whole new set of ways. when i am driving or whenever the car will kill about once every three miles. and more often when it is cold. i can crank it over all i want and it will not start but if i turn the car completely off and then crank it over it starts right up. i was suspicious of the vac lines but when i looked at them they all seam to be in great shape. there is one vacuum operated item mounted on the distributor that has gunk all over it could that be part of the issue? where else could i look?

#405 of 412 A20A3 (injection) loss of power by yannnick127 Jul 03, 2009 (4:30 am)
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
#406 of 412 1988 Honda Accord Alternator problems by sueb5 Jul 04, 2009 (7:08 pm)
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 Replies to this message: solebrth (Aug 12, 2009 3:22 am)

Replying to: 88accord1 (Feb 03, 2007 6:34 pm) could be the pump in the gas tank going bad , this happened to me , my 92 accord kept dying at any fast stop , so I replaced the tank altogether and had no problems after that . The tank was a used one from the junk yard for $50.00 dollards .

#411 of 412 86 Accord - Speedometer very noisy - how to lubricate by tjrr Aug 22, 2009 (8:36 pm)
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.
#412 of 412 Please Help by ash86 Oct 22, 2009 (1:30 pm)
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.
