An update from new owner. Well i've had the trans serviced, seems it was ok. It still jolts but I'm trying to get used to this Honda trait. The power steer has now got a stop leak compound that is working and hopefully I will get 6 months or so out of this. After this i am told the seal will be shot and a new steering rack will be needed.The drive shafts and boots have also been replaced, fresh oil and filter for the engine also. The mileage issue is a problem however.The mechanic tells me that the problem is retarded timing caused by a failed distributor diaphram, that can't be repaired since it is a plastic housing and can't be dismantled. This means that i'm going to have to wear bad economy and poor performance, particularly at cruise speed. The option is a new distributor at a cost of over $500AU Gulp! As i've just about spent all i can afford on this car this will have to go on the backburner. How much for this part in the U.S.? The radio is still it's contrary self and the A/C doesn't get cold. I'm told it is gassed and that the problem ,(i'm not sure what he said) is v. expensive. Oh and I put in a new air filter as the old one was shot. If anyone can offer comment or assistance please do as i would love to get this car running true but the cost is getting away from me. Thank you in advance. Almost forgot. I'm having no luck with a master key in Australia so here is the Vin no in the hope that someone o/s can assistVIN: JHMCA56300C210342.Thanks again.

Concerning the distributor. If you will go to (thepartsbin.com) they carry the distributor for $161.00 to $213.00 as oposed to $500.00 or was that price including installation? You might also try ebay and (thatpartsgiant.com). If it is a part I don't have to have right away, I buy 90% of my parts on line. For the master key, I would suggest going to Honda. They should be able to get one from their warehouse or direct from Japan. If it is just the ignition itself, try (thepartsbin). I know they carry them and you might come out cheaper just replacing the whole switch. I hope this info helps.

need to know what wires in the Honda go where...the wires are cut and hanging out of my console. In order to wire up a new stereo I need to know the color codes for the speakers, acc/on, etc....
Thank You!

If you are installing a factory style sterio, the wire colors should match up. If it is a aftermarket sterio, you might try following the wires and see which ones go to the speakers and which ones go to the dash wiring. Then use your diagram for the aftermarket and match up the wires one at a time until you get them right. There should be no more than 8 speaker wires and 2 to 4 power wires, so as far as hooking up the radio, you will have a max of 16 combinations to deal with. You might blow a couple of fuses in the process, but it shouldn't be that hard. Good luck.

89 Accord EXI running on 2 cylinders?
by petrov_exi

I have a 89 Accord EXI (2.0L fuel injected) that seems to be running on two cylinders. It was running strong until a drive the other day on the highway between shifts it lost power.
I pulled each spark plug boot off individually to confirm spark and noticed that when I pulled the left most boots (driver's side) there is no difference in the engine. It is however evident when the right side is pulled as the car almost stalls.
I also measured the fuel injector resistance and it was 1.7ohms which is within spec. Can it be the ECU and where is this located? Also the manual said to check the resistance of the injector resistor terminal which I also cannot seem to locate...it should be a connector harness of 5 pins that is located around the strut tower of the left fender apron???
The plug appears to be slightly fouled but not overly wet...so where do I go from here. I was thinking about testing the injectors by swapping them to the working cylinders but I have strong feeling that it could be the ECU or some other electrical sensor...
Thanks in advance,
Peter

I have a similar problem,have you pressure tested the diaphram on your distributor If as i suspect this is the problem,and you have a metal housing it can be repaired, however if you have a plastic housing the diaphram can not be accessed and you're up for a new distributor. If you are also getting poor mileage this is the likely culprit.
