Please tell me where I can find a wiring diagram for the stereo in my 89' Accord DX. The previous owner cut out the aftermarket stereo and I don't khow which wires are for what.   Thank You!   Apxracer Replies to this message: apxracer (Jan 30, 2008 11:53 am) apxracer (Jan 30, 2008 2:19 pm) wanger1 (Jan 31, 2008 3:15 am)

Replying to: apxracer (Jan 30, 2008 11:46 am) 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!   Apxracer Replies to this message: apxracer (Jan 30, 2008 2:19 pm) wanger1 (Jan 31, 2008 3:15 am)

Replying to: apxracer (Jan 30, 2008 11:53 am) 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.
#331 of 412 89 Accord EXI running on 2 cylinders? by petrov_exi Feb 04, 2008 (4:44 pm)
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
#332 of 412 vacume line diagram for 1989 accord by chevyman63 Feb 11, 2008 (5:14 am)
Dose anyone have a diagram of the vacume lines to 1989 accord? It would be a big help as it seems I have no distributor advance? Any other thoughts then vacume? Replies to this message: tranto (Feb 11, 2008 4:01 pm) chevyman63 (Feb 19, 2008 12:49 pm) wanger1 (Feb 19, 2008 2:18 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: chevyman63 (Feb 11, 2008 5:14 am) 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. Replies to this message: chevyman63 (Feb 19, 2008 12:49 pm) wanger1 (Feb 19, 2008 2:18 pm) mrbill1957 (Feb 19, 2008 3:20 pm)

Replying to: tranto (Feb 11, 2008 4:01 pm) Thanks tranto for the reply!!! That was a good thought but in my case it turned out that my main trouble was a cracked vacume hose from the valve cover to the pcv filter box at aircleaner. (I still can't find the pcv valve.. from what I've been seeing it is in line to a vacume canister somewhere under hood?) Soooooo after finding crack on bottom of hose I pulled the 2 vac lines to distributer and drew on them they seemed to hold pressure. Then with those lines plugged I put a timing light on the car and couldn't find the mark until I lossen distributer and went way back conterclockwise. Did cracked hose cause this to be that off........ I don't think so, I belive last owner tried setting timing without pluging distributer vac lines. The putt putt ( my name for her) is much better with power but I wonder about the rest of the miles of vacume lines. Looks like different color codes on some of the lines and a pile of little plastic tees and such. have you ever heard of a kit to go thru these mess?

Replying to: chevyman63 (Feb 19, 2008 12:49 pm) chevyman63,                    The PCV on that model is in a weird place. While standing in front of the car lean over and look down in between the intake tubes. It is actually in the top of the intake, but because of the location, it is hard to see. It should be at the other end of the tube coming from the valve cover. Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Feb 19, 2008 3:20 pm)
