Hello I have a 1988 horda accord Lxi 5 speed. It starts up and runs, however when i disconnect power from the battery it dies instantly, it seems like the alternator isnt taking a charge, and i have recently replaced it with a brand new one. Maybe a bad connection somewhere?? Please help!!!

Replying to: Savior1988 (Jan 23, 2009 4:03 pm) But presuming you haven't damaged the new one, what you need to do is get a voltmeter on the battery and rev the engine and see if you're even charging at all. If not, then take the alternator off and have it bench tested and/or exhanged under warranty. |

Okay so I can't complain too much as it was free but I had a rough day thanks to my 87 Accord S. So I have recently inherited (from a friend of a friend not a dead family member) a 1987 Accord S (hatchback) that has sat for roughly 2 years. I've done an oil change, air filter, checked the rad fluids, new battery, etc. and everything looks to be in working order. However, when I attempted to drive it home tonight after putting all the work in at my place of employment the car began to sputter, and then subsequently die. At first I thought scuzzy gas but now that the car has virtually no battery power left I'm wondering - does it need a new alternator? it sounds like it wants to turn over, and with a jump you can get it going but it dies the moment you attempt to step on the gas. Thoughts? Oh and it has roughly 170,000kms (about 105,000 miles) the car had been running fine a week before, but I'd only had it running for about 30 mins or so. Thanks |

Was driving my car when I heard a wyne then my car lost 5th gear, I shifted to 4th gear and the passenger tire locked up on me. We cranked it the next day and it went in to gear, but would not stay in reverse, wanted to pop out. Any help?? I really need it. Thanks |

My 1989 Honda Accord LXI will not shift into 5th gear. I can shift into all other gears including reverse with no problems. When shifting from 4th to 5th gear there is not any resistance when going from neutral into 5th gear. I can push on the shift lever hard and there is a tiny bit of grinding but all other gears there is not a noise. It feels like the linkage for 5th gear came undone. Prior to the lost of linkage, if I came to a stop with it still in 5th gear it would be stuck and I would have to let out the clutch to disengage it from 5th gear. If some one who knows how the linkage works or can direct me to a diagram of the internals of the linkage to see how to repair the problem I would appreciate it. Going form neutral into reverse is no problem. Thank you for the help.
