| I recently purchased an '89 Honda Accord knowing that the 5th gear was inoperable. Other than this, the car is actually in pretty good shape. Was wondering if anyone has worked on this themselves; it is possible to repair this without a lot of grief or is it better to simply look for another tranny, and if so, where? Greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. | |

| I recently purchased an 89 accord and for some reason my overdrive doesn't work can I fix it? plus mileage is absolutely horrible...any suggestions? it is an automatic, but I did own a 92 accord as well and I did get a lot better mpg than this one...this one works out to approximately 22-24 mpg...Can someone pls let me know if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks muchly...By the way I have replaced many parts already the only thing I have not done was to change tranny fluid, but like I said everything else is done such as timming belt, water pump, plugs, etc... | |

I have not driven my Honda Accord Dx in almost three years, but did crank it up on occasion. Yesterday I decided to put it back on the road, I purchased spark plugs and wires, thermostat, cleaned out the radiator and changed the oil. Test drove it and notice every time I stopped the car I cut off, when driving it, it drives fine until I stop. My car drove fine before I quit driving it. Can someone help me!

I have a 84 accord and it ran great. but a week ago i started to die after occasionally and and now will not run. the fuel pump does not run or get any voltage. i pulled out the pump and tested it with a 12 volts straight off the battery and then it ran. so i looked into the relay and tried jumping the it by connecting the top 2 wires still no power. i also checked the fuse and that was good. does anyone know what this could be? alos in the process trying to find the relay i was jumping the wrong relay and shorted it what ever that relay ran it was blue and the only relay you can see without removing the fuse box anyone know what that is for.

Replying to: austin442 (May 10, 2009 8:11 pm) My car had a similar problem and it took me more than one year to determine the cause. In this forum, go to message #167 for a description of my problem and go to message #222 for my resolution. |

Replying to: austin442 (May 10, 2009 8:11 pm) The blue relay could be wipers, headlight motors or rear defroster. See if they work. Certainly it's not the ignition coil. |
