Replying to: arcwelder (Apr 08, 2006 9:53 am) I'm armpits deep in the same on my 89. I know there plugs available, just not sure if they are at a parts store near you.. I know i've gotten a "freeze plug" set before and used only the ones i needed.. didnt see a kit for these yet but can sometimes match them up.   Jeff

Replying to: arcwelder (Apr 08, 2006 9:53 am) I found and replaced mine, with a 20mm one from NAPA autoparts today.. 49 cents.     A little funky getting to it, but it was up on stands, and moved the rh support bracket from under the car, and could get to the culprit.      Back on the road to better mileage woo hoo!!

Replying to: blakester1 (Jun 05, 2006 11:16 pm) The head bolts should be tightened in two passes. The first pass tighten to 22 ft.lbs (30Nm) on the second pass, tighten to 49 ft.lbs (68Nm)   torque sequence looking at front of engine:   (8) (6) (2) (4) (10)   (9) (3) (1) (5) (7)   Mrbill Replies to this message: blakester1 (Jun 06, 2006 9:53 pm)

#88 of 412 New Honda Owner by aheedratron Jun 07, 2006 (4:53 pm)
Hello, I am now the owner of a '89 Honda Accord dx with a carbeurated 2 liter engine and an automatic transmission. I have browsed your past discussions and cant seem to find answers to my specific questions so here goes: 1) When I first bought the car, I began to go through a minor tune-up. I took off the air intake and noticed a piece that was totally disconnected save for a vaccuum line. I had driven the car for over 100 miles by the time I had gotten around to getting screws to re-attach the part; it sits underneath the carbeurator on the right hand side and the car ran fine without it. I was later told that this piece 'catches final emissions from the car to prevent backfire' or something to that effect I can't find a decent description much less a good picture of this piece, what I really wonder is if there was a reason this was left off? does the engine breathe better without it? 2) While it runs great most of the time, I notice that the tranny likes to slip up (from 2.5 grand to 4-6.5 grand depending on how hard my foot was on the gas)especially on turns in the D-3 gear, while it is not debilitating as of yet, it is quite annoying especially when I am turning onto a highway, is this a quirk? should I have it looked at? 3) When I bought the car, the guy told me that older hondas have a govenor or choke that makes the car idle high until it is 'ready' my car idles at 2 grand and will rise up to 3-3.5 over a minute or two. I tap the gas and it will drop to around 950 rpm. Is this really a normal feature? 4) Is there a manual better than Haynes or chilton out there? or at least supplimentary reading on history, specific part specs, etc...? -aheedratron Replies to this message: bdz (Jun 18, 2006 7:59 pm) a3on (Jul 12, 2006 8:22 am)
#89 of 412 89 honda accord 2 dr. by angell21 Jun 09, 2006 (8:13 am)
I have a 89 honda accord i recently bought, and when you rev up the engine or when your driving it wistles and i think it is the exaust. I am not sure so any help would be great. I also want to increase the horsepower not alot just enough where i will get better fuel mileage. So like an extra 30 or 40 horses. And i don't want to spend alot of money, i just spent 300 dollars on a upper ball joint! please let help me! -Angell21 Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Jun 09, 2006 1:35 pm)
