A couple of months ago, a mechanic replaced the fuel pump and rear fuel filter in my 87 Accord LXi. I think it was the original pump at 255,000 miles; no complaints here! But since then, the car seems to run out of gas although gas gauge reads 1/4 tank full. When I fill the tank, it only takes 9 gallons; capacity is about 15 gal so indeed there was 1/4 tank gas. And I track gas mileage and get the same calculation. I've been through this process about four times and it's the same everytime. Within about 40 miles of "running out of gas", the car sometimes starts to sputter and I simply clutch or back off the throttle to prevent a stall. As the "empty tank" stage approaches, there's more sputter so I know that I need to get gas. Mechanic says he doesn't have a clue...and I believe him. He suggests the other fuel filter should be replaced but wouldn't I have a stall no matter how much gas in the tank? Your thoughts would be VERY welcomed!

Replying to: mangrove (Jun 23, 2006 4:41 pm) I would assume the pump assembly also contains the fuel gauge sending unit. Maybe something was bent during replacement, or possibly the wrong unit was installed. Maybe the pump assembly is defective, it has a hole somewhere and when the gas drops to 1/4 tank, the pump starts to suck air. Do you have any paperwork with the part number so you can verify you got the right pump assembly? Just guessing here. Good luck, Mrbill

How is the idle adjusted on this car? My son-in-law just purchased this car for a work car and it idles very high--around 1800 RPM. I cannot find a screw for adjusting the idle. Is there an idle control valve rather than an adjusting screw?

Both front power windows will not roll down. It Started on the drivers side then eventually went to passengers side also. I assumed it was the motors. When I took the door skin off I found a (power window control box) with two plugs going into it. One has six wires, the other four. I took a jumper wire from one red wire, in the six wire plug, to another red wire in the four wire plug. I pressed the button, and the window rolled down! I can't find the part anywhere, I could search the junk yards. I would like to know if I could just cut the plugs off and splice, pairs of the wires together eliminating the control/relay? box all together? If so I need to figure out the color combination because there are not any matching colors, out of all 10 wires. If anyone knows anything about this problem, or where I can get this box at let me know. Thanks very much! If you own one keep it! They will drive to the moon and back!

Hello all, I just bought a stick shift 89 honda accord few days ago. I didn't check the condition of the car carefully at that time. After that, I have been practicing driving the car but I figured out that the 'brake lamp' light was always on even when I was not steping on the brake and the hand brake is off. Does anybody know the reason of it? Thanks in advance.
