#1050 of 2104 Cooling fan on when engine off and cold? by selectrick

Jan 15, 2008 (7:21 pm)

Had to boost my 1991 Honda Accord yesterday and couldn't figure out what I left on, but then today I noticed that a fan was running 3 hours after the engine was shut down in freezing temps. I'm not sure which fan is what, but it is the fan on the passenger side of the engine. Is that a rad cooling fan or is that the condenser cooling fan? ( I'm very green on the subject but from looking at electrical drawings I noticed there are both rad fan and condenser fan in there and there's 2 fans at the front where the rad is) What's what ? Can anyone enlighten me? Is it a sensor or a temp switch possibly? Thanx from a greenhorn! Lol!!

From my limited experience, it sounds like your fan timer has gone kaput. You may have to read through a lot of unrelated information, but this link may help you. Good luck

#1052 of 2104 '92 Accord electrical issues by engineerscott

I have a '92 that seems to be having alternator issues. While driving down the road I notice the lights getting brighter and then dimmer. Also the heater fan will increase and decrease in RPM's. This is not a difficult fix I am sure but I do not want to throw parts at it until it fixed. Anyone have a direction for me to go here?

Sounds like a new alternator is in your future.

An auto parts store (Autozone) may be able to test the alternator for you, just in case. I'm pretty sure their test equipment can tell you if the alternator is charging too much, or not enough. Good luck

What ended up being the problem with your 93 accord and the front oil leak? I have a 93 accord with 151,000 miles on it and I am having the same issue. I know this was a while back, but any info would help, thanks

#1056 of 2104 93 accord front small oil leak near front of car by gregsurfdog

Jan 23, 2008 (9:09 am)

I have a 93 accord with 151,000 miles and I am noticing some small oil drips on my drive way near the front of the car. It is not just one spot, it seems to be several small spots........any suggestions on what it could be?

only you will be able to tell. Clean off the engine and wipe it down as oil will travel around, and then start to watch it to see where the oil appears to be coming from.

#1058 of 2104 Timing Belt by twa727

Jan 23, 2008 (8:18 pm)

Hey guys,
 
As I approach 200K on my '93, I'm looking at a timing belt replacement.
 
I've never had to pay for one myself--what's to be expected for a '93 Accord?
 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Your 1993 Accord should be similar to my 1996 Accord (both are the 2.2L, same design). I got two quotes - one was $720, the other was $475. Both included having the water pump replaced as well (you should have this done at the same time).
