1992 Accord DX had a brake fluid leak at the front wheel. Fluid went too low and brake light came on. I added fluid and tightened the banjo nut that was leaking. Have since bled the brake lines, but the pedal still slowly goes to the floor, but only while the egine is running. When engine is off, it's firm. Also, after pressing the pedal and releasing, the idle increases. Some have suggested the brake booster may have a leak, others have said the master cylinder is now bad since my bleeder helper pushed the pedal to the floor during the bleeding. Boo hoo  Any thought on the best path and procedures? Much obliged in Oregon.

Replying to: 90coupegak (May 19, 2008 2:21 pm) What if you unplug the condenser fan for the A/C, and see if the fuse blows? I don't know whats all on that fuse, you may need to put a smaller value fuse to see if it pops without the fan. Sorry, not much help Mrbill |

hi all, I hope someone can help me with this mess. car: Honda Accord 1990 DX Since I got this car the condenser fan has been disconnected. At the beginning it was directly connected to the wiper current intake so it ran as soon as I put my key in. Needless to say , I burned 2 fans. I got a new radiator wit both fans, but I don;t want to burn a third fan. I am putting some pictures picture one is straight from the manual of honda accord 1990  I marked the items with number so they can be identified in the real pictures picture 2...my car:  so the compressor clutch relay, the diode and the condenser fan relay are present...at least physically picture 3 is interesting  number 2 shows the pressure switch connector. next to the stick used to hold the hood open, there is a [i]relay? [/i] attached to the front.. this was always there it has four cables going into it. I cannot find this relay in picture 1(the wiring for the AC system by honda manual). In yellow crosses I show two open cables they had tape on them when I got the car. I tested both opened cables for voltage, i got no reading. I wonder if the condenser fan should be connected to those cables? Does anyone know if honda built in USA came with a different wiring? or is this a rewiring of the original wiring for the AC system? I have been using the AC without condenser fan without problem, Temperature hasn't risen so far while driving with AC on , even with the fan off. Any help will be appreciated... I am trying to put this princess all together. PS: I don;t see the high pressure valve for the A/C system...where is supposed to be (near the pressure switch connector) |

Hi all, When starting up my 93' Accord, gas already in tank, engine cranks after long startup. After adding more gas (regular) I noticed hesitation when depressing gas pedal. I had a friend install a new fuel pump back in Dec 2007. Can this be a fuel gauge pressure problem? Where should I start to look for problems? I don't want to spend too much $$$ Thanks cybercool |

I'm hopping the experts here can help me resolve this problem. OK here is whats going on. Turned the key to crank the engine, car starts for about 1 second then stops. Try to restart car and all it will do is crank. I can let the car sit over night and it will start right up. This has happened about 4 times now over the past year. Two days ago, same thing, except this time the car would not start after sitting overnight. On the third day, it started right up. A local mechanic suggested that it might be an electronic fuel injection relay. He said that it’s a common problem for that era Accord. He also stated that to make sure it’s the relay; I need to get the car to act up again. As with any intermittent problem, the car starts every time now. I would replace the relay and hope it resolves my problem; however this part cost around $90.00. Any help is appreciated.

Ok guys and gals heres a question (and sorry if its repetetive) ok so when im driving my car... uh lets say 15 minutes my 90 honda accord shuts off and i get a battery light and an oil light. it wont start. so then i use starting fluid, runs then shuts off after a 1/4 of a mile drive.i also get the same light when i park my car in the parking lot for hours under the blazin sun. i have checked my oil and yeah im slightly over filled, but i feel it isnt the problem. i have bought cap and rotor, wires and plugs and the main relay, cuz it wouldnt start during the hot weather and read that those go bad, and plan to work on my car tomorrow. someone has also told me that i might have a bad vapor canister which is why it was starting during hot weather. someone else said it could be my icm(ignition control moduel). any one have any ideas or advice on what to do?

| My A/C compressor went out the other day on my 93 Accord LX, I am in the process of purchasing a replacement compressor. My accord has been fitted for the R134 freon......does this matter when purchasing a compressor. I have only found a couple of places online that list the part as for R12 or R134. Thanks for any feedback you can give me. | |

Replying to: nefnef611 (May 28, 2008 5:46 pm) The oil light doesn't indicate a problem with how much oil is in the car. However, I'm thinking that the oil light and electrical system light coming on is no different than if you turn your car to the ON position without starting it; you get all the same lights. After all, your car is in the ON position after it quits, and is effectively in the same boat that the car was in before you started it in the first place, if you catch my drift. In other words, I wouldn't put too much stock into the lights. I don't know how to help you otherwise, but thought I'd share my thinking with you. Best of luck! |
