#1434 of 1542 Honda accord 97 by islandmocha Jul 02, 2009 (7:41 pm)
Aloha,   I am new here. My ABS light comes on and off sometimes and starts making a clicking sound, the speedometer drops and sometimes when i come to a complete stop the car completely shuts off. Last night the car wouldn't even start. I disconnected and reconnected the battery cable and it started up. Please help im not sure what to do or how to fix it.

Replying to: oldmanhonda99 (May 25, 2009 2:46 pm) Does your cruise control work, "maintain a set speed". If your cruise works, that tells you the vehicle speed sensor is good. If the speedometer bounces around 20 mph, the speedometer head is bad. Honda calls the speedometer cluster "combination gauge".

Replying to: oldmanhonda99 (May 25, 2009 2:46 pm) I have the same problem and made the sistake of purchasing a VSC and it was not needed, I finally just purchased a GPS which gives me my speed and it has been the least expensive solution.
#1437 of 1542 96 Honda Accord EX is Really Loud when I accelerate by zileki Jul 23, 2009 (9:09 pm)
Hello--   I just bought a '96 Accord EX Wagon (automatic transmission) with right around 100K miles. The car seems to be running well in many respects, BUT...   ...it started out having a faint, but still noticeable fuel odor right when I started it. I also began to notice a high pitched noise when driving at low speeds. More recently (I've only driven it about 2,500 miles), it started to become very loud when the transmission shifts between up in low gears (it could be doing at high speeds too, but I just don't notice because of road noise). It sounds like an exhaust/muffler sound, but it also feels so sluggish that I worry it could be a transmission issue.   I really love this car and want it to last a long time. Any advice before I take it to the mechanic?

how hard is it to change out the brake lines and fuel lines that run from the master cyl to the rear of the car
#1439 of 1542 ABS Question by sooner_chot Jul 31, 2009 (4:56 am)
Lately on my 95 Accord EX Sedan, I have noticed that I hear my ABS pump more and more while driving. Typically, I would hear it after a cold start and that would be it for the day. Now, I hear it after each start, and sometimes while driving.   The ABS warning light does come on after several miles.   Any ideas?

Replying to: sooner_chot (Jul 31, 2009 4:56 am) The ABS warning light does come on after several miles.  Any ideas?   Yep... your ABS pump is bad. Very common in those years for Hondas and Acuras. Frankly, I'm shocked that it has lasted this long for your car. Pricey repair too.   FWIW, the brakes still work and the ABS still worked the one time I needed it way back when. My son is still driving it and I think it has over 230k miles now. Replies to this message: sooner_chot (Aug 01, 2009 7:47 am) thegraduate (Aug 02, 2009 8:38 pm) tallman1 (Aug 05, 2009 9:42 pm)

Replying to: tallman1 (Jul 31, 2009 8:17 am) How much do you think the repair will be?? Replies to this message: thegraduate (Aug 02, 2009 8:38 pm) tallman1 (Aug 05, 2009 9:42 pm)

Replying to: sooner_chot (Aug 01, 2009 7:47 am) More than you want to spend on a car that's about 15 years old, I'm willing to bet.

Replying to: sooner_chot (Aug 01, 2009 7:47 am) Sorry... I've been out of town.   IIRC, many years ago, the Honda dealer wanted around $1600 to replace the ABS pump for my 95 Accord. Since the brakes still work and the ABS also worked the one time I needed them, it wasn't worth the money. You may want to call the dealer and see about the cost. I'm sure an independent shop would be cheaper.
