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? |

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? |

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.

Replying to: sooner_chot (Aug 01, 2009 7:47 am) 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. |

| I just spent a grand on my distributor cap,housing,spark plugs and wires.I took it to the mechanic because it was spuddering in the mornings when I would crank it up.I thought it was fixed untill the next time it did it again. What akind of problem does this sound like? Is it an ECU problem or a defective distributor housing? Thats the two options my mechanic gave me to fix. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks. | |
| My 1997 Accord stalls when driving down the road. When I attempt to start with the key, no lights light up on dash. I do have automatic start on my car alarm, so I can start the car in neutral, slide it into drive, and drive it until I hit the brake. That's what the automatic start is supposed to do. Then it will die, because the lights on the dash don't come on even when the key is turned on. I have replaced the electrical portion of the ignition switch, but it didn't solve the problem. Anyone know where to look next? Thanks, Bradman3 | |
