More than you want to spend on a car that's about 15 years old, I'm willing to bet.

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.

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.

1997 Honda Accord stalls when driving!!! Help by bradman3

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

1997 honda accord is possessed! by montijo

I have the coupe se 2.2L 4at no codes on the mil but sometimes it sputters and stalls and the tack jumps around (but the rpms arent really). I have fuel pressure and the coil is good, cap and wires also. Im in school for smog so i've had it on the dyno and the scope. the spark lines are good, but when I drive it sometimes it feels like its not getting fuel. Ive done the self diagnostic on it and thats when it will throw a code 11 at me. The manual says replace the ecm my teacher thinks it might be the distributer. Has anyone else had any ecm problems. ITs driving me nuts. Thanks

Wierd sound coming from under my engine by elleon804

I have a 1997 accord se with 115000 miles on it ..When i push the gas lightly at a low idle, I can hear a small rattle...I can only hear this when I press the gas lightly..When I am pressing the gas harder somtimes i will hear it real quick then it stops.. The car runs and drives great..I just know that the sound that im hearing is not normal.. Can anyone give me an idea of what this can be? could it be the timing chain? or the fuel pump? or transmission? any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

It could be anything from loose change to a plastic fitting coming loose or a motor mount wearing out. Probably nothing to worry about since the check engine light is not on. The fuel pump is in the tank, you have a timing belt not chain, and the tranny might go "clunk" but no rattles. After 12 years on the road things get loose. Are you in park when you hear this or drive?

You are welcome. When you start moving the motor is using a lot of torque to transition from a stop hence more vibration hence the rattle. keep listening and see if you can track it down. You will feel much better if you can see that its nothing or something dumb. Its always a little scary when we think something might go wrong with our cars, we depend on them so much.Try opening your hood and have someone do the gas in park and in drive, and just look and listen you might see whats moving around but don't drive yourself crazy! Have a good day
