| Hi. New here. My accord EX has120,000 and I love this car!! I'm having two problems. #1 After about ten minutes of driving from a cold start, my tach drops to zero then it bounces around for a bit and then corrects itself. Also,SOMTIMES the engine either stalls surges while the tach is bouncing. #2 The trannny has held third gear at about 4000 rpm and not shift into overdrive(4th) This has only happen twice in the 50-60mph range. I have heard of this 98-081 TSB related to the speed sensor that may help me get my car fixed for free? | |

The warranty extension is 14 years or 150,000 miles. It's hard to say whether you are covered or not, but it's certainly worth a shot.

I went into Starbucks for my morning coffee...came out and green fluid was leaking out of the front of my car. Asked a guy in a truck next to me what was happening. He said it's radiator fluid, the stuff that keeps your car from over heating. The temp gage isn't at the half way mark when driving. Do I need it look at by a mechanic. Thanks much~ JgirlHB

YES!! If you lose your coolant,you lose your engine. Are you sure that it was your coolant and NOT the previous car parked in that parking spot? Which side is leaking from? My 97 is leaking coolant now  120,000. Checked hoses and gave a visual inspection,cant find anything. Appears to be leaking from the passenger side. Not driving the car and its going to the shop friday.

Hi all, 1997 Accord EX 2.2L Manual Check engine is throwing code 71 (Cylinder 1 misfire) I replaced my plugs and wires at first, reset the codes and went on my merry way. Drove fine for about 1,000 miles, Check engine light came on. Reset the ECU Again. Came back after about 600 miles. This seems to happen only on drives of over two hours and usually when I am fifth gear cruising along the highway. Took the car from Chicago to St Louis tonight. CEL is again throwing code 71. I reset this alongside the highway, came back about 5 minutes later. Tomorrow morning I will reset it when cold and see if it comes back right away. What I am wondering is: What are some of the most likely parts or conditions that may cause this? (EGR valve? Overheating Ignition Control Module?) Is anyone familiar with this type of problem? Could this be a timing belt issue? Thanks!
