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!

Hello! I have a 1997 Honda Accord Lx 4-cylinder 4-door. Manufacturing it is during the final year so it is close to 1998. Recently I've seen significant cracks on four of my tires. Just yesterday, I saw some of the tire traction are chipping off. (Looks like dry skin that are wrinkly and can easily scrub off....) I have a concern over safety so I bought it to get some quotes on the tire prices. Quotations from Costco: - Michelin Energy ($121.99 each w/ their $70 off promotion = Total is $529.24) - BFG Touring ($86.99 = Total is $381.24) Quotations from Les Schwab: - 86H SS-657 All Season Blackwall ($66.73 + Wheel Spin Balance + Valve Steam + Siping + Tax = Total $418.56) - 86H Zexius XI-427 All Season Blackwall ($83.47 + Spin Balance + Valve Steam + Siping + Tax = Total $491.55) Note: I am currently using Michelin from Costco, and it has been 4 years since it was new. Questions: 1) Which of the tires above / listed are my best options? 2) Are the price / quotations I received reasonable? 3) Have been using the current tires for a little over than 4 years, is it time to get them replace? 4) What causes my tires to start crackling at the very first place? Thanks!!!!!! Hope to hear more opinions from you all.

Replying to: Trhenning (Nov 08, 2009 6:48 pm) This code could signify a gazillion things. It's not much to work with. So you have to get a Honda trouble code on their scanner or a deeper scan and/or more diagnostic work. If you want me to guess at this point, and I didn't have a scanner, I'd check for vacuum leaks at the manifold and then I'd clean the MAF sensor and see what that does. This misfire could be caused by so many other components, is the problem.
