Replying to: sogomimi1029 (Nov 08, 2009 2:27 pm) 1) Which of the tires above / listed are my best options?   You may want to expand your search a bit. A great place to start is to check out tirerack.com.   BTW, siping is an option on tires from Les Schwab. You don't HAVE to have that done.

Replying to: Trhenning (Nov 08, 2009 8:16 pm) [P0301] The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0301: Cylinder 1 misfire detected.   DESCRIPTION Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor which is attached to the crankshaft. If misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTC P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on. If misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTC P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or P0304 will be stored.   NOTE: If some of the DTCs listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then troubleshoot the misfire DTC.   P0106: MAP sensor P0171, P0172: Fuel supply system P0401, P1491, P1498: EGR system P0441: EVAP incorrect purge flow* P1359, P1361, P1362: TDC sensor P1381, P1382: CYP sensor *: Sedan KL (SE, LX without ABS)/Wagon   Possible Cause       * Fuel injector clogging, fuel leakage, air leakage     * Fuel injector circuit open or shorted     * Injector resistor malfunction     * Spark plug carbon deposits, fouling, malfunction     * Ignition wires open, leaking     * Distributor malfunction     * Compression low     * Valve clearance out of specification

Replying to: Trhenning (Nov 08, 2009 8:16 pm) If the misfire only happens for one particular cylinder, I would check that plug, wire, distributor cap etc. If the EGR was causing misfires, seems like it would happen on more than one cylinder. Maybe try switching a plug and wire, with another cylinder, to see if the misfire changes cylinders.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 09, 2009 5:17 pm) Well, I've made the mistake of buying cheap plug wires from Autozone, and they caused misfires a week later. Replies to this message: Trhenning (Nov 11, 2009 3:54 pm) elroy5 (Nov 11, 2009 6:34 pm)
#1535 of 1549 96 Accord front wheel bearing repair by gdougherty Nov 11, 2009 (6:48 am)
I have a 1996 Honda Accord EX with approx. 175,000 miles on the car. My left front (driver side) upper wheel bearing is in need of repair as I have been informed. Should I also have the lower wheel bearing repaired at the same time too ? My mechanic mention that MOOG auto parts has a combination upper and lower wheel bearing assemble with the control arm and the bushings connected to the assemble. Is MOOG auto parts good to put on my Honda ? A Honda dealer gave me an estimate of approx. $425 for the upper and $275 for the lower repair. Any advice on the best manner to handle this repair issue is welcome. Thanks, Greg Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Nov 11, 2009 2:40 pm)

Replying to: gdougherty (Nov 11, 2009 6:48 am) Wheel bearings are outer/inner not upper/lower. Are you referring to bushings?

Replying to: elroy5 (Nov 10, 2009 3:14 pm) I will buy another set of wires. I am about to put on a different Distributor cap. I replaced my ignition coil before leaving St. Louis. I took off the distributor cap and it seemed unusually hot, upon closer inspection the plastic had that clearish discoloration on the side of it as if it had nearly melted. I replaced that, cleaned the distributor cap inside and made sure the rotor looked fine. I had a compression test done on this car too, that came back normal, but didn't have enough time or $$ to get the rest done right away.   Here is the odd part.   I found out specifically where the CEL will come on every time. On my 350+ mile drive up north the P0301 code (no other code or cylinder) would only come on when driving between 62-67 MPH in 5th gear and was feathering the gas to maintain speed. If I use 4th gear between 60-70MPH the misfire cyl 1 code will never appear.   Does this sound like an O2 sensor? If it is, could it be possible it would be just giving bad readings and not be actually bad? Possibly Mass Airflow Sensor?   I am thinking this is more RPM range + throttle position than anything exactly "speed" related. Any further ideas? Thank you for the help and info thusfar.

Replying to: Trhenning (Nov 11, 2009 3:54 pm) I was thinking about the Crankshaft position sensor, but that usually causes multiple misfires on random cylinders. Like you said, I think you are looking at something rpm related (distributor, coil, plug, wire etc.).
#1539 of 1549 Timing Belt question by abidk Nov 12, 2009 (11:00 am)
I recently bought a 97 accord with 85k on it. The manual recommends changing the timing belt at 105k or every 7 years. The car is 12 years old and looks in generally good shape but i have no idea what state the timing belt is in or if it was ever replaced. To replace the timing belt/water pump would cost about 500 bucks and I bought this car for under 5 grand as a cheap car to not spend money on. Is it really risky not changing it, because I want to avoid preventative maintenance costs on a car I bought so I wouldnt be spending money, or would I be risking severe damage? Basically, what kind of damage could I expect if the belt breaks, and is that something I should worry about before 105k (because it has been past the 7 years or is that not too important)?
