#41 of 1548 ABS Problem 94 Accord by gerwan Jan 13, 2006 (6:43 am)
I have a 1994 Accord EX wagon that was involved in a accident that required replacement of the ABS unit. I've purchased 2 different used units in addition to the original unit, had them installed and the system bled but the same problem occurs. It makes a whining noise when I first start the car and then the noise stops eventually. The other problem is that the ABS light comes on and and stays on and the brakes don't work without a lot of foot effort. Any guesses on what is causing the failure?

#42 of 1548 Lost ignition Key 1994 Accord by joea22a Jan 13, 2006 (6:12 pm)
I have a 1994 accord and I lost they only key I had. I had the dealership make me another with the VIN it works great on the doors but not in the ignition. Turns out that the ignition must have been replaced before I bought the car.   To have a locksmith make me a key it will cost $120. I was wondering if anyone on here could tell me how to make the car start without a key. I don't care if the car starts with a screw driver. It is the bigest POS on earth I bought it at an auction......need I say more. So please any advice would be much appreciatied.

Replying to: gerwan (Jan 13, 2006 6:43 am) I can't offer help, but in addition to the problems with my 95 v-6 Accord outlined above, the car has had several ABS problems. Major parts of the system were replaced under the extended warranty and later (only a few K miles later) the new system required repair. No problems since then. But we also have a 94 Accord; at low mileage (40K, but beyond the warranty) all of the major components failed. Honda said all components needed to be replaced but wouldn't cover them, even though it appears that Honda's ABS system in those years had basic deficiencies in design and quality. I disconnected the fuse for the ABS because it had locked up the calipers onto the rear brake pads and caused a major expense in replacing the complete braking components in the rear--calipers, pads, bearing, rotors, etc. Very expensive brake job for two wheels! We have other Honda cars (two--2000 & 2001 Acuras, one with high mileage)and no problems. SMARIN

Replying to: haefr (Dec 31, 2005 1:02 pm) How can you tell if a junk actuator is still good though? The problem with my car is I can't lock the driver's side door since even the manual lock triggers the power lock system to also lock the passenger side. So locking the driver's lock in any way causes it to keep locking over and over again, and doesn't stop. So I haven't been able to fully lock my car for over 2 months now. Luckily nothing has been taken from inside! I'm just trying to make sure it's my actuator before I spend the $200 to buy and replace one. I'm the typical starving college student, except I just had to replace my tranny totalling $1200 and my radiator before that at $400. I really don't have money to spare on a needless repair, so I want to be right the first time.

#46 of 1548 Re: Replacing radiator in 97 Accord (any tips) [techman41973] by neeper_97 Jan 20, 2006 (9:50 am)
Replying to: techman41973 (Jan 11, 2006 2:23 pm) I just changed my radiator two days ago and it was pretty easy. I found it easier to remove the fans prior to removing the radiator and vice versa on the install due to the air conditioning hose being in the way. I purchased my radiator through the site below for $91 which included shipping and it arrived in perfect condition in 3 days. http://www.carpartswholesale.com. The entire process was pretty straight forward and not difficult at all. Also, while you have the radiator out you might want to inspect the front engine mount as mine was cracked. Jack up the engine enough to see if it is cracked with the weight off of it. If it is cracked you won't get better access to it.

#47 of 1548 Check Engine Light in Honda Accord 1996 by mervmill Jan 21, 2006 (7:57 am)
Check Engine Light goes on after a few minutes of driving and mechanic cannot diagnose the problem. Says there is nothing wrong. I would like to find a way to solve the problem. Can you help???

Replying to: mervmill (Jan 21, 2006 7:57 am) mervmill,   I reccommend going to Auto Zone and having their free (at least in Birmingham, they advertise it as "Free") check engine diagnostic test done. It may help you determine the problem. They use a computer to read the warning light codes showing up in your car.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 21, 2006 8:47 am) Thx for the tip, but I am in Tel Aviv. I guess that I could try another garage and a different computer. My mechanic is confounded and does not know what to make of it. It is a problem as now I don't have a warning light other than temp and I will have difficulty in selling the car with this "feature"!!

Replying to: mervmill (Jan 21, 2006 9:01 am) Ohhh, ok. that does change things! This may be a stupid question, but have your checked your gas cap? If it isn't on tight on many Honda's, the Check Engine light comes on. After tightening a couple clicks extra and driving for 10 minutes, it goes back off.   It is a problem as now I don't have a warning light other than temp and I will have difficulty in selling the car with this "feature"!!   I'm confused, I thought the check engine light was on? Is the temp gauge registering as hot? Replies to this message: mervmill (Jan 21, 2006 9:55 am) mamamia2 (Jan 21, 2006 1:03 pm)
