Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 21, 2006 9:25 am) The problem has been going on for a year!! So regarding the gas cap I am doubtful...I have filled up the petrol tank many times. But I will have the gas cap looked at..Perhaps it does not close tightly. Also the light seems to go on when the engine warms up ... after a few minutes. Now in the winter, it takes a bit longer till the light goes on.. Re the TEMP GAUGE The temp gauge does not go on - it cannot, but if the engine will (hopefully not) heat up, then I will be able to see it on the gauge .. I actually burnt up my engine last year, as I did not notice the temp gauge heating up (The car had just been serviced and I suspect someone did not close the radiator cap) and I was distracted by the Check Engine light and did not see the temperature gauge going up up up!

| I have a 94 honda accord ex and i am looking 2 make some big changes with a little bit of money, right now i am focused on my radiator its been smoking so i ordered a new one and i think i'm going to put it in myself because the auto shop wanted to charge 400.00 to put in. so if any one has done it before let me know how it went and if you have any other suggestions let me know. 1 | |
so my door locks are making this weired noise when i lock my doors i have no idea what it is and it is driving me crazy  . If any one can help me with this problem please do. Now about my windows they go up and down super slow one of the main reasons i believe thats the case is because the rubber linning is catching the window but its just the driver and passenger side windows the back two are fine. Cant get tint on the widows if they go up and down so super slowly rinkeled tint doesnt look good.

It's the power lock actuator going bad. Sometimes I have to lock my passenger side rear door manually, or try to power lock it 3-6 times before it will go. As far as the power windows go, motors wear out and slow down on MANY cars, yours isnt an exception. Mine are slow too, but still work fine. thegrad

Replying to: mervmill (Jan 21, 2006 9:55 am) The V6 has a known problem which is covered by Honda's extended warranty (discused here previously).... If it applies to outside the USA, that's a different story... |

I've owned this car since '98. Spent more time & $$ on this car than on the 12+ ex-Police cars I owned previously. ABS unit, starter, ignition switch, exhaust sys.(several times), and more. Just took it in for inspection & was told it will need $1500 in repairs/labor to pass. Gas line rotting along with brake lines, leaking rear tranny seal, & leaking oilpan gasket. NE area of US is rough on cars. I have 103k on the car and that's it for me. Selling the car and buying a Crown Vic.

Replying to: why7 (Jan 21, 2006 12:27 pm) You might try some silicone spray lubricant on the window seals. You can get a can for a couple bucks at a hardware or auto parts store. A few years ago, I had an '89 Accord DX (with manual windows). The driver's window took a lot of effort to open/close. I put the windows down, sprayed the lubricant along the seals, moved the windows up & down a couple times and repeated with more lubricant. It was much easier to open/close the windows after that. |

I think I need to replace my thermostat on a '97 accord but can anyone tell me where that is located and how easy it is to replace?
