#547 of 1327 1995 Honda accord. Tranny slipping by emcsqrd Oct 21, 2006 (7:17 am)
I recently changed my trans due to slipping. After replacing the tranny the same slipping is still happening. My thought is I used the same black magnetic cylinder and it appeared to not go in correctly. What I need to know is what this black 3 inch long one inch round magnetic cylinder is called so I can order a new one. Anyone know.. THANKS
#548 of 1327 What is wrong w/my car? by hudgika Oct 26, 2006 (5:59 pm)
Ok everyone I will try to be to the point .. I need help! I have owned my 1996 Honda accord LX w/113,000 miles for 2 years and it has never not started. Monday morning I stop for gas, get back in my car and it won't start. It sat at the gas station for 9 hours. I go to back to it thinking I will have to jump it but it started. I drove straight to auto store and they said bad battery. I replaced the battery and still no start. The next day I replace the starter, still no start. Several hours after I replace the starter I tried to start the car and it started. I drove it home. The next day again it won't start. I have now replaced the ignition switch and still no start. When you turn the key all lights and radio come on. Any ideas????

Replying to: hudgika (Oct 26, 2006 5:59 pm) Do you hear anything when you turn the key? Any clicking? Do you have an aftermarket alarm installed? The reason I ask this is because between my two 97 Accords and my 89 Civic Si I have had the same type of starting problems. Check the battery cables both positive and negative. They may give you enough power for dash lights, but not enough to turn the starter over. The next time the car doesn't start jiggle the battery cables and see if it starts. You may have a loose connection or a corrosion problem. Clean or replace them if necessary. It cost me $15 each, problem fixed. Another time the car would start when it felt like it. I had changed the battery and starter and it still had the same problem. Finally, I got so frustrated I figured what the heck and changed the starter kill relay on my aftermarket alarm. Found out is was sticking open cutting power to the starter. After all that money spent it was just a $5.00 relay. Hope this helps Replies to this message: hudgika (Oct 27, 2006 6:30 pm) hudgika (Oct 27, 2006 6:32 pm) neeper_97 (Oct 31, 2006 11:17 am)

Replying to: neeper_97 (Oct 20, 2006 12:39 am) Update, Was hoping for bad tumblers in the ignition switch, but the switch just plain wore out. Cost me $300 to have Honda replace and rekey it.

Replying to: neeper_97 (Oct 27, 2006 1:07 am) Thanks. I believe we may have figured it out. I believe it may have something to do with the relay you mentioned. We figured every time I used my fob to unlock and then my key it would start, but if you did not use the fob to unlock then the car will not start. I know it has something to do with the anti-theft system or alarm. Now that we thought about it being the alarm , I remember a couple of weeks before it started doing this problem it was giving me problems like; the door locks would go up and down by themselves, I would not lock the car and would come back to it and it would be locked, and I would go to unlock it w/the fob and the alarm would go off. So can you tell me where the relay is located?

Replying to: neeper_97 (Oct 27, 2006 1:07 am) Oh and I forgot ...I am not sure if the alarm is aftermarket or not! Is there a way I can tell? Replies to this message: neeper_97 (Oct 31, 2006 11:17 am)
#553 of 1327 High revs between shifting by lonus29 Oct 29, 2006 (4:40 pm)
I have a 1994 Honda accord ex with a 2.2 4cyl. automatic. I am having high revs when it goes to shift to 3rd and 4th gear. I don't know that much about transmissions so I was wondering if I am losing my transmission or could it be something simpler or cheaper? Replies to this message: thegraduate (Oct 29, 2006 6:49 pm)

Replying to: lonus29 (Oct 29, 2006 4:40 pm) How high are you talking here? Granted, it may be a moot point, but it might help some experts here (one of which I'm NOT, even though I have a 1996 2.2L Auto LX). I wish you the best of luck regardless!

Replying to: hudgika (Oct 27, 2006 6:32 pm) Sounds like your alarm could be malfunctioning or you just need to disarm your alarm/starter kill using your key fob every time you start your car. If this is different than what you have had to do in the past and it's your only inconvenience just leave it alone. If not, have it looked at. Without looking at your key fob or alarm I can't really tell you if it's a stock alarm or aftermarket. My two 97 Accords didn't have the option of a stock alarm. Take it to a car alarm installation shop or if you know anybody that has any experience with alarms they should be able to tell you. Good luck
#556 of 1327 1994 Honda Accord Engine Head replacement by carrelman2 Nov 01, 2006 (7:13 pm)
I own a 1994 Honda Accord with 241,000 miles on it. I love this car and it has been very good to me. All of the standard repairs have been performed that are usually ascribed to a car this age. My current problem: losing oil and coolant replacing 1 quart a week. My dilema : I received a quote of $1600 to remove/replace engine head and valve. Replace gaskets and tune up parts. The body is in good shape. There is no way I can afford a can afford another car at this time. Possibly a preowned certified one for abut 8K if I sweat it. Shall I put the 94 on life support for another year?????? Replies to this message: jjv99 (Nov 04, 2006 3:25 pm)
