#1913 of 1922 Re: 2000 Accord V6 Coupe - Trouble Starting [raprider] by mecanfixit Oct 21, 2009 (8:02 am)
Replying to: raprider (Aug 18, 2009 11:59 am) Raprider, I have a 2000 V6 Accord 4-Dr with similar problems. Intermittent problem for last two months. It would stall after a warm start and run rough till it clears and runs fine for days, if not weeks. Then it would happen again, and I thought it had something to do with the gas cap or bad gas. Local Firestone shop can find no problem, couldn't recreate. Took it to dealer and they recommended replacing all 6 fuel injectors, EGR valve, cleaning intake ports etc, but had the disclaimer that this would take care of the problem with 98% success but it could still happen again. Needless to say I had no confidence in this but did change the EGR valve and it ran fine for a week. Several entries in this forum showed similar failures even after following the advice of EGR replacement, fuel-injector cleaning and intake manifold ports etc.   Spaman made an entry (#10930) in June of 2005 that suggests his wife had a similar problem and "We finally changed the electronic board that controls the spark plug firing ($200) and it solved the problem." That makes me hopeful but I want to make sure this indeed is a correct solution.   I'm new to the forum and don't yet know how to contact a member and so hopefully this will get the word out. Anyone had this as a solution?
#1914 of 1922 Life expectancy by apappaslaw Oct 24, 2009 (5:53 pm)
I have a 1999 Honda Accord 4 cylinder with 199,000 miles. It runs well. I never did any maintenance to the transmission. I last changed the timing belt at 95,000 miles. I was wondering if I should change it again or put the money towards another Honda? How many miles can I reasonably expect from this car? Thanks for your help.

Replying to: apappaslaw (Oct 24, 2009 5:53 pm) Thats a great run, getting 200K. I personally would probably move on before putting much money into it. I found a 2001 Accord 5 speed manual 4 cylinder with 53,000 miles, 1 owner, for 6K. Am loving the car for commuting, getting 33 MPG highway. I plan on piling the miles on this baby.
#1916 of 1922 Transmission Replacement Accord EX 2002 by anri Oct 28, 2009 (10:44 pm)
Hi,   My mechanic tells me that transmission fluid is leaking from my car and that there is a crack in the case. The transmission will have to be replaced and it will cost $1700. I have a few questions:   1. Since I already have 126K miles on the car. Is it even worth to spend that much money on transmission replacement. Cant I just keep refilling the fluid as it gets low?   2. If I do get it replaced. Is $1700 a reasonable price? What warranty I should get along woth that?   3. What price I might get if I trade in my vehicle as is? (I spent $1650 on the car last year for the 105K miles sevice)   Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
#1917 of 1922 Scraping noise by bassmark Nov 05, 2009 (3:13 pm)
Hi. Our 2006 Honda Accord (V-Tech six cylinder) has started making a metallic scraping noise when driving as if a metal strip were dangling from underneath the car. It occurs randomly, but seems more prevalant when curving right.   After looking under the car and finding nothing, I thought about the brakes at first, but it occurs while cruising as well. Speed is not a factor and we actually hear it better moving slowly through residential areas. Sure would appreciate some input on this.   Thanks, bassmark2000yahoo.com Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Nov 05, 2009 3:21 pm) thegraduate (Nov 05, 2009 8:40 pm)

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) Was one of the tires recently removed and replaced?   It's common when removing a tire to lower it before it fully clears the thin metal shield behind the rotor. They can be easily bent and will rub the rotor. When you make your right turn, the rotor tilts ever so slightly and makes contact to shield.   Mrbill

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) When brake pads are worn out, they make a metallic scraping/screeching sound when the brakes are not being applied. Check the pads.

Replying to: morphius909 (Oct 18, 2009 10:08 am) You can replace the light behind the odometer. It's just like the light that burns out for the clock. Buy the light and follow the instructions on the forum below:   http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f13/odometer-lights-327164/

Replying to: obi3ice (Nov 07, 2009 10:19 pm) No free lunch there, unless someone here would volunteer to do this for you on their account, which THEY pay for. It's actually pretty cheap to do this. Sometimes the dealer or seller will do this for you if you ask.
