#1383 of 1391 98 Accord HVAC Display "Gasket" by gary May 06, 2008 (8:31 am)
I have a 1998 Accord EX-V6L. On the HVAC control display, there seems to be a rectangular gasket surrounding the display. Over time, this gasket has moved and the lower portion is now covering some of the graphics.   Is there a way to easily re-position the gasket or does it need to be replaced? Any quick step-by-step instructions for removal of this display?   Please advise. Thanks in advance!!
#1384 of 1391 left turn signal blinks rapidly on 99 accord by activex111 May 10, 2008 (10:24 am)
hi, The left turn signal on my 99 v6 accord started blinking rapidly. When th headlights are on, the blinking is no that rapid. Both the turn signal do come on, so the bulb is not out. Google search showed too many possibilities. Has someone experienced anything like this? Please let me know what do i need to check.. Thanks in advance.....

Replying to: activex111 (May 10, 2008 10:24 am) The same thing was happening on my Mazda MPV, and it turned out that the turn signal lamp had two filaments, and one of them had burned out. So the turn signal was still operational, but at a reduced intensity.
#1386 of 1391 mileage question? by pccoccl May 12, 2008 (12:25 pm)
Hi, I have a 2000 Honda accord SE and it's about 80,000 miles on it. Usually, it can run about 400 miles per tank. But recently, it only can run about 250 miles per tank after a fuel injection cleaning service at Walmart.   I have went back Walmart to ask but they told me the problem's not from their service.   So did anybody have same problem before? or any suggestions? Gas price is so high.   Thanks in advanced for your answer Replies to this message: thegraduate (May 12, 2008 12:33 pm) pccoccl (May 12, 2008 12:52 pm)

Replying to: pccoccl (May 12, 2008 12:25 pm) What is your actual mileage? Divide gallons pumped by miles driven. (250 miles divided by the gallons you pump after those 250 miles). Example: 250/10gallons = 25mpg. Replies to this message: pccoccl (May 12, 2008 12:52 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (May 12, 2008 12:33 pm) I usually pump 14 gallons or more. So it should be around 18mpg and I run city and highway both. As I know, city/highway is 23/30.
#1389 of 1391 Re: Comments on buying 98 Accord w/ 175K miles [elroy5] by trikev19 May 12, 2008 (1:42 pm)
Replying to: elroy5 (May 03, 2008 8:20 am) Owning a vehicle with 175K miles on it is going to cost money. Even an Accord that has always been maintained needs work. You may not have a monthly payment, but you'll have a payment. You won't know when or how much, but you'll have one. I own a 1994 Corolla with 177K miles. I paid $1,000 for it 2 years ago and it had 127K. I've replaced the radiator, major tune-up with timing belt, catalytic converter, tires, and most recently struts. These normal repairs have cost me thousands of dollars and I still have a 1994 Corolla worth about $1,000. I have no regrets and wouldn't consider selling my car. You must consider if it makes more sense to put $4,000 down on a new Accord and know what you have and what it will cost you every month or spend the $4,000 on the unknown.

Replying to: trikev19 (May 12, 2008 1:42 pm) In the five years I've had my 1996 Accord (Since Aug 2002 when it had 125k miles), I've found an average of $300 a year does it for repairs.   Brake Master Cylinder, Radiator, Front left driveaxle, were the big-bill items. I just put a timing belt, balance shaft belt, and water pump in it for $425 (the drive axle was $300, and a new exhaust valve gasket-cover was $35, no labor since the engine was already torn-down to do the belt, which fixed an oil leak- all this was done a week ago for $760 total).   My car still tracks beautifully with no steering slack, and will do 100 MPH without protest (I had to go stormchasing the other night and had to get to the TV Station in a great big hurry! - traffic was light and my 180k mile Honda was ready!). I live in Alabama, and my mechanic told me "I'd drive it to California, today."   I would too.
#1391 of 1391 Surging tachometer by bimmer4me May 15, 2008 (2:23 pm)
I have a 99 Accord EX with 59k well maintained according to the Honda manual. I just came back from a 300 mile round trip to my parents and couldn't help notice while cruising at 70, no head winds, no incline my tachometer jumps from the normal 2500 rpms to about 2800 rpms sporadically and then resumes back to 2500 rpms. Is this normal? Elroy and others have given good advice for others with questions. Appreciate any input.
