I have a black 1998 Accord Coupe and the body is in great condition other than this one spot. It's on the roof, near my sunroof. The clearcoat is coming off and the paint is too... It looks awful and when I had it priced at a body shop, they wanted to charge around 600-1000 dollars to fix it. I can't afford that at this time, so is there a cheap alternative that I could maybe do myself? Others don't notice it, but I see it everytime I look at the car. Would it be a huge mistake to just paint over the entire spot? Thanks! Shana

Thank you user777 and mrbill1957 for your guidance [check message #1074]. Through much Trial and Error (more error than trial), discovered it was the cooling fan timer with an intermittent problem. took awhile to locate (and broke one or two tabs  ) in the process. Same general location as info you forwarded, but well hidden in newer evolution model. knuckles scrapes common. Delay in response - that's for another forum. Thanks for your insight and guidance.

My Honda is shutting off as others have reported and I've also taken it to the dealer only to be charged for a diagnosis that didn't find the problem. In summary the dealer could not replicate the problem and thus recommended new dist cap, rotor, wires and plugs. I replaced all these parts. Problem reoccurred. Car shuts down whether traveling at any speed and anywhere. After 4 or 5 turns of the ignition, it will run fine for miles. However, every day it shuts down at some time while I'm driving. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: rthomax (May 31, 2008 10:46 am) I finally took it to an auto electric specialist that wasn't quite as close to me. I gave him all the history and symptoms. There was no indication from the engine except you'd get no acceleration when you stepped on the gas and the digital odometer would go blank. Although he couldn't get it to cut-off, he saw a problem with the electronic portion of the ignition switch and said it should be replaced no matter what. He was very good about asking questions and ruling out the other possibilities like the main relay and the components within the distributor assembly (coil, igniter, etc.). He replaced it and I've put about 800+ miles on it with no failures. A good auto electric specialist usually doesn't deal with anything but electrical problems and is a lot better that the general automotive facilities.

Hi My accord 2000, 2.0i uses oil on long distances.No smoke from exhaust and no leak from below the engine.Fault light came on after i bought it as the oil was completely finished.Engine itself is smooth and no extra noises.It has done 84000 with full service history.One mechanic has said that it's normal for the car to use oil.It's using approx a gallon for 4000 miles.Recent service has not picked up any faults
