#1682 of 1936 Headlight replacement by smith764 Apr 02, 2009 (9:09 am)
Joe, Having changed the headlight assembly on a '98 Accord coupe, I only had to remove the screws and the electircal connectors.   Edit: I was able to get it replaced without removing the bumper, but it was a bit of a pain as it had to be gently worked in there.   -Smith

Replying to: dan158 (Mar 23, 2009 5:06 pm) Dan,   You should also check your negative battery cable as a remote possiblility. Over time the cable or ground can become bad. A small screw attaches the cable to the vehicle. If the ground is loose a bump in the road or vibration can cause hesitation and failure. I would pull apart the ground and make sure everything is clean. Might even want to start with a new cable and screw. Bad ground or loose cables can create all kinds of issues especially with engine death and starting. I would think your shop would have looked into this but you never know. Good luck.   Rick
#1684 of 1936 Unusual problem? by mitchflorida Apr 06, 2009 (2:34 pm)
When it is very cold outside (unusual in South Florida), my 1999 Accord sort of sputters when it starts and runs very rough for the first few minutes. It sounds like it will stall out, and the check engine light goes on. After a day (and warmer weather), the engine starts normally, and the check engine light goes away on its own. This has happened to me 3 times this winter. The check engine light is off for now, but I am afraid it will come back with the cold weather.   Has anyone had a similar problem?

Replying to: mitchflorida (Apr 06, 2009 2:34 pm) If possible, while the Check Engine light is on, take it to AutoZone and let them read the CEL code to see what the problem is.

Replying to: justintamm (Apr 02, 2009 8:36 am) Drain and fill the transmission fluid using only Honda brand ATF. Drive a week and repeat. Drive another week and repeat. Only about 1/3 of the ATF drains each time. Good luck.

Replying to: elroy5 (Mar 23, 2009 6:15 pm) Thanks. Turned out to be related to that... the ignition pigtail inside the column. Starts and runs perfectly now-no stalling and starts every time. thanks.
#1688 of 1936 2000 Honda Accord by smonitor88 Apr 11, 2009 (4:54 pm)
My car is an automatic and everytime it shifts out of the first gear it clunks. My car is a little bit over 130,000 miles. I've had the Honda dealership look at it they said that the transmission is going out. I was wondering if anyone knew how much it should be to get a rebuilt transmission put in and also if anyone from the MN Twin Cities area knew any good, reliable auto repair shops.
