| '98 Accord 4 cyl. I have had a Check Engine light on for awhile as well as some problems with stalling (not often). The acceleration has been shaky from a standstill as well, it hesitates. The diagnosis was that it needs a new PCM. Quote was $1,000 parts and labor. Reasonable? Thanks. | |

If you have had this done, take those records (if you have them, if not, ask for them to look up when it was serviced) with you when asking for repair. Make sure everyone in that dealership knows you did have the car serviced, you'll have a better chance at getting some "help" towards the cost of your transmission if you can prove you were proactive at maintaining it. Keep us posted, I'm eager to know how it turns out!  TheGrad |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 29, 2009 2:44 pm) Wednesday, I take it to the dealer where I bought it to verify it's trashed to Honda and wait and see if they offer any goodwill. I have faithfully followed all maintence, including transmission. I had the car serviced at the dealership where I bought it for 8 out of 9 years, and still go there for anything I'm really concerned about (replaced starter in Jan 09).

Hi there, I have a 1999 Accord, LX, 4 cyl. The odometer reads 132,xxx miles now. At 120,000, I took the car to Precision Tune for a major service, during which they changed the transmission fluid and break fluid. I happened to read the manual yesterday and notice that it says always use genuie honda fluids for both. "You may temporarily put in alternatives like Dexron III ATF, and Dot 3 break fluids, but should bring the car to the dealer and changed to OEM fluid as soon as you can". Given the fact that my car has been running normal for the last 12K miles, I am wondering whether this is just to release honda from liability. Basically, should I go to the dealer and have both changed to Honda fluids now, or I can wait until 150,000 miles service. Thanks in advance for your input.

Replying to: psalministry1 (May 05, 2009 7:39 pm) Since in your case sometime it works, it might be a bad fuse. Check the driver side fuse box, and see if the fuse for the panel is ok. try replacing it the same power from some other slots to see whether it fixes the panel. If you can't find another fuse of the same power from the driver side, try getting the passenger side fuse box, and get similar fuse. Other option would be bad climate control (my case), read on the net that the climate control panel is gone, went to the local junkyard, bought the 99 climate control panel, and installed it myself. everything on the climate control started to work. |
