Replying to: bajajoes (Aug 25, 2009 4:12 pm) No the horn does not work if the panic button is pressed. The lights flash but no sound... Replies to this message: bajajoes (Aug 26, 2009 11:46 am)

Replying to: hondamomma1 (Aug 26, 2009 9:51 am) OK, If you have checked the wire to the horn and fuses and found nothing it would seem you need a pro. Maybe someone on this forum can suggest something. Good luck.

Replying to: kym28 (Aug 23, 2009 12:49 pm) From your description of inital start and then shutdown one possible culprit is the Main Relay Assmbly(PGM-EFI). I have not dealt with this problem only researched your description of what was happening. It was stated as a Common problem on Hondas. From the info I saw this item was behind the dash panel push button of the Cruise Control in older Accords. (Left of Steering column). http://techauto.awardspace.com pull up site and see what you think.

Replying to: kym28 (Aug 24, 2009 8:43 pm) My mechanic replaced the relay and I've had no problems since (fingers crossed)! FWIW, it was an $80 part, plus labor, for a total of about $120, not to mention the $40 I had to pay for the tow!!! Rap
#1864 of 1936 1999 Accord using oil by Mike_R1957 Sep 05, 2009 (8:58 am)
I've got a 99 Accord with nearly 147K that I'm wanting to sell, but is using oil like crazy, I'm talking a quarter every 300-500 miles. It doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere. Any advice? I've been using 5W30 weight oil. Could it be the rings? If so, what kind of money for that type of repair?

Replying to: Mike_R1957 (Sep 05, 2009 8:58 am) I meant to say a quart of oil every 300-500 miles. Yesterday, I picked up a quart of the Lucas Oil stabilizer and will see if that helps. The guys at the auto parts store said that using a lot of oil is very normal for higher mileage Hondas. They also suggested going to a heavier weight oil.

Replying to: Mike_R1957 (Sep 06, 2009 4:44 am) You can have a Cylinder Leakdown Test performed and this will tell you exactly what's going on. Could be many things, some serious, some not as serious.
#1867 of 1936 My Honda 1999 Accord stalls @ start up sometimes by riffraff Sep 11, 2009 (10:58 pm)
My 1999 Honda Accord Coupe LX with V6 vtech engine, will not start sometimes... I go to start it and it will not crank and sometimes if it does crank, it's a rough idle, then shut down and then it won't crank for four our five more attempts. More commonly, i've noticed that it happens after I fuel up. I'll get gas and odds are, it will hesitate, stall or do the rough idle and shut down deal. I'll keep trying and eventually, it will start, but only after about multiple attempts. I should confess that my check engine light is on... last time I had other work performed the dealer diagnosed and suggested I have the EGR valve replaced and the intake manifold cleaned and sleeved. I opted to get my timing belt, all other engine belts and throttle control valve sorted instead. Needless to say, I didn't have any coin left to take care of the check engine/EGR/intake manifold deal at that time. Anyway, the rough idle starts is cramping my style, so I'm going to take care of it next week. However, I'm fishing for solutions online. Since it occurs when I fuel up I was thinking to replace the fuel cap. All answers welcomed. Thank you.
#1868 of 1936 Honda Timing Belt Replacement Advice by zendao Sep 13, 2009 (6:03 pm)
I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer. I have a 2002 Honda Accord Ex. It current has approximately 74,400 miles and its seven years old. After a routine oil change, I was recently told by Honda maintenance that the timing belt will need to be changed. The standard maintenance schedule for belt replacement is 7 years or 105K miles. I was given a quote of $895 to change the timing belt (only?) from one Honda dealership. Another one said that it will be $1,000 (replacing two drive belts, the timing belt, water pump and run valve adjustments). 1. SInce I only have 74,000 miles, can I delay replacing the timing belt and if so for how long? 2. Should I replace the timing belt only or should I replace the other parts as mentioned above? 3. Do I have to go with Honda? Is it possible to get a better price and same service from places like Midas, Sullivan Tires, Meineke? 4. If I go with someone other than Honda, what kind of questions should I ask and are they suppose to use Honda parts for replacements?

Replying to: zendao (Sep 13, 2009 6:03 pm) You could probably put the timing belt off, for a little while, but I would not wait too long. All those parts and valve adjustment should be done at the same time (while they have everything apart for the timing belt change). You could probably get a better price from another shop, but I would suggest they use Honda parts. Just my opinion.
