The O2 sensor would have to be tested to know for sure. Since the code stored was for the cat efficiency, and not for the sensor, testing or replacing the sensor, is the only way to know for sure. Good luck

The settlement was approved by the judge. The link for the website that has all the information is hondatransmissionsettlement.com. You can also type in your VIN to be sure you vehicle is covered.

Accord with problem

93 accord driving along the road when suddenly the car slows to a stop. The engine is still running but doesn't respond to accelerator. After turning engine off and re starting, idiot lights came on and no accelerator response.
Car is 1200 miles away and I'm trying to help mom to keep from getting ripped-off. Any thoughts?

I've got no idea (not a great mechanic here), but I would suggest posting this in the board that is for the specific year for your mom's car. You'll find it here, the 1990-1993 Problems and Solutions Board. Good luck with your quest for answers!

Are you saying that the engine doesn't respond (engine doesn't rev up and down with the accelerator), or the engine responds, but the wheels don't? If the engine doesn't respond, you may just have a disconnected throttle cable.

2001 Honda Accord V6 Timing Belt

I have been told by the dealer my timing belt needs to be replaced  70,000 miles. I thought the V6 had a timing chain. If so how often should a belt or chain be replaced if the car is running fine.

Yes, the V6 has a timing belt. The 4cyl. has a chain. The owner's manual should have the mileage/time recommended interval for changing it. I would go by the normal conditions, unless your car is subjected to really severe conditions. After the interval for normal conditions, you are gambling with the life of your engine.

I think every 90,000 is about right, but check your manual and do what it says. Your engine will run fine until the belt snaps; there will be no warning of its deterioration; one day, if not replaced, it will just break, wreaking havoc (and thousands of dollars of damage) in your engine. Get it done as you manual states (my 1996 Accord I-4 is at every 90k miles).
