#926 of 1936 Re: Problem with 1998 Honda Accord? Please Help!? [krimsontide1] by elroy5 Jul 04, 2007 (5:39 am)
Replying to: krimsontide1 (Jul 03, 2007 8:32 pm) Your problem could be related to the ignition switch. Click on this link http://techauto.bravehost.com/, then click on ignition switch at the left and symptoms at the top. Does any of this sound familiar? I'm not sure, but there may have been a recall on this. Good luck.
#927 of 1936 Timing belt by austinman7 Jul 08, 2007 (8:37 am)
I've just purchased a 2000 Accord LX coupe with 113,000 miles on it and have no service records on the car. Is there any way to tell if the timing belt has been replaced?   I see the owner's manual says to replace timing belt and balancer belt at 105,000, and to check the water pump. Is it a good idea to go ahead and replace the water pump anyway, since I understand it's hard to get to, but easy to do it when replacing the timing belt.   Thanks.

Replying to: austinman7 (Jul 08, 2007 8:37 am) Replace the belt and the pump simultaneously.$850 at my H dealer in Dallas. Call the orig. owner and see if work was done at a dealer. They can just reprint the services performed. Replies to this message: austinman7 (Jul 09, 2007 12:13 pm) blufz1 (Jul 09, 2007 3:03 pm)
#929 of 1936 Honda Accord 2001 Front Brakes by siadn Jul 09, 2007 (10:19 am)
I recently had my front brake pads and rotors replaced. However not too long after driving I noticed that when I am coming to a stop while on the brakes there is a grinding sound. I took it back to Merchants and the guy told me he checked the brakes again and said it it not the brakes. Now he is saying I would have to do a different diagnostic. I am not paying them anymore money and gonna take my car for a second opinion.   Could this be something else besides the brakes. This was not making the noise before I had them replaced.

Replying to: blufz1 (Jul 08, 2007 9:07 am) Well, I finally found out that the previous owners didn't do the timing belt replacement, so that's No. 1 on my list. Got a quote of $700 from my Honda dealer for timing belt, balancer belt, accessory belts, and water pump.   They may want to drain and replace the fluids in the brake and power steering systems, also. I understand Honda corporate has recommended against flushing these systems out because the pressure of the flush can force tiny metal flakes into places they would never otherwise go, leading to premature wear. The standard "drain and replace" is recommended, even though dealers like the flush because it's easy profit. Sound about right?   Don't know if the same idea applies to replacing the coolant.

Replying to: austinman7 (Jul 09, 2007 12:13 pm) Sounds right. I'd replace the coolant and change the oil,too. Look on the net to see if you can get a service special for them to match or a discount coupon.

Replying to: krimsontide1 (Jul 03, 2007 8:32 pm) This same thing just happened to my sister today in her 99 Accord LX 4-cyl automatic. No smoke from the steering column, but it also didn't immediately restart. I had her tow it to the Honda dealer (90K miles). She was able to restart the car using the extra key, which she happened to have on her, but then it conked out again a few minutes later. Have you figured out what was wrong with yours?

Replying to: LanceL99 (Jul 09, 2007 3:31 pm) Probably the ignition switch.
#934 of 1936 Rattling When Turning Left by dhski04 Jul 09, 2007 (4:42 pm)
When I am driving at slower speeds (under 30), I can hear a metallic rattling coming from what sounds like the front left. It generally happens when I am turning left or reversing to the right. I read some other postings that suggested a bad CV joint might be to blame, but I looked at the boots underneath on both sides (and inner and outer) and saw no signs of a leak or break. Any other ideas? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jul 09, 2007 5:08 pm) elroy5 (Jul 09, 2007 5:20 pm) dgrge (Jul 28, 2007 8:49 am) johneb18 (Jul 30, 2007 5:19 am)

Replying to: dhski04 (Jul 09, 2007 4:42 pm) You don't need a leak or brake in the rubber, for the CV joint to be bad.
