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.

Replying to: dhski04 (Jul 09, 2007 4:42 pm) The CV joint will make a sort of "clicking" sound, with the wheel turned, at low speed (easier to hear it with the window open). If you are getting a "rattling" sound, it could be suspension components or body parts.

Replying to: siadn (Jul 09, 2007 10:19 am) I think you need to stop going to Merchants they are crooks, especially if you are at the Warrenton shop. Try Joe's, if you can get in or Striblings good luck.
#938 of 1936 99 V6, 30k miles, need maintenance recommendation by stuartf Jul 11, 2007 (6:40 am)
My parents drive very little, like maybe 10-15 miles a week at this point. I want to get their car services but not sure what I should have done, given the age vs. mileage question.   I am thinking change the fluids (oil, brake, coolant, tranny), cehck the t-belt and serpertine belt, change the air filter and the climate control filter. Other suggestions?? (They are still running the original tires, but I don't think the car ever goes over 30 MPH these days.   Thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 11, 2007 6:49 am)

Replying to: stuartf (Jul 11, 2007 6:40 am) I think I'd put that engine on a synthetic oil diet, since this will lessen the possibility of engine sludge. That poor engine will never get warm, and also fuel dilution of the oil might be a problem (running too rich a mixture at start-up but not driven enough to burn the fuel residue out of the oil).
#940 of 1936 Re: 2001 Accord dash lamps [thegodfather] by mk1371 Jul 12, 2007 (11:11 am)
Replying to: thegodfather (Jun 11, 2007 10:03 am) I have had the same issue. It happened once then went away. Now its back and worse. I've found that when I have the engine at higher RPM's, most of the time the lights go out. Did you find out what the problem was with your issue? It sounds very similar to the one I am having. Please let me know. Thanks. Replies to this message: user777 (Jul 12, 2007 4:01 pm)
