As long as the oem plugs are in good condition, I don't see any other type of plug adding HP. A lot of people like to buy higher resistance plug wires, and not matching up the rest of the ignition system. The way I hear it, if the spark plug wires are stronger, they will only put more pressure on the coil and other ignition parts. I say keep everything OEM. |

Replying to: tankbeans (Jan 05, 2009 3:52 pm) Sorry, but I was talking about rear disk brakes only. Should have made that clear, I guess.  My old truck had rear drums, and at 60k miles they still looked brand new.

I have a 2003 EX 4cyl. with 72K Miles. In the first snow storm of the year, my ABS light went on and my wheels would lock up, making my car just about undriveable. I was able to make it home and brought to my mechanic the next day. They replaced the calipers on my rear brakes, and the light went off. The next snow storm, the light went on again, and my wheels locked up. This time I had the car towed to my work parking lot. The next day, I drove the car and the light went off after about 5 monutes, and drives fine. My mechanic couldn't find anything else wrong. It sounds to me like a sensor problem when it snows, but I don't understand why the wheels are locking up? Has anyone experienced this??

Replying to: mfish99 (Jan 06, 2009 7:24 am) Does that mean that while you were driving and then applied the brakes, that one or more of the wheels locked up and began to slide on the slippery surface, and if so, which wheel(s)? Or, do you mean, that the brakes applied themselves and locked all four wheels, preventing you from driving the car? Or, do you mean something totally different from those scenarios?

| I have an squeal/grinding noise that appears to be coming from the pulley. Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to replace the belt tensioner pulley without having to R&R the tensioner assembly? Thank you. | |

Replying to: mfish99 (Jan 06, 2009 8:02 am) The car was stopped at a Stop sign. Applied the gas pedal gently, but no movement for a few seconds. I could feel the wheels spinning. The V6 has the TCS, and the TCS light didn't come on during that time. I noticed when that happened, the front wheel wells were filled with slushy snow on a slushy snow road. If the wheels are spinning, the brakes are not locked up. |

I read several posts about how hard it was to change the air filter on the Gen 7 Accord so I was a bit leery about it. However, it didn't take that long nor was it that hard. I read about removing intake hoses, etc., but all I did was loosen the four screws holding down the air cleaner housing cover. I did have to pull on it toward the engine to get it up and out from under the frame but it wasn't that tough. This was on the I-4, the V6 might be harder. I also changed the cabin filter... that puppy sure gets dirty.
