Hi all, The battery/alternator light came on when I was driving my 1991 Accord today morning. The light goes off when the rpm goes above a certain level: it was 2500rpm in the morning, but when I checked in the evening, it was 4000rpm. I replaced the battery a few months ago, so my first guess was...

Hi all, I have a 1991 Honda Accord with about 121,000 miles on it. I am moving from Lafayette, IN to Baltimore, MD, and I am considering driving my car for this long trip (about 650 miles). Could anyone please help me with the following concerns? 1. I plan to have a mechanic inspect my car...

Hi all, A few days ago, I had to jumstrat my 1991 Honda Accord because I forgot to switch off some lights when I parked the car overnight. The battery was almost completely drained at the time of the jumpstart ( I guess some charge was still left because the dashboard lights came on dimly and...

Hi all, I went to the local honda dealer today to correct a minor problem that I had with a seat belt of my 1991 Honda Accord . After diagnosing the problem with the seatbelt, the technician came back to me saying that the timing belt is due for replacement. He then quoted ~$700 for replacing the...

Hi all, I live in Baltimore, MD, and I recently had to take my 1991 Honda Accord DX to a mechanic because the car did not pass the NOx emissions test. I had the emission mechanic do a fuel system service and replace the catalytic converter, and the car passed the test. Now, the emission...

Hi all, I recently bought a 1991 Honda Accord. Last week, I took it to this self-service car wash station where I had an option to wash the engine of the car. But, I did not try the engine wash thinking it might cause some damage. Is washing the engine good for the car? Is it okey if someone like...

Hi all, I have a 1991 Honda Accord which has this strange problem: the windshield wiper fluid comes out of the nozzles only when I operate it with the hood open. When the hood is closed, no fluid comes out. I can hear the motor working and there is enough fluid in the tank. I also visually checked...

Hi all, The driver side door of my 91 Honda Accord cannot be opened from inside. I can only open it from outside. Has anyone had this problem before? I am also wondering whether it is easy to get access to the mechanical parts inside the door so that I can see what is wrong, and possibly,...

Hi all, I bought a used 1991 Honda Accord DX Coupe recently, and it has been giving me problems. Sometimes the engine would stall while driving, and I have to restart the car. This happens both at signals and on the highway. It also sometimes would not start after parking somewhere. I gather this...

Hi all, I have a 1991 Honda Accord. I just checked the radiator coolant level. The level inside the radiator seems to be okey, but the reserve tank is nearly empty so that the connecting tube just touches the coolant surface. I had a mechanic check the level, and he said it is okey. However the...

Got in the 2001 Prelude this morning (40K miles). Started it and hit AC button about the same time and the bugger stalled and all the lights came on. Cranked but wouldn't start. Sounded a bit weak as well. Did the 'if you had a carb & flooded it routine' i.e., floored it and cranked. It limped...

Just started doing this. A whine that sounds like a truck transmission. It follows the speed of the engine. It sounds like it's coming from the right front engine area (as you face the engine compartment). I figured belt? water pump? 145K. Anybody have a clue who's had a similar problem? I did an...

For various reasons, I want to cancel $190 gift card I bought 2 days earlier. They won't/ can't do it. They called corporate(?) I'm guessing, and were turned down. The only thing I could find in writing is the line (on the back of the card) "not redeemable for cash." I don't want cash, I just want...

My daughter's been driving my '91 Acura (she's 18). This is the same car that had its oil drain bolt stipped by Jiffy-Lube recently, and had its AC converted to the newer coolant not long ago. She mentioned the battery light came on the other day. I told her this car eats a battery about every 4...

Like where is the alt? Is it driver or pass. side. Is it hidden by the plastic baffles from below? I have the car jacked up one one side. Is this the...

I know you've done this, but I don't expect you to remember all the details. I'll ask anyway. I finally got the cover off the '91 Integra gs alternator (manual tranny w AC). Had to loosen the electrical connector on top and the surrounding plastic tube encircling it. I then pried the cover off with...

I have a honda accord 2004 and when the air conditioner is on the lights dim for a brief sec.about every 12 to 15 sec.when the fan starts up it even does this when the motor is cold . I have taken this to the dealer and they say it is a normal thing for this car. Does anyone else have this problem?

The running lights, that is the tail lights, small front lights and the dash lights won't turn off when the lights are turned off, whether the engine is oon or off. 2001 Honda Accord. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening ? My son said it happened a few months ago for a short while and...

Something I recently noticed while researching the CR-V as a possible choice. The rear bumper and the rear hatch. If the rear bumper is hit, so is the rear hatch and any minor or major damage to the bumper is nothing compared to the repair cost of the rear hatch. Suddenly the side opening...

I will be hoping to buy perhaps sometime next year. Currently leaning towards the Rav 4. Which is better, the Rav 4 or Honda's CR-V ? Consumer Reports rates the CR-V better, but the Rav 4 is actually better, according to Consumer Reports. That's because CR highly recommends the CR-V even though...
