oil light coming on,on my 94 accord ex
oil light started coming on last week, no all the time though, started
by just coming on when at idle, give it the gas light goes off, so park it or a few days, drove it again, fine for a couple days, then light starts flashing, equal on- off flashes, turn it off for a few minutes, light would barley come on, give it the gas light would go off, let a sit a few hours drive it a little while, light started coming on dim....parked since then...ok bought new sending unit, where exactly is the unit at? found what I thought would be it ( back of engine (left side) under distributor ) but does not look what parts store gave me, as far as nut sizes the one on the car is small, the one I bought is big, and of course the size wrench I need to pull it off is in my work toolbox , am I looking at the right thing? also just thinking, before all this started happening, I changed my oil 2 weeks prior, could it possible be a crappy fram sure-grip oil filter... any help would be much appreciated |

See if the drawing on the lower right of this page (for a 91-93 Accord) helps. http://media.honda.co.uk/car/owner/m...ls/AccordManua l/400/16-125.pdf Autozone's free repair guide describes the location as follows: "On 1990-1995 Accords (except V-6) and 1988-1995 Preludes, look for it above or below the oil filter, threaded into the side of the engine block. On V-6 Accords, it is threaded into the block above the oil filter next to the crank pulley." The Autozone procedure says to use a non-hardening sealant blah blah on the new threads and specifies a certain torque. I recommend reviewing it. www.autozone.com , follow the pointers to the free repair guides yada. > also just thinking, before all this started happening, I changed my oil > 2 weeks prior, could it possible be a crappy fram sure-grip oil > filter... I assume the dipstick oil level checks out fine. If so, I would not suspect the filter. I've used Fram filters before. I can't believe it would cause this type of problem. |

Similar symptoms on my 93 accord (@about 147,000 miles) turned out to be
a severely worn cam bearing. vrobb3 wrote: > oil light started coming on last week, no all the time though, started > by just coming on when at idle, give it the gas light goes off, so park > it or a few days, drove it again, fine for a couple days, then light > starts flashing, equal on- off flashes, turn it off for a few minutes, > light would barley come on, give it the gas light would go off, let a > sit a few hours drive it a little while, light started coming on > dim....parked since then...ok > > |
