My mechanic tells me the diagnostics report says the ORVR on my 1999 Accord V6 has failed. Well, at 110,000 miles it's about the first thing that ever broke so no big deal.
However, he says it's 7 hours of labor because he has to remove the gas tank and a lot of other huge and ugly stuff.
I read on one site that this can be accessed through the trunk - the guy said he actually cut a hole in the bottom of the trunk and got it done a it faster and with less disruption. BTW - he did it with metal shears so he didn't make sparks that would have blown him, and his Honda, up into the sky.
Does anyone have any insight? I'd sure like to save a bunch of money on labor.
I'm not implying that you do this (really; random things wear out and go bad when cars age - I have a '96 so I understand ), but for those that top off their gas tank, trying to get every last drop in there, remember how expensive this can be. When the pump clicks off, be done pumping; repairing the Vapor Recovery System is apparently not cheap!

At the beginning of Nov. the check engine light came on but I didn't think much of it but on Thanksgiving Day, I started the car and the instrument panel lights didn't come on and haven't yet.
I took it to the garage, thinking it was a fuse or something simple.
It isn't the fuse and they can't find
the problem or seem to fix it.
Anybody had this problem

Above is a Honda dealer website where you can buy the bulbs. It takes a while to navigate through some screens to find the items you need. They are good at answering your questions if you don't know where the look for certain items.
Review the photos and find out how many bulbs are affected by Odometer and all IP back lighting. Don't just replace one bulb, replace them all so you don't have to revisit this issue a few months down the road.
The website is good for buying OEM floormats, cabin fiter, Honda OEM wheelcovers, air filter, and any inexpensive worn looking items.

Any ideas?
The car no longer stalls out, and the engine seems to have about 15 percent more power to it. The mechanic didn't change out the spark plug wires or distributor cap. Is this okay?
I would say that the spark plugs really don't last 100,000 miles and it is better to change them at around 75,000 or more miles. What are other people's experience with this?
The fingers are easy. They just slide up. The bottom holes and screws are the problem.
Can anyone tell me how to secure this panel properly?
Thanks and Happy New Year.
Are the holes in the seat frame stripped?, if so, you will need to replace the existing screws with a slightly larger diameter screw.

Any ideas or suggestions
The white plastic push pins in back cover off front seats are the type that slide in/out in the back seat cover frame. You need to buy two new plastic push pins at about $1.50 each from a Honda dealer. Once these pins are used, they deform and will not hold shape or tension.
Take both old push pins out and replace with the new ones. Slide in the two large plastic tabs in top of the back seat cover in place. Using a flashlight, lay down on rear floor mat and VISUALLY align and place the new push pins in holes in back seat frame. Once each push pin is aligned, firmly tap on seat back where the push pins are. The pins will press in and lock in holes.

The seat belts are covered under a lifetime warranty, so the SRS light could be covered.
Also, from what I've read, seems the seatbelt recall only applies to the 2001-2002 models?
Please advise.
Thanks!
It is not a recall Item but a failed safety item. :lemon: Check with NTSB if any problems.

you will locate repair info or replace the bord if you dont want to do the work
Search for "2001 Honda accord trans circuit bord" and you should locate information required to repair or replace that bord.

Any ideas as to whether I am looking at a big repair bill? The car has 189,000 miles and I have not had problems before this leak. thanks.
I am having problem with the temp control knob that it kinds of stuck in only blowing warm/hot air at times, and at other times only cold air.
Right now it's only blowing hot air irrespective of moving the knob towards hot, the mecahnic suggested replacing 'Blend Door Actuator' also known as
006 79160-S84-A01 MOTOR ASSY., AIR MIX
under heator control parts.
Wanted to check if anyone has seen similar issue, and had been suggested the same, in case, did you change it yourself and how easy is it ?
Is it located under the dash ?
Any help locating this would be much appreciated.
I read about the same problem in many earlier posts but no solutions. i have a 2000 honda accord ex and had "D" light flashing at 107k miles. Went to the dealer in 2008 and he quoted $3.xk to replace the tranny. I showed him the class action law suit about Honda extending their warranty on trans with 110K on their 2000+ models. I got my transmission replaced for free.
Now i am at 160k and my transmission has a problem only for the first 5 minutes during cold start. if i keep my car ON for 5 mins or if i drive my car with shifting and jerking problem for 5 minutes, everything is alright after that.
I explained all these and left the car at the dealer again to check. The dealer asked me to replace transmission *again*. But honda does not make this transmission anymore so he should order it from a private company in California for $2600 with parts and labour $3800 overall..
i really do not know which direction to go, it is a fine car unless it is warmed up for 5 minutes. i really don't think it is a transmission problem, if not, experts out there.. please give your suggestions.
thanks

I bought a 2001 honda accord, so far its great, no issues at all. LOL i can't find the damn ashtray and cigarette lighter in the car. I has the 12volt outlet. Was the ashtray and cigarette lighter an option ? LOLOLO I know its a really stupid question
Silvio
Mine has 208k miles... :shades:
Does yours also have a cassette player if so it may have been removed or if you got the ex (?) lowere version it just may not have had an ashtray!
