Timing belt replacement: $60-70 belt $400-600 labor.
The extra cost is probably extra little stuff that they'll do along the way when stuff is out of the engine bay.
You don't have to do it at the dealer, a lot of places will do it for cheaper its really an easy job on a honda/acura (relatively). I would shop around, just make sure they do the water pump when their down there.
Oh, so yes that is reasonable........ for the Stealership!
I would say most definately it sounds like anti-theft mechanisms
working improperly, prob. a result of that accident you
mentioned. I had a 94 American car that had a "state of the
art" security feature that made it so I couldn't start my own
car with MY electronic remote key several times!!?!?!?! the
behavior that you are describing (erratic & unpredictable) seems
similar to my situation. Since than I don't trust factory
anti-theft systems. I would see if you can get it removed and
replace it with a G5 clifford or just some cheap brand. the way
I see it with alarms:
Stock/factory: useless
Cheap alarms: stops 60-80% of theives
clifford/high end: stops 70-95% of theives
But if you just have an LS or other non-GSR I wouldn't even get
an alarm, just some wheel locks if you have the LS Mesh rims or
non-hubcaps. That's the cheapest way to do it... hope this helps
the dealer did say that the new key he made might have solved it...hopefully it works with the system better. i don't have an alarm or remote access...just the standard secuirty type features.
Well the Integra still is shifting slowly into 3rd when cold. It's now taking about 4 miles to start working properly. I found a note stating the modulator valve sticks on these cars. Took it all apart, the piston was a little sticky, cleaned everything out and got it working properly. Still did the same thing. Found some tranny lub/fixer at a Napa store which supposedly works wonders on all AT trannys, no change. I drove the car to Pittsburg and back last Saturday, 600+ miles. It ran great once it shifted the first time. Bought another vehicle on eBay to replace this vehicle. Anyone want a cheap 90 Integra? 105k miles...... I'm through screwing around with it. Problem must be inside the case. Good luck
I've come to the same conclusion after reviewing the "transmission traumas" forum on this site, although I'm very curious to know what the tranny problem is given that the problem with both our cars sounds exactly the same. I thought I might call Acura Headquarters myself, even though my dealer claims to have spoken with them the last time they attempted to fix the car.
My dealer estimated my car's worth (1990, 119K) at around $675 in the upper midwest given its transmission problem. But, I'm not sure who would buy it.

Oh, and BTW you could get at least 2grand for your car with the mentioned prob. over here in the Bay Area so it might make sense for you to post ads for it in the bay area and than use the extra $1400 to catch a plane back to your hometown (if you like going on road trips that is!). :P
I have a 96 GSR Sedan and the cruise control stopped working yesterday. The button still lights up when pressed, but the controls on the steering wheel aren't working. I was looking for a fuse, but ruled that out since the button was lighting up when pressed. Question? Is the cruise control operated by a vacuum line or is there a plug underneath the car that may have come loose? Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks

Maybe helpful, mebbe not...
:P
Might try checking a few dealers if it's convenient, sometimes the prices are different?!

I believe your best bet is replaceeverythinmg and anything that got possibly hit in the accident.
Now, the radio may be a separate issue - the stock stereo has a separate fuse inside its housing that might blow if it is not properly grounded, and then of course there are the security codes. If it is the stock stereo I would take it to the dealer, but deal with the larger grounding issue first.

It will do it more in higher gears, especially at low revs when you hit the gas.

frank: whoa! Yeah, you maybe could, but it requires some equipment. You have to drop the transmission. You have to know how to bleed a clutch. You have to have a photographic memory (or a Polaroid with flash) to put everything back where you found it. Beyond that, it is basically a plug-n-play job. But there is a reason that shops want $100s and $100s for this job - it is a lot of work. You will need to borrow a repair bay with a floor lift.

Has anyone seen this problem ? Any suggestion on what this might be ?
wille: sounds like you have an exhaust leak, maybe? Perhaps a little rust has taken its toll down there? If that is what it is, you can drive it to the shop. Midas will find you something for cheap to bolt on there and solve the problem, or you could get OEM from the dealer and pay twice the price for something designed to fit and provide the proper amount of back pressure.

Here's the deal. I recently stipped the trunk of my 2Dr 1990 Hatch (not plastic anything, no spare, just the carpet). I went to a car wash and I noticed a little bit of water coming in the cargo trunk area, presumably near/inbetween the taillights.
It should be noted that I also have moisture in my taillights because I havent gotten around to replacing the foam gasket (common prob. w/my car).
Has anyone had a similar leaking experience?!?! I'm not sure if stripping the trunk is what did it or if I just didn't notice until I stipped it.
My 96 LS steering wheel shimmy's when I use the brakes at higher speeds. Doesn't happen at lower speeds, < 40 mph or so. The wheels are in balance, so I'm not sure if it's rotors or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) My fuel door release latch has lost some tension. The door still opens when I use the lever, but I had to adjust the metal catch on the inside of the door. Has anyone had to replace this assembly?
2) Randomly, my car has difficulty starting. When I turn the key, it will click, then start, or won't start. No cranking, and no gasping, just a click and nothing. When I try starting it again, it starts up.
Other than that, and the oil leaks, its a great car that I would like to keep for as long as I can.
Thanks for any help!

Traded in to get wife a new wheel. I'm driving her old car 2002 Maxima.
Maxima is much more comfortable and plenty of power. But I miss the Integra especially in handling. Looking back, it was perfect balance not too tight (like the Audi A4 or BMW 325) just right.
Plus I like the feel of the control of the heat and air conditioning based on what I feel versus the digital temperature read out.
So for those who are thinking about trading it in, if you have a good personal mechanic in your back pocket, keep the car. It's really a fun car.
im having a problem with my acura integra, when park the car and put it into park , the P light wont light up on the dash board saying that it is in park, so because of that i cant take out the key from the ignition!!!??? so weird. so i have to wait about 1 minute after i put it in park , then the P light goes on and i could take out the key. i brought it to 3 mechanics and no one has figured out the problem . my integra is a 1993 hatchback 2 door.
i hope someone here can help me out :0
