I think you should also post this in our Cooling Systems: Problems & Solutions (Radiator, Fan, etc) while you are waiting for some input here.
Good luck - I hope we can help.
Dear Heavens! $1K? Anybody know of any options?
Thanks.

I have a 87 Legend, after changed the battery, the engine idle runs unstable, from 1000rpm to 1800rpm, about 10 min, the red light in the panel goes on, I checked all the vacuum lines as well as the electricity connectors and couldn't find any problem, I thought it may be some sensor problem.
Also I dont have a manual for the radio and I am trying to learn as much about the operation of it to get the most use out of the radio. Anyone know where I can get a copy of a manual online?

If anyone has any ideas please help me I'm confident I can fix any problem myself but first I need to diagnos the problem before I can fix it.
Thanks
I have a 1988 Acura Legend 2 DR coupe. The switch assembly(?) on the driver's side door broke (little black piece mounted on the back of the body where the door connects upon closure). Apparently this switch has something to do with the security system as my car no longer starts unless jumped and the alarm goes off constantly unless I remove the fuse. Does anyone know anything about this and how to bypass/fix? Thanks.
I have a 94 LS coupe and get check engine sometimes, speedometer does not work 95% of time, same with odometer, abs/TCS lights flash on etc sometimes. Sometimes TCS and ABS on together and i loose power. Stopping, turning off ignition, restarting resolves this until could be as little as 10 miles later if on a long journey.... wondering where to start.

You might want to also post in our Electronic Gremlins: Electrical Problems That Are Driving You Crazy discussion. It's over on the Maintenance & Repair board - there are a lot of knowledgeable folks hanging out over there.
Good luck.
Are all these items related by any chance?
I have not owned this long and have not yet even found a mechanic. Any help appreciated.
I am sure I have a larger electrical problem.
Whast would you say is the best way to go about diagnosing it?
If all that stuff went bad at once though, its safe to say something major is at fault and that should make it easier to pinpoint.
The difference, however, is a substantial drop in performance , since one of the things that is different with regular is if the timing is as advanced as much as with premium, you will get preignition or detonation, which is worse. And the '92 has a clever enough computer to prevent those conditions.
So. The bottom line for me is this: premium gas is about 6% more expensive 'round Southern California than is regular. But I seem to get about 8% better gas mileage with premium than I do with regular. This negates any seeming economy, so why would I use regular? I no longer do. Looking at the hard dollars, the premium gas is more economical, even though by a slight margin. At the same time, the car is more fun to drive, and it doesn't cost me a dime .
Hope this helps.

I did take it in last week and the code said left wheel speed sensor and they said it was covered in oil due to cv boot blowing. They said my radio problem was separate internal radio problem. So, I replaced the boot. After two days of fine driving (not alot but some driving with no problems) the vss problems have now resurfaced - whacky speedometer, d4 light blinking, funny shifting. I took it back in next day (all was working fine on drive in) and no codes could be read. They said they could do no more - go to dealer. What do you think - especially about randomness of trouble? Do the problems have to happening for a code to be read? Thanks.
Thanks
