Thegraduate .. will remember that tip I cut the AC on so the fans would work and that didn’t seem to help .. will try the heat next time (although I am afraid to get too fat from home with it now).
Chucko3 DO’t think it is the Rad Cap since I can feel pressure on the rad hose (a trick I learned years ago to keep from getting scalded by opening a Rad that was hot and had pressure on it.
Kiawah .. I can’t tell you how much I hope you’ve right (i.e no money to speak of ). Will have to see.
I suspect the fans don’t come on because it is not really as hot as the gauge states ..
On another thread someone mentioned headlights they had one where the gauge did that when the headlights were on (wiring harness?) Since I use them during the day (I like people to see me) this is a slim remote .. possibility.
Haven’t driven the car since I entered my plea for help. Will have to try tomorrow.
Again thanks for all your suggestions.

I have a 1988 honda accord lxi, 2.0 litter, 5 manual speed. One day my after driving it to the store and back I realized that my rpm was staying at around 2 even when I was stopping and not pressing on the gas (but the engine sounded like I'm stepping on the gas). After a couple of days of driving white smoke started to come out of the exhaust. The smoke is coming after I start driving for a while, not when I start the car, especially on third gear. It happens often when I'm stuck in traffic and the car is hot. It lasts for a while but after driving it at a higher speed it goes away. The smoke smells pretty bad and it's very choky. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem? And how much it would cost to fix? Thank you very much.

Recently while driving my car gave in and died. After a stressful week and a few at home mechanics we finally pinpointed the problem to be that my timing belt snapped. This would not be to much of a problem but we were informed that the 89 accord lxi contains an interfering motor. kindly letting us know that the pistons may be knocked around and that it appeared they were.
I do not know where to go with this vehicle now, I bought it for 1.2 k and i was wondering what repairs would be or if i should just scrap it at a salvage yard for some cash back. Your reply would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
Does anyone know about servicing the vacumn control box? Are there serviceable parts inside? I have a haynes manual and it does not have zip about this. Any other suggestions? I don't mind replacing parts that need to be replaced but I sure hate to dump money on parts that don't need replacing.
Thanks

My first time on your site. I have a 1989 Honda Accord LXI, and I'll never part with it.
It has 240k+ miles on it. Its never been to a repair shop, not since I've owned it in the 10+years. When I start the car the tac bounces around 2-3 -4 k,while idling to warm it up. Even on the highway at 65mph I look and see the tac bouncing all over the place. At this time 3,4,5 k. Anyone have any Ideal what that's about? Car runs fine, smooth and steady, not missing, no loss of power. Thank you for your time in this matter. Seattle B
Btw I had the same problem took me 2 months to figure it out
if that doesnt work i cant help you but good luck.
I have a 1988 horda accord Lxi 5 speed. It starts up and runs, however when i disconnect power from the battery it dies instantly, it seems like the alternator isnt taking a charge, and i have recently replaced it with a brand new one. Maybe a bad connection somewhere?? Please help!!!
But presuming you haven't damaged the new one, what you need to do is get a voltmeter on the battery and rev the engine and see if you're even charging at all.
If not, then take the alternator off and have it bench tested and/or exhanged under warranty.
So I have recently inherited (from a friend of a friend not a dead family member) a 1987 Accord S (hatchback) that has sat for roughly 2 years. I've done an oil change, air filter, checked the rad fluids, new battery, etc. and everything looks to be in working order.
However, when I attempted to drive it home tonight after putting all the work in at my place of employment the car began to sputter, and then subsequently die. At first I thought scuzzy gas but now that the car has virtually no battery power left I'm wondering - does it need a new alternator? it sounds like it wants to turn over, and with a jump you can get it going but it dies the moment you attempt to step on the gas.
Thoughts? Oh and it has roughly 170,000kms (about 105,000 miles) the car had been running fine a week before, but I'd only had it running for about 30 mins or so.
Thanks
Any help?? I really need it.
Thanks
Thank You, Longoria
I've got a 1987 Accord S (hatchback) that some lowlife smashed out the driver's side window. I understand there are two different sizes of glass for this car - so how do I know which one it is?
Secondly, anybody got a spare they want to part with in Vancouver, BC? lol
Thanks,

this is a free site and u can print out manuals as well they are the factory manuals for them, they go into full detail about everything...check it out....found this and my husband loves it and praises it This is the type of manual that only Honda dealers would have...
Can someone help me!
Look around the engine to see if any critters did any damage. I've seen mice chew thru just about anything. They may have created a hole in a vacuum line.

alos in the process trying to find the relay i was jumping the wrong relay and shorted it what ever that relay ran it was blue and the only relay you can see without removing the fuse box anyone know what that is for.
My car had a similar problem and it took me more than one year to determine the cause.
In this forum, go to message #167 for a description of my problem and go to message #222 for my resolution.
The blue relay could be wipers, headlight motors or rear defroster. See if they work.
Certainly it's not the ignition coil.
and it was the ignition coil i replaced it this weekend and it runs like a champ
The ignition and fuel pump circuits are quite different between the two.
I had a bad thermostat, with lead to run with no water, broke the radiator so I over heated the engine.... Now the engine as a big loss of power but I don't see any sign of blown head gasket. The car does not smoke white, no unsual color on the spark plugs or sign of water in the engine. I cannot find out what is wrong. Anyone had a suggestion?
thx a lot
