I am new to this forum and I have searched for this particular question also.
I have Honda Accord '93 10th anniversary special and it is time to replace the muffler. I took it to the mechanic and he said I need to change the muffler and pipe and gave me a quote. I am trying to buy it online to save some money but I do not know what kind of muffler and pipe to search for. I googled it and it gave me 3 different options and I am not sure what kind to order. I mean I dont know the part name or the number or something of that sort. I dont know anything about cars so pardon me. Can someone please tell me what kind of part should I search so that it will fit my car. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me 'cause maybe I might have not given out full information.
Thank you guys in advance.
If I buy the honda muffler, what should I put as the search words, i mean if I put it as "honda muffler 10th anniversary edition 1993", it gives me different options i.e. the pictures that the websites show are different so how do I know if it is the right one. Is there a special name for it. I have chiltons book but it doesn't say what kind i need it.
Thanks again.
I've been getting the Code 43 light issue for a while now. I want to have the fuel system checked out. Does those fuel injector cleaning agents sold at auto part stores really work or is it all hype? What should I ask for when getting the fuel system checked or cleaned out? Also I smell gas when starting up in the mornings. Does this mean gas leakage?
Thanks,

Both will have online catalogs showing the parts you need. Factory type welded exhaust systems are common, you should find them on their web sites. Look for their online catalogs or e-catalogs (whatever they call it) look under Honda, Accord, 1993. Only thing after that is the listings may ask things like Japan/USA/Canada, sedan/station wagon, and if your current muffler has 2 pipes coming out the back or 1. The sticker in the drivers door jam will tell you where the car was made.
Assuming your car came with a 2.2L 4 cyl engine, I don't think that 10th anniversary edition will make any difference when ordering replacement parts. Once you find the page with the diagram, print it out and bring it to your local parts store, or order them online. Don't forget to order any gaskets shown.
Below is the car options I copied from Maremont, I would assume the 3rd listing down is what you may have, 1993, passenger car, USA, Dual outlet pipes.
1990-1993 836 1 Exhaust System 1990-1993 DX & LX Passenger Car All 4 Cyl. (2.2 L) Eng. 1990-1993 EX Passenger Car All 4 Cyl. (2.2 L) Eng. (Canada Only)

1992-1993 832 1 Exhaust System 1992-1993 EX & SE Passenger Car All 4 Cyl. (2.2 L) Eng. USA Production Code 1 Dual Outlet (US Only

PS: If you print out the item price sheet, your local dealer might match the Majestic price. That way you don't pay for shipping. Good luck
Is the TCM and ECM in the same place? Are they the same unit?

I'm a newbee... just acquired a 90 accord LX from a relative. They replaced the timing belt, Master Cylinder, hoses and fuel pump recently. It has 79,000 miles, (but probably more like 150,000 because the speedometer & odometer do not work). The engine light is on and the "S" light blinks continuously. It has mainly been sitting idle for the last 2 years in hot weather; prior to that it was a tow-car (in tow behind a motorhome). I just drove about 500 miles on a trip to test it out, and it runs pretty good although the steering wheel starts vibrating at about 60 mph.
Does anyone have advice about where I should start with trying to fix the speedometer, odometer, engine light & "S" light? Perhaps a front end alignment would smooth out the shimmering at 60? any ideas? (don't have a lot of money)
Love to hear from anyone! Thanks. Karen

Sorry if this repeated question. My Honda 93 Accord EX seems to have the code 43 (engine light) which points to the ECU or fuel supply system. My car has a rough ride and jerks with D4 light blinking. This link http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html is helpful but what else can I do to have a smooth ride again? Full Tune up? What does a fuel supply system fix entail? Thanks

the service station has had it for three weeks and can't figure it out. the mechanic drove it for 300 miles with no problems for him. Please help
Do you think it's normal for the accord to continue to sound like it's running after it's been turned off? It sounds like a fan or something keeps running for 3-4 minutes. I'm really hoping this is a normal phenomenon. Do you know?
I know elroy told ya, but since you're relatively new here I thought a second opinion might make you feel a little bit better.
Best regards,

P.S. - Elroy is really knowledgable, and won't ever lead you wrong knowingly!

You can sometimes tease a bolt loose by first TIGHTENING it just a little...a very little...then loosening it (presuming you have the PB Blaster on hand to keep lubricating it).
Some people suggest a BREAKER BAR but you know what? That's risky...once you hear the sickening SNAP! your day is ruined...maybe a few days....
Another technique is to apply heat to the adjuster but a cold spray (like the 'electrical freeze' they sell at Radio Shack) to the bolt itself. This way you get an expansion on the adjuster side and a contraction on the bolt side.
The key here is PATIENCE...do not rush, get frustrated, etc. If you find yourself getting nervous or mad, STOP and take a break.
This morning I was driving my baby 1991 Accord DX Sedan and when I was opening my garage door, I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I looked at the temp gauge and it was pointing H (hot). So I move the car for about 25 feet to park the car out of the traffic way. Within minutes, I see liquid coming out from the car at the bottom. What could cause the car to overheat?
Do you think I ruined the engine for driving 25 feet to park the car? Think one of the hoses broke loose and coolant leaked out?
How much of a repaid do you think I am looking at?
All possible solutions are welcomed. This is my 1st car and it has been very loyal to me since I bought it in 1991. It has 209K miles and I was hoping to make to 300K.
Thanks! :confuse: :sick:
Best thing you can do is find the leak, fix that, and then drive the car to see what's what. If it overheats again, you should test for various problems, like bad head gasket, or hopefully stuck thermostat or non-functioning cooling fan.
If it was a bad head gasket, isn't that a big repair?
I'm hoping it was a hose that collapsed.
Trying to figure out what would be my limit? Repair it or not? Everything else in the car except radio works. I'm deaf so conked out radio makes no difference for me.
This car is my first car and I have sentimental value for this car.
Thanks! I will post back tomorrow.
You might have just busted a hose or something. No reason to be alarmed at this point.
My 93' Honda Accord EX is now shifting a lot when driving. It starts out smooth and then jerks a lot with the D4 light blinking like crazy. I took out the TCM and ECM boxes just to unplug and plug back to see and nothing. What can it be? I replaced the fuel pump a year ago. Can it go bad already?
please help

What you want to try is a graphite lock lubricant (any hardware store).
Careful it can be messy, so hold a paper towel around the tube when you squeeze it, and don't overdue it. And work the key back and forth, then clean the key off before putting it in your pocket or purse.
If that doesn't work, you'll need a new key and cylinder probably. Have a locksmith look it over.
Before I go purchase this part, I wanted your input on this first. Should I buy a ECM unit on Ebay for $35.00? I'm about 65% sure it's the ecm that's gone bad on my 93 accord. I get the blinky D4 light and my car is jerky when driving.
Please input on this
Thanks

You are right. The hoses needed to be replaced. Costed me $230 bucks just for the hoses (does the cost sound right to you?) and $300 for the labor.
The mechanic is recommending me to replace the belts as well. That would be more big bucks! How much do you think it would cost for the belt parts only?
Thanks
Geez 123 :confuse:
Well, I went and bought a TCM box from ebay for my 93 Accord. Wish me luck it'll work. The seller told me it's a working item and I'll just have to bite the bullet.

My brakes on my 93 Accord EX has a hard or spongy feeling and sound when braking. I had the rear brakes done and replaced. I'm thinking it's a master cylinder job? What type of brake job am I looking at here?
Thanks
Cybercool
Thanks, Jim
Congrats on solving the D4 problem. I've been fighting it for 9 months on my '93
