I have a 97 LX with 151k miles and I dont believe the fluid has been replaced.
thanks.
You may NOT want to use it on your WINDSHIELD, though, 'cause it may have some visibilty issues when driving at night.
So once again thank you two for the help.
Glad we could help!
Confused. Thank you anyway for the tip. If you could clarify that a little more it would be great. You seem to know a lot about cars. I have come to visit this site fairly often when it comes to small issues going with my car. Once again thanks for all the help.
send heated air to the windshield and the side windows
turn on the AC
set the system to recirculate off

Not true on the 1994-1997 models. This feature debuted in 1998. In the pre-1998 models, you must manually select fresh air and manually activate the A/C.
i thought my '94 did the same. my mistake. anyway, i thought that was the optimal setup to clear the front windshield so i thought i'd enumerate them.
it seems counter-intuitive to run the AC but it works.
also i find situations in freakish downpours also benefit from the AC remaining on to keep the front glass clear.
yes, the air conditioner dehumidifies the air, keeping moisture off the windows!
I don't know if anybody else has this problem periodically or if I shouldn't worry about it. If anybody doesn't know I have a 95 EX.
Thank you for any reply.

if people drive through mud, same issue.
some sticks: significant enough amount to throw wheel balancing off and car shakes at certain speed range.
hopefully, that is your problem.
Recently after driving a long distance I started experiencing problem like the engine is not stable.AS per the advise of the mechanic changed sparc plugs,sparc plugs cables and even the petrol filter, still there is no change.Iam getting sound like an aeroplane from engine. Not getting even MIL indication.
The car is Honda accord of 96 make.
Iam planning to take it Honda show room for Engine tuning before that I want any good sujjestions and tips from any u.
Thanks and regards :confuse:
I drive a 1996 Honda Accord EX V6
When I drive for about thirty minutes, going the same speed, my RPM meter starts going up and down. It's orginally at 2 and then it shoots down to 1 and then finally, when it reaches 0 it jerks kinda bad. It freaks me out a little. I've asked soooo many people about this and they have given me a few answers. They think it's my ignition coil. But it don't think so. I need help! I have no knowledge about cars WHATSOEVER!! Please help.
Thank you! :sick:

Two questions, does the cruise control work? and is the Check Engine Light on?
If you have less than 150,000 miles on the odometer, you're probably eligible for the famous Accord SPECIAL RECALL... Do a search here about service bulletin 98-081. Your car is probably covered by this special recall. Your problem is probably the Speed Sensor and your Distributor Cap. And you should get it fixed FOR FREE!...
Take your car to the nearest Honda dealership and tell them to check about this special service bulletin 98-081... You may be able to get a PDF copy of this bulletin by doing some Google search.
Not only this, you're also elligible for a FREE tune up at 75,000 and 150,000 miles.
Another thing you may want to check is, if your car was included in the ignition switch recall. When the ignition switch is bad, the engine will seemingly start, then die as soon as you release the key.
Just a thought, since you are so close to being covered in the warranty, they may help you out too if that turns out to be part of the problem.
I am fighting the good fight: keeping my 96 lx running (now 159k).
Recently however I've noticed my rpm at a stoplight vary. Sometimes good around 700 rpms, other times it'll be at 4-500 rpm.
I was ok with that,but more recently right after I start my car and shift into gear (R or D) the revs sometimes drops significantly, one time to 200 rpm and one time the engine shut off.
Also not sure if it related, but when I accelrate and release the pedal, the rpms drop normally and othertimes they drop from 2800 to 1500 , shift gears , and then they're back up to normal rpm range.
Oh I have an automatic.
Please help I tried pcv valve, air intake, I used a cleaning spray for the throttle body. :confuse:

I was with him when he replaced my distributor and spark plug wires...not sure if he did the VSS.
What do I do now?
Now I remember how they were trying to get me to pay for the parts they were installing as part of the service bulletin
I had issue with it and I guess they got around it by not replacing the part.
So do you think I can take it to another dealership to get the VSS replaced? If not how hard is it to replace. I hear it is located beneath the thermostat housing.
Since your dealer has been trying to play funny games, before going back to him, or any other dealership, I would call Honda first, discuss it with them, let them call the dealership and give them instructions.
The Speed Sensor, btw, is right next to (or even attached to) the Distributor Cap, at least it was on my '95 Accord V6.
Have you had any reply's to your problem? I have a similar problem if not the same. My Honda accord 94 manual has been parked up for some time and the battery was dead. tried to swap the battery but as soon as i connect it the standard honda alarm keeps going off. I aslo have an aftermarket alarm fitted but have disarmed that. Someone told me to reset the fuse for the standard alarm, i found that but it hasn't reset. No matter what i do i can't start it with the alarm going off. If you have found a solution then i would appreciate any advice.
anyway, perhaps this has the info you seek.

Based on what I've read in forums it could be Spark plugs , wires, O2 Sensor or fuel injector parts.
I've also tried premium gas to see if it helps, I'll post the result when I fill up the gas next time.
Please post if you get any update as well.
next upon next empty tank, have with you 1 bottle of injector cleaner. pour that in, then fill the tank.
how many miles on the car? 80K or more? i'd have new honda recommended plugs put in - they affect mileage.
now mamamia2 is correct...everyone get's lower mileage in the winter, and the winter formulation of fuel i think is part of the reason.
finally, do not judge the fuel efficiency of the vehicle based on city tripping. too many variables including driving style impact what you get vs. someone else. for example, the same car in downtown New York City isn't going to get the same city mileage as in releigh / durham NC.
fill the tank, reset the odometer, go for a 300mi or so drive on the highway at about 60-65, stop and re-fill and divide miles on the trip OD by gallons pumped for a HWY estimate.
On another forum (a Sonata forum) an Indiana owner of a V6 Sonata with the 3.3L engine was commuting to work every day, driving about 250 miles. He decided to challenge us all with his gas mileage... For a month he kept driving at 55mph, no A/C in mid summer(...) and got 35-36.5 mpg...
Nice, ha?
