Hi,

MM says that I am due for changing out the 'Air Cleaner Element'.

Re: Oil light on during idle after warmup

Well, put a new oil sending unit in and switched to 10w40.

I couldn't replicate the oil light coming on even after turning the idle back down.

Oil light on during idle after warmup

Hi,

92 Accord, 323k miles. Oil light comes on after the engine is warmed up, but only at idle.
It usually only comes on after being on the highway for awhile and then coming to a stoplight.

92 Accord Front Bushings

Hi,

All the front bushings (at least all the ones that are immediately visible when you take the front wheel off) are cracked.

What is the urgency of replacing these?

Re: 92 Accord: Oil in spark plugs (fleetw00d)

Its oil where the plug wires attach.

A valve cover gasket kit was installed 4000 miles ago. Not sure if the o-rings were replaced, I believe they were.

92 Accord distributor dust cover

Hi,

I changed the cap and rotor today.
Under the cap and rotor is a what I would call a dust cover. It crumbled to pieces as I was trying to get the rotor off.

Is this piece necessary?...
