Re: accord running rough, CEL blinking

okay, swapped out the plug wires finally and still the same thing. Yes the car runs rough, like its going to die for about 30-60 seconds once it is started....then it smooths out and runs fine.

Re: 1999 accord lx

If you get down and look under the car from the pass side. Directly in front of the front tire inside the frame, you will see a bolt that a 3/8" ratchet fits into. That is the drain plug.

Re: Cleaning IACV, FITV and TB

Thanks for the reply. So the rotary air control solenoid can be cleaned also? Do you know if there is a write up to do it?

My 89 is fuel injected so would it be the same as the 1990 (write up)?
