Re: How many miles do you get per gallon?

After a fresh tune-up I got 38mpg with my 2000 civic EX.
With my 97 Accord V6 it was a very consistent 25mpg.
Both with mixed driving but mostly highway.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm doing the timing belt, tensioner and water pump this weekend. It looks like an easier job than on my C27 V6.

Re: 97 Accord V6 EGR

Re: Just found this site.... Looking to buy a Honda (Rick1t)

Be sure to ask if the Timing belt has been changed. All Honda engines are interference engines, meaning that the valves and the pistons cross the same plane when operating.
So if the T-belt breaks...

Re: 97 Acord convertor locks and unlocks at highway speed (linetrash75)

Check your coolant and thermostat. If your engine doesn't get up to temperature the TC won't lock. This happened to me last winter. You could be on the boarder line between warm up mode and normal...

Re: Accord V6 Reliability (sixwhip14)

I changed mine when I bought the car (@ 149K). There was a question whether it had been done or not, so I changed it. You should replace the water pump at the same time.

Re: First time Accord buyer....would appreciate input on 96 & 97 models (kamaboko)

Re: need some help from the accord guys (chadmasterc)

Ya timing belt is a piece of cake. I would make sure the front rotors aren't warped.
Rotors are a MAJOR PAIN compared to the timing belt.
