Re: 1991 Honda Accord LX suspension question (smike207)

Try squirting a little oil on each suspect spot one at a time.
You can get oil into the ball joint boots with a syringe.

I assume the noise is related to engine RPM, not vehicle speed?
Get under the hood and increase engine speed using the throttle linkage and listen to where the noise comes from.

Re: headlight issue (Krazzeminn)

Sounds like a circuit to circuit short that bypassed the fuses. You need a schematic and start tracing wires looking for burns.

Re: no start, no spark (twotonecivic)

Sounds like you checked everything related to the ignition (spark) and it's all good.
Did you check for proper fuel delivery?

Re: Not your average 'Car Won't Start' Thread (pwrofdrm)

Re: 1993 Accord EX Died while Driving. Cranks but doesn't start (loonysalmon)

Sounds like something responding to your car's temperature.
You need to check for spark WHILE your car is in its freshly dead state.

Re: Higher idle with headlights on (tpot90)

your charging system is failing under the load of your headlights, so the pcm tells the rpms to ramp up so the alternator will run faster.

check your battery and alternator for proper function.

Reason you can get pressure with a quick pedal application is because the worn seal inside the master cyl. doesn't have time to let fluid seep past it. But, it will still leak as you hold the brake...

Re: 90 Accord Clutch Help (three11jeff)

Sounds impossible.
Trace the whole system again. If you're losing that much fluid, it must be leaking out of somewhere.
