I agree with the above, it sounds like your piston rings are fried.

You could use that "crap in a bottle" that helps restore compression but honestly you are only covering up the problem, ever...

Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine, that's the way my Dad says it so I adopted it without noticing that I was doing so.

Re: (rlim)

It's actually the other way around, diesel will actually clean a gasoline engine where gasoline will make a diesel engine come from together.

No, diesel will NOT harm a gasoline engine, a gasoline engine with diesel in it will run like shit but it won't be harmed.

Re: (95-Accord-EX)

It would take a set of cams and a hell of a head to pull that off. Maybe even bore and stroke.

I'd have to go with Turbo on this one. It would be the easiest install in my opinion and it has...

Why???

Just buy a 240 if you want RWD, if you want power too, buy just about any old Chevy.

Re: (KILLAB17VTEC)

It's either a loose valve or piston slap.

Then again, it could be worn out bearings in an accessory drive.

Loose valve can be easily remedied, piston slap is going to mean rebuild.

Re: Driver door cannot open. (BBallz24)

It won't open by using either handle?

If so then it's the latch itself. That will be fun to replace, it will be even funner getting the door to open so you can replace said latch.

Good luck!...

Re: Q: Are the OEM metal radiators even still available from Honda ? ... (diyer)

No, if the aluminum radiator is grounded to the frame, is equipped with the sacrificial anode, and filled with the proper mix of water/coolant, you will NEVER have a problem with it.

My '91 Accord had plastic tanks on it's ORIGINAL radiator.

Same with the '92, original radiator in it as well.

Re: 93 accord - Engine stalls at stop with 1/4 or less gas in tank (jason_home)

Re: 93 accord - Engine stalls at stop with 1/4 or less gas in tank (jason_home)

On fuel injected cars the fuel system MUST reach the appropriate pressure, thus the reason why when you get to the gas station and you loosen the filler cap you hear that hissing. You don't hear...

I'd have to guess water pump, it's the only thing that would be RPM dependent, and also the only thing you haven't replaced.

Re: 93 honda accord idles to low (1990AccordBoy)

old engine mounts will not change how your engine idles.

What trim package is this car, DX, LX, or EX?

It sounds like a vacuum leak or an out-of-adjustment throttle body.
