Re: 98 Accord VTec Timing Belt Replaced and change in 'attitude'

@Ghost - No, they did NOT adjust the valves. Also, I was surprised to notice they did NOT unhook the battery [my radio was fine and they don't have the code]. I think you are right about the VTEC -...

Re: 98 Accord VTec Timing Belt Replaced and change in 'attitude'

Re: how many miles does your accord have on it?

98 Accord - 220,000 - no major work. Runs excellent. 4cyl VTec still fast.

Re: 1996 Honda Odyssey - low idle and dying

@trahmah - Unfortunately, I've missed the opportunity to snap a good photo and the weather has finally gone kaput. Quite frankly, I'm sure you are correct about the connection, because I have only...

Re: 1996 Honda Odyssey - low idle and dying

@trahmah - Thanks for the post. Interesting. Now my IAC seems clean, moving freely, and very simplistic in design. Still, I'm not getting any ideas anywhere else.

Maybe when Spring rolls around...

Re: 1996 Honda Odyssey - low idle and dying

@Ross - Thanks for the reply. I actually was surfing You Tube just now trying to find a video showing EGR and IAC location/cleaning on a 2.2 NON-VTec engine like the one in my 1996 Ody. Since the...

Re: 1996 Honda Accord transmission slipping when cold and setting CEL

Old thread, but just an update. Took your advice Mustang, and stuck a fork in it. Sold the car and came out a few dollars ahead. Found a dealer who already had a donor car and he scooped it up. :)
