Re: Need Help with PO420 Code

P0420 is not a catalyst failure code.
It is a 'below threshold efficiency' code. 'Your engine is out of tune.'
If the engine has not had tuneup in a while, valves not adjusted, MAF(if applicable)...

Re: F22 / F23 Differences

Check out the FAQ at the top of the page, there were a couple of threads on Turbo F22s.

Re: Seeking Advice: Catalytic Converter Replacement for Honda Accord 2017 Sport Speci

You need to find out what the actual code is, not whatever the Autozone counter monkey description is.

Re: Lowing 1990 Honda Accord

Lowering is easy on these cars, but you will need to get a shim kit with longer bolts for the rear upper control arm, and for the front adjustable upper control arms to bring camber back.

That is part of your rear knuckle. If when lowering the car the tire comes in contact with that, you have major issues.

Re: 96 Honda accord won't upshift

Transmission functionality is greatly affected by engine tune.
Back probe TPS and look for smooth voltage change when opening throttle to WOT.
Faulty TPS will also cause CC non function.

Re: 2000 honda accord f23a4 ulev running issues

When was the last time the valves adjustment was checked or done? They should be checked every 30Kmiles.
Exhaust side is usually tight, this will cause a lean misfire from the valves hanging open.

Re: 91 honda accord tcu code 7

I'm assuming you retrieved a code 7.
Before looking for a solenoid that costs more than the transmission, where did you get the code from?

CEL is for TPS, which is more...

Re: no brakes!

If the MC was old/original and you floored the pedal to bleed the brakes, you most likely damaged the seals inside the MC and it will need to be rebuild or replaced.
