Re: 1992 Accord flunks CA smog. Inspection report included.

I forgot to add that the iacv had a ton of crap clogging up the screen side. It looks like air filter paper and maybe mouse fur. I'll post a pic when I can. Pretty amazing. This car always had the...

Re: 1992 Accord flunks CA smog. Inspection report included.

Try not to trash the thread with chatter gents.

I talked to 2 pro's and they both said egr as stated here.

I did start working on the egr system. I went all of the way into the egr solenoid....

1992 Accord flunks CA smog. Inspection report included.

I have never had a vehicle flunk smog before. So I'm all over this! I could use help on interpreting the results. NOx is sky high! The other readings were great!!

The car is bone stock. I'm not...

Re: Radiators : Aluminum vs Brass ??

As of this weekend the tig welded aluminum radiator went into the wagon. We drove it 400 miles over the weekend without a leak. It doesn't fit perfectly. I had to tweak some of the surrounding sheet...

Re: EGR port cleaning without using carb cleaner

I like the idea of threaded holes too. But they can get clogged and maybe even seize up due to the carbon deposits that will accumulate with time.

The steel Honda replacement plugs are easy to...

Re: Radiators : Aluminum vs Brass ??

Actually it says 1.1 on the cap not 11. That's 1.1 Bar which is equal to 16psi. My bad.

The other thing I noticed was that the radiator has a warp to it. It's bowed toward the front of the car...

Clutch master cylinder adjustment and bleeding

My first post was about bleeding my 91 Accord. Now I have the 92 wagon that has a low clutch pedal problem. The master and slave both are leaking and left fluid on the ground. So they both got...

Re: Radiators : Aluminum vs Brass ??

That makes sense to me. Thanks for the experience. I could still have my stock brass radiator rodded and boiled out, and send this all aluminum guy back.

Re: Easy access for adjusting the FITV,( warmup idle & surging) on 90-93 Accords

All of these past posts were in relatively warm weather. Once the weather got cold this winter the surging came back. I had previously backed off the FITV adjustment 1 full turn from tight. And that...

Re: 92 LX wagon wwith stuck CEL.

Re: Radiators : Aluminum vs Brass ??

In theory it explains it, but in reality I don't know anything new. Since the tanks are plastic, they don't dissipate heat well at all. The fact that they are throw away and not repairable is a...

Re: 92 LX wagon wwith stuck CEL.

This interior is so dirty I don't think I can handle all of the labor to clean it up. I am looking into some of the pro shops around to see what they want to clean it up.

Re: 92 LX wagon wwith stuck CEL.

90% of the vibration was a tire that had serious cupping. I should take this car in for an alignment. Replacing the tire took care of it. Now I have to find the other 10%. I went to a couple of cheap...

Re: 92 LX wagon wwith stuck CEL.

I was on my way to the junk yard to see if I could find a used ecu for the wagon. I checked the prices on the web and $60 just was too much. So I took the computer out of my running 91 Accord EX and...

Where did the coolant come from?? If it's inside the valve where it's attached...

Re: EGR port cleaning without using carb cleaner

OEM rules if it's not too pricey. Kragen only sold the entire injector o-ring/seal set for $12 each. That's $48 total. Barf. So if you can find the green o-rings used on the ends of the injectors,...
