when i turn on my head lights my car stalls (im starting to hate this ******* car has 5 dents from me already ) anyone have any idea im not big on electricity problems cause i only do tire chages and oil changes at a local shop

 

check your main ground wires.

 

think of a wire like a hose, large gauge wires with good connections can carry a lot of current easily, small gauge wires or bad connections limit the amount of power a wire can carry (amps) so even though the voltage may read 12 (or 13.5, whatever) if the connection is crappy or the wire degraded your coil will starve for power & miss a spark e.g. stall the engine...or another possibility is the alternator is going; does the car run fine with the headlights on with a fresh charge for about 60 minutes then take a crap? (get a good charger & try that, you'll need a good charger in your tool collection anyway) or just keep kicking the car because that always works out well in the end.

 

You might want to look at these:

1. weak battery
2. poor battery connections
3. weak alternator or slipping belts or bad connections

 

ur goiing to hell for honda abuse, i cant BELIEVE youd injure a defensless car, ur gonna get hit by a car and got to hell and get f*cked by the devil in the back of his car for that...

 

NEw battery replaced terminals and i hear the belts slip occasionally but only when it first starts and i hold it at 4k rpm to even out the gas flow from the crappy stock fuel pump... alternator is charging the battery just fine its at 14.27 when running and 12.47 when off and btw my honda is going to be abused by drifting and street racing. Sucks I didnt have enough money for a 1986 5.0 mustang

 

well drifting and street racing is a differnt thing, thats not nearly as bad, i haul *** and redline too, but try and not touch the car if possible so i dont scrach the paint withany dust thats on it, and i also park way the hell in th eback of the parking lots

 

I thought I was ghetto, but street racing in an 89 accord? Are you keeping that b*tch stock or droppin a H22A in there?

 

staying stock mostly no turbo / supercharger.. no new engine just a toy getting either a 99 camaro or a 91 5.0 soon
