i own a 1990 Honda Accord, and i think it may need a new timing belt soon.

my friend says i need a manual, where can i find a 1990 accord manual?

any other information i should know before tweaking my car?

 

btw, everything seems to be messing up on my accord, why is it? i am the sole owner of it and it suddenly starts breaking down.

i recently fixed the radiator, got new brakes, had to get new tires, and my distributor broke YESTERDAY. what's up with my car?

 

u must have angered it.....

also remember the car is 15 years old, how many things have u had 15 years that still work without parts breaking after a while

 

The timing belt job isn't that hard but it's not the easiest thing to do either. You need a basic tool set and a couple special tools as wells as a good manual. I prefer to use the Helms manual which you can buy from http://www.HelmInc.com. They are a little expensive though at $64 plus shipping but are well worth it. The hardest part of the job is getting that Crank Pulley bolt off. Once thats off the rest is down hill. Follow the manual and it's not bad. Other than the crank pulley bolt the next thing that gets annoying is the space constraint. There isn't much room to get in there. This will eat up some time just because you have to get on the ground and look from under the car then get up and look from up top and back and forth. Nothing major just takes longer your first time since it makes it harder to locate everything. So you need to make sure you leave yourself enough time to get it done with out rushing yourself.
