Hey Everyone,

Hoping some people can help me solve some problems ... I have a 1990 Honda Accord Sedan, that has recently started buring oil. The strange thing is that when it is hot, everything seems fine. But when the temperature dips, everytime I start the car, blue smoke comes out the rear ...

Secondly, is there a reason that the radio and clock is tempermental? As in working sometimes and not other? I've checked all the fuses and they're fine ... any suggestions?

Thanks Everyone!

 

The radio/clock thing is normal for a Honda.

sounds like your getting oil blow-by in the piston rings. When they're warmer, they expand and seal better. When colder, contract and oil blows by. Need: new bottom end...

How many miles on the car? (uh...that would kinda help too)

 

the car has about 260 thousand KMs on it ... guess it's not a problem really worth fixing if I need a new bottom end. Would using a heavier oil help the problem? I live in Canada, so the problem is quite noticible in the winter cause it's cold.

about the clock/radio thing, is there a fix there? no radio is rather annoying at times.

Thanks!

 

you could have a bad 7.5 fuse in the underhood relay.... try replacing with a fresh one...
