hi. my 96 honda accord lx is at 190k miles and i was wondering what i should clean and replace? i do oil changes regularly as well as oil filters and air filters. besides that i put in new windshield wipers. i just bled my brakes and drain and fill my power steering and atf fluid.

what should i do now? i wanna clean like my throttle intake and egr and do some valve adjusting. what else?

thanks

 

A couple things that come to mind:
-fuel filter
-spark plugs
-coolant liquid (protection against corrosion and waterpump lubricant)
-timing belt

 

what about the thermostat and water pump?

 

No maintenance needed for these imho: only to be replaced when broken.

 

Water pump should be replaced when doing the timing belt. Also the seals.

 

but by the time the water pump is broken, wouldnt your car overheat?

 

That and it leaks like crazy.

 

if the bearings in a water pump go bad it could casue the belt to brake also. you should always change both when u do one. whats a little pace at mind for what 40 extra bucks? but id do timeing belt water pump tune up. check ball joints and bushings and tie rods ect. then just run it until she drops. i mean if the body is junk id fix the bare min and drive it but if the car is really nice id fix everything if i planed on keeping it along time imop... also check surp belt make sure no cracks and pwr stearing.... g/l man

 

well, there is a lot you can do.

all the belts can be replaced
cooling system (water pump, rad. cap, thermostat, drain and new coolant)
ignition system (cap and rotor, wires, plugs)
fuel system (fuel filter, have the pressure checked on the service fitting)
suspension (check ball joints and tie rod ends/boots)
wheels(check tire pressure, check tread/tire life, rotate tires)
driveline (inspect cv axle inner and outer cv boots)

i know some was mentioned already. there you go. that is a lot of stuff that can keep it going.

 

what abotu transmission seals. my transmission is really wet all under.

 

Dont forget to clean out your EGR Valve, but most importantly the EGR Chamber. Its located on top of the Intake Manifold, and below fule injectors. I cleaned out mine @ 215K. It was so clogged up, that i was getting a CEL.

thats pretty bad, theres a video on youtube that shows how to service the egr but im not sure about the egr chamber. what does it look like? thanks

 

im sure thos belts are fine but for the amount of damge they could casue id get them from my local parts store or dealer incase of any issues. so its really your call i mean its your car lol.

 

but arent those brands respectable? bando is a honda brand isnt it?

 

like i said man your ride you pick lol. id just go to autzone or napa and get one in person for that kind of part. you know just to look at it in my hands not on a screen. but thats me. i have bought plenty of parts off ebay with 0 issues but i just need to look at my belts.

 

gotcha!
