So this week I picked up a 1990 Accord. High milage, been sitting, cheap, looks decent... I just like the bodystyle and have been looking to get one for a while.

Like any other cheap Honda, there are several things wrong. I looked at a few other Honda sites and found bits and pieces of answers.... when I found Honda-Tech I quit looking anywhere else.

You guys have it down! I even found a link that lists the resistor values for the TCU so I didn't have to post asking if anyone has them. As a matter of fact, I think any problem I may need some insight on has been covered and usually has some really good answers. I haven't even seen a "What oil should I use?" thread!

Freaking awesome!

Now for the required newb question.

Do I really need the starting valve? I blocked it off to pinpoint my idle issues and that seemed to work, the car starts just fine cold and I can't locate a new one anyway. Can I just ditch it or will that come back to bite me when the temps drop into the 20's?
