ey guys, in a RUSH, im late for work!

anywayyy, just picked up a "1989 accord" couldnt find the appropriate forum quick enough so im posting here..


starts up a little rough, idles fun until it gets warm (or until driven) then it wont idle it'll just stall unless i give it gas steadily, idle control or anything?

also, no fifth gear, it shifts into 5th, but when given gas it has no motivation to go.. was told the syncros could be shot

thanks in advanced!!

 

DX, LX or LXi...or another way..carb or FI....and just for my own info- how many doors. Liked the 3rd gens, had the whole set in 4 dr at one time.

In 5th, is it a slipping feeling or a lack of power.

Since you just picked it up there are several maint types of things that you might want to check as well.

 

she's a two door.

no idea what trim, or if it's a fi or carb.. emblems have been shaved

5th feels like its slipping

 

Pop the hood and see, or take a picture of the engine bay and post it up. Then we can try to move from there.

 

 

Looks nice! It's been updated so I can't tell by the pic, if it was factory then I could narrow it down. As redbull said, pop the hood. Also, the ecu is under the drivers seat-at least in the 4 dr-should be the sme on the 2 dr. See if there are any stored codes.

EDIT: Too slow in typing...thats a DX or LX carb.

 

Looks like it is carbureted.

See this thread for some info.:

And this thread for the pcv valve location:

I'll see if I can dig up some more info.

 

first thread helped
had the tranny apart, its a mess, off to the junkyard tomorrow, thanks a lot guys

 

Again just for my own reasons. Power windows and door locks? If so then you've got a LX. If not then it is a DX...no real diff.

 

neither

 

"neither"? So no power windows (cranks you have to spin) or locks? If so just for future ref, that is a DX...again doesn't matter, just me wondering.

 

correct^ lol
