Two Questions, Startup and heating issue!!
I have seen my first question on this site but have not seen a straight answer.
1. My 94 Honda Accord DX has been runnimng fine until recently, When I go to start my engine "cold" it idles very rough and acts like it will die. The problem has been very sporadic until now. (It use to do this after sitting for 8-9 hours) Now it does it after 2-3 hours of sitting. After about 30 seconds it runs fine.
I have seen several diagnoses to this problem.. Bad fuel pump, coolant leaking, misfiring, and I just don't know where to start.
2. My car will heat up when I idle for a minute or two, when the A/C is on it will heat up quickly (almost hit red in about 30 seconds) but when I start driving it will go back to normal temp. I have noticed the driver side fan never turns on, but the passenger fan will stay on 5-10 minutes after I have turned my car off (I heard this is the computer telling the fan to run because the car is to warm)
i APPRECIATE you listening to my problems and if you have an answer it would be awesome!!

Coolant is full?
1. Test for leaking head gasket....which might be the result of #2
2. Ac on, do both fans run?
2.a., ac off let the car sit in the driveway for 20~30 minutes (or more, depends on outside temps)-always keeping an eye on the temp and shut off it it goes HOT-do both fans cycle on and off as the temp startes to climb.....I call hot 3/4 (2 o'clock) on the gauge, if it goes more than that, IMO-damage is being done.
