Alright well i bought this 1990 honda accord lx. Of course i want to do some amazing things with this car, but it doesnt even run well and i need help!! One of the problems with it is my radiator and radiator hose. When i was letting the car run i noticed after a while smoke started coming from what seems to be the radiator. My radiator fans dont run and i dont understand why. Also, my upper radiator hose is swollen huge and i dont know what to do. Another problem im having is my a/c it doesnt blow anymore. I can hear a clicking noise but thats about it. And last my car sputters when I hit on the gas. At times when i hit on gas my rpm just drops completely and my car dies. I have no clue what these problems are but i dont want this car to be a money pit and i havent even driven it yet so can someone PLEASE*** help me out!!!!

 

Old cars tend to need TLC, especially so if they've gone through years of neglet. I have a 1992 Accord I personally use as a daily. I picked it up for $675 and 3-years have sank almost $11,000 into it keeping it road worthy (some of that cost is from replacing a broken F22 A/T with an H22 M/T setup however)

Sounds like your cooling system needs to be redone. If you would like, PM me and I'll price you out a radiator and a rehose.

The engine sputtering is likely from being overdue for a tuneup. Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, etc. should go a long way.

If you need any help, just shoot me a message.
