Hey,

I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX with clogging in the coolant lines between the FITV and the IACV. I have no major issues (other than my recently dead starter) and while I know that these should be replaced I am not sure where to go for the tubing. For parts I either use used parts found locally or hit up rock auto but I haven't been able to find much on these guys. Will try my local Honda dealer next if I have no luck here.

To clarify: I am searching for a website/ store/ advice on where to get the appropriate pieces of tubing.

It's likely if your lines are clogged then you've been only running water through your system instead of coolant. Running water through your system not only has the tendency to ruin your cooling system components but your more likely to destroy your engine internally as well through advanced corrosion.

 

Ok thanks. Back info, bought the car year and a half ago. Got majority of the fluids changed professionally but not 100% I got the coolant flushed.

My questions are:
A) should I flush the coolant system, or is topping up the correct fluids sufficient?
B) Can I do this myself or should I go to a shop (was going to go in anyways to get a pre-trip inspection done in the next month)?
C) Should I replace the lines before or after the flush? Before makes sense but want to confirm.

Thanks!
