Several issues with 93 Accord wagon
So I bought a 93 Accord wagon with a new engine head,timing, gaskets, alternator, distributor, and more. It runs pretty good but I have some issues that are scaring me.
1. I previously had a sedan so maybe they are different and I need to get used to this but acceleration seems to be slower especially on hills. I can’t really slam on the gas and take off like I could in my 93 sedan. It seems to shift normal just not like I’m used to. Also when you floor it the initial jolt and take off takes a second.
2. There is a slight tick on the right side of the engine that goes away after putting the car into drive and seems to be getting better.
3. When idling in drive the RPM goes 2 marks lower than 1000 but if idling in Park it idles a bit high. RPM gauge also likes to randomly fly around and stop working so it may be off but when idling in drive you can tell the difference as well as park. Reverse also vibrates and RPMS are a bit low.
4. The power door locks randomly act up. Such as the passenger door will lock but not unlock automatically. The key will only power unlock the front doors, sometimes the door locks will only unlock half way, etc.
5. When I put the key in the ignition, no matter which of my keys, it won’t turn unless I sit and move the steering wheel or sometimes even jiggle/rotate the key.
would like to mention the car has no check engine lights, has 180k miles, and no apparent leaking.
