Default 3 tech questions for a 94 accord, helpp!!!

1st. Question-
the cooling fan been going on and off ALOT,
it mainly turn on the most 4-5 times people say,
after i shut off the motor, but it goes on for like 10-11 times...
do anyone know whats the problem with this??

2nd. Question-
when i hit first gear, there seem to be like a slight lag,before it gets the go,,
is there anything i can "DIY" to adjust this?
just to quicken my pick up speed a little...

3rd. Question- Tranny prob..on a auto..
when i pull my gears down to drive,
a crank sound happens, anyone know if thats any harm??
my cars on a slight tilt cause of my driveway,
was wondering can it be the tranny fluids rolled to the back?
and my gears are not moistened?
i have no clue at all bout tranny, any comments + oppinions are welcomed.
thanks..

1.) Do a radiator flush, and depending on your mileage change your thermostat
it should help keep your engine cooler.

2.) Not to sure based on your explanation of your problem maybe try adjusting your throttle cable

3.) Again depending on your mileage you may try changing your transmission fluid and if that doesnt work try backing into your driveway

It's located on your intake mani. If you have cruise control, there will be two cables that you will see. The throttle cable is the one closest to the firewall. Hope that helped.

At the bottom of this thread, niedejb explains how to adjust the throttle cable. Just in case you wanted to know how to adjust it.

When you park your car on your driveway, make sure to pull up the e-brake (aka parking brake) so that when you let off the brakes, your car won't slide forward or backwards...this should prevent any harm from putting your car in gear when you're parked on an incline.
