Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / March 2005Honda question
Hi folks Youve helped me in the past + I need help again. I have a 89 honda accord LX, and it runs great --- except in the rain. When I hit even a small puddle something (probably underneath) seems to get wet and the whole system shuts down. After about 10 minutes it starts back up but it sputters when I accelerate for a minute or two + then it's fine. Sometimes the power steering feels sluggish at the same time, so I'm thinking it might be a wet + slipping belt. But every time I ask you guys a question - you have the correct answer so what do you think I should do?

Car didn't like running in the rain, or fog. hth, tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com >Hi folks > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >VB Stop driving in the rain.
