The dealer is towing it in for the 3rd time today.  If we go 2 or 3 days
without driving the vehicle, the battery is low enough that it will not

this job? Other drive belts (since they all have to be taken off

Hello All.  Just wanted to post something in case anyone has a similar
problem.  Recently, the engine light came on in my 2001 Honda CRV (4
cylinder, 5 speed manual).  I noticed a slow drop in fuel economy,
from an average of 26.5, slowly down to around 21.5 over the course of

My timing belt broke on my 1989 Accord SEI. I guess it's a two liter fuel
injected. I managed to get it apart and get the new belt on. I got lucky and

I just bought a Honda Odyssey 2007.  I've looked through the owner's
manual and can't find a description of the alarm system. Perhaps there

I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX automatic, with about 175k miles.  Last

How common is complete auto trans failure at ~ 110K miles

blend, so I don't have a chance to compare with pure gasoline.  I've had

1990 Honda Accord 4 cyl. Driving and oil pressure light flashes whenever
I put on the brakes. Had it towed to a mechanic. He says balance shaft seal
blew out. He is putting in new seal, with aftermarket retainer, along with
timing belt and water pump.

Got an ABS light on. Previously, I cured it by reseating the plugs
behind each rear wheel, and under the front hood.It was OK after that
for almost 2 years. The ABS light came on again. I reseated
everything,I think, but the light won't go out. That means no ABS. Has

1998 Accord EXV6, 126k miles, now driven by my son. Strange thing happened
when he got off the train at 2am early this am. His remote did not work at
all. It's been on its way out over the past several weeks, and putting a new
battery provided little improvement.
