Hey everyone, I've been looking through these forums the past couple days and man, does this forum have alot of information and knowledgeable people.

I have recently gotten a white 87 LX-i hatchback and know almost nothing about cars, could someone link me to somewhere to learn the basics of cars and then maybe specifics of how like a 3g works. I don't even know what engine my accord has. When the 87 accord was made it had one of either 2 engines? I know it has a pgm-fi thing from Honda. The A/C doesn't work. It accelerates amazing though. 170,000 miles. I think I am the third owner.

Anyways, I am really happy I found this site. Hopefully I can learn more about cars and my 3g.
