hahaha, you come here to expect an answer and you treat people like shit. You're lucky I feel fine today.

1- PGM-FI lights comes on.

Can be alot alot alot of problems. Look under your driver seat. There is a boc with a little tab covering the side facing the rear of the car. Flip it when the light is on and you'll be able to read the code. Then, compare the code with the one in the FAQ section.

2- Heater doesn't work.

Check the heater cables going to the heater hose under the hood. There is a valve that will allow coolent to flow inside the heater core.

If everything is fine. check the fire going to the heater core itself. That wire will control the air flow. If the air doesn't pass through the core, it won't be hot.

3- Hesitation:

Solve the PGM-FI light first. If the hesitation is still present. Come back here.



Now, I'm giving you your first and last warning. This is a place for car enthusiast to share knowledge and have fun. If you can't wait long enough for an answer, leave this place(it can even take up to a day or 2). If no one knows the answer, you won't get any replies either. This isn't a live chat you know.

I hope you don't mind my asking. I own an 86 Accord (just bought it) and I didn't realize the dome light and the 2 driver side door lights don't come on (among MANY other problems). I've checked the bulbs, but I can't find anything. Could anyone help me please?

Thanks

Having problems with your car as well?? I think I got screwed when I bought the car. paid $1200 cdn, and the rockers, and the entire inner uni-body are rusted. Not only that, but when I stop at a red light, the car vibrates like crazy.

This board is great. It may take a day or two to get the answer that solves my problem, but the answer usually ends up saving me hours of work later on. People asking for help should either be patient or find someone else to bitch at.

Thanks alot for all your help, I appreciate. This is going to give a few ideas on how to fix it at least. Once I get that solved I can move on to other many problems I have. Brakes, anitfreeze(black as night), Wishbone, Glove box(doesn't close), the list goes on. Did any one else have this many problems with their car, or did I just buy a piece a shit!!!! haha

WOW, now thats an engine. Well the rockers are fixed, the exhaust is fixed. Now all I'm concerned with is passing the E-Test. After that I can finally put it on the road, and I'll probably be happy with it. In fact, it already sounds and feels much better after I tuned it up and fixed the exhaust pipe.

That's one hell of an engine you got!!!

I agree with you, I expected some things needed to be done, but the dude that sold me the car, totally lied when I asked him about the rockers. Cause when I got it checked out after I bought it, the guy said someone tried to lift the car in this condition, thats why part of the uni-body was lodged up by the top of the rocker.

Ya, I enjoy fixing things too, I bought the Chilton book and just went at it, but there is no way I could fix those rockers. And thanks, I just HOPE it passes the E-Test

but (pick 1)....

1-the don't let me play with sharp objects
2-lent my gas can to the local dope dealers
3-once put disel into a car at the advice of internet experts
4-dropped nuts and bolts down running engines to check if the "converter" was working, It sure was, I got iron filings out the exhaust, just like the guy on the board told me so. I couldn't find a kitten young enough to get down the intake, like some other guy told me to..he said cataylitic was just a fancy pants term for kitty
5-buying more spare cars to annoy the hell outta my wife ( and my town's building department)
6-Waiting in line at the DMV to register above cars so I could tell the builing inspector to take a walk, I'm legal and for now there is no rule on how many tagged cars I can have on my prorperty
7-trying to figure out how to ge the next 3g meet in my back yard
8-drinking way too much cofee

$1200 CDN is like $750 US

Hardly think it would be worth it to fly over for $700 US and pay shipping and import duty to bring it back in... oh yeah and 500GBP = $800 US

Just my 2 pense worth...

Change the bulb.

12-31-2002, 01:05 PM
don't you have to open a door?, I'd say depending on other factors you have neglected to mention, I'd say rather then doing an extensive trace of the harness and checking the switches, opening the door is the first logical step, checking switch position second, bulb third and then that fuse thing may be it.

all in good fun..I've not had a dome lamp bulb fail on me, but there is always a first time. Might be a real problem if the car has been in an accident ( like getting worked over by a not so good alarm installer)

87DXHatch
12-31-2002, 06:26 PM
Here's what you do:

Open the door with the switch for the light in the middle position, there should be an L shaped piece of plastic. Make sure this is coming out.

The baffoon who owned my car before me hammered the metal in on the plastic piece so it always stayed shut, so the light never came on. I had to remove the whole device and pry the metal open before it started moving back and forth again.

Hope this helps.

How to fix your heater: First, go out and get in your car and close the door. Then reach up on the dash and break those heater control knobs off and pitch them out the window.(After all: Your heater don't work anyways!). Then proceed to simply opening your mouth and letting all that hot air flow out into the passenger compartment. That should be warm enough for ya! Better yet; Why not but a different car, that the heater already works in? You don't deserve to drive a 3g anyways.
Have a nice day!;) Glad I could help!

Hey everyone I finally fixed that weird thing in my car I was having.. no thanks to you peasants. Anyway this is how I did it:

1. 3g->junkyard
2. tow-away $$
3. old ass Camry

And if you like Maddox you should read the rants on wtfiml33t.com as well, some of them are pretty good. (Not to be biased but a few of them are mine)
