first one is that my 89 coupe lxi 5spd has a delayed start... takes a good 4 seconds of cranking to kick over... any ideas? im leaning toward a new fpr but i could be wrong.... second.. is it possible to have the front suspension tophats flipped upside down? the top of my shocks seem sunk in and i have reason to suspect they have been messed with... any input would help.. thanks in advance!

i would say that all 3gezz have a 2-4 sec delay in starting lol all 3 of the ones i had did
im sure you could flip them but it would be a hell of a lot fn work to fuck that up lol
if you think yours are, take a pic and we will let you know
but you would def have to drill the bolts out or hammer them out to do so
hmm.. my 87 lxi started right up... seemed like it didnt even do 2 complete revolutions then bam startup lol.. but eh.. i might replace the fpr anywayOriginally Posted by ghettogeddy
and yeah ill try to get some pics up of the tophats

found something interesting... i was browsing the 86-89 accord haynes book at autozone and i saw this intake manifold... never seen it before.. what is it to?
and an off topic question... my moms 89 civic D15b2 had a trans swap... and the auto only had 1 shift solenoid... the one they got it swapped with has 2 solenoids... which one do i connect? right now the bottom one is connected... what would happen if i connected the upper one? or BOTH?

i mean ya it looks like it has a tb to but the vc and the extra oval tubing tell me carbed
wounder if its just a messed up photo chop lol
i always tend to notice wired lil things that seem off in those manuals
I am pretty sure that is fuel injected. Look in the upper left hand corner, you see the intake pipe and throttle body. Follow that towards the right and look back you will see the runners. You can also see the top of the FPR.

1989 Accord LX: Sold with 208k-now somewhere around 230k with new owner
Current:
2014 Elantra Sport 6MT
2000 Montero Sport 4x4 (beater, trail rig)
ya but its got almost the same mounting points for the carb box on the vc and the intake and the oval intake pipe thats sitiing in between the vc and the intake
plus fi tb is no were near that low lol
might possibly be for a twin carb lude
Your car should start right up BANG. Does it always take the exact same amount of time, or is the time getting longer?
most of the time it starts with less then 2 revolutions of the engine... and other times it takes like 3-5 seconds to crank over... im thinking the fpr isnt holding pressure..

Hey guys i have the same pic in my haynes book,and it says it covers from 84-89 accords.So i think that is an 84-85 accord.
did the 2g's have an fi option? 0_o
ok ok... so how about my second problem? the civic trans? i kinda need some info on that one... its been acting a bit sluggish

That's an ES3 engine from the 1985 Accord SE-i in that picture. Yes, it's fuel injected.
Test your coil out for the starting issue. or if you have a spare try swapping it, they dont aways test bad. Better yet get a blaster at part store for like $40
2x here mine all start at 2 cranks
"Weight is relative to power like time is relative to speed"
is it possible to put the ES3 intake on the A20? the ES3 looks pretty simple and thats all i want in an intake manifold... nothing too crazy
