    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    just did an engine swap and mechanical secondary conversion and can get it to turn over but can not get it to start its spraying fuel when i try to start it think it is the fuel because fuel in the tanks is 2 years old my step dad thinks the timings off maybe both ?

    uh maby it's the two year old fuel? now that the carb,fuel pump,and lines, as well as both filters are full of that, you have a mess, i have a good used pump if you need to buy one,if it's been submeged in that crap two years, you need one soon

    Which fan is the a/c condensor fan, the one on the passenger side or drivers side?

    drivers side i've been told. I always thought they were both for cooling the radiator, not a compressor...

    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    I've been thinking about doing the Weber carb Conversion in my 83 accord. How do I figure out if I have an 8 or 12 valve engine? The data plate on the door doesn't say and I've looked all over the engine bay and couldn't find anything there.

    I believe all US-market 1983 Accords had the 12-valve EK1.

    I saw that on the accord wiki page, it also said that was the year they started making hondas in the US, but mine was made in Japan so I didn't know if it was different

    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    It should say on the valve cover. They were pretty proud of the 12-valve engines at that time. If it's stamped steel, it's probably only 8. You could always remove the cover and count the valves too.

    I have a problem with the electrical in my 1988 Honda accord dx sedan , when I turn on my headlights my dash lights turn off and taillights but the break lights work ,but if I turn on my dash lights my tail lights work but I cant get my headlights on . Sounds confusing if u need me to explain better let me know , and I also changed my reverse light bulb because it was out .

    Running the coolant full strength won't hurt anything. If you're worried, drain some out and refill with water. You want to use the green coolant. Stay away from the orange coolant or anything labeled as being for DexCool.

    Can I use these small lug nuts on my car? They are half the size of the ones that came with my first car, but they have the same amount of thread.

    Itll take lots of work for us new members to become aom or aoy before some veterans on the side Mark.

    I do agree we needs the AOM nominations back to bring some life back to this site.

    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    Looking for worthwhile investments into my 89 honda accord lxi coupe. I had found tokico hp blue shocks and H&R lowering springs for a more performance mod. to my suspension.

    Would it be worth it to install and keep them in after future anticipation of doing an engine swap & upgrade to a 6 speed manual transmission (years down the line)?

    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    Thanks-at 218k plus miles I think so. I mainly feel a need to modify when I go around sharper turns like round-abouts a little faster. It doesn't hop or anything like too soft, just want to make her solid. CV boots I know to check and last year my tie rod stripped threads & I lost steering and ability to drive since FR drive. What other tests should I look for with suspension and steering that might be worn?

    re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!

    Why does Honda tell us to bleed our brakes starting at the closest brake to the master cylinder when every other car starts with the farthest?
