If the threads are messed up.you can helicoil them with 5/16-24 helicoils and use a common fine thread coarse thread exhaust stud, the 5/16 studs will usually clear the stock exhaust manifold holes,or require them to be enlarged a very small amount. I say use these because the 5/16 studs and helicoils are much more commmon. You can also use arp studs
The check engine light comes on and stays on like every other time i drive the accord, i dont see any obvious problems, do you guys have any ideas on what it could be, the ecu blinks 13 times, if there is any corrilation between the two. thanks!
My car has green coolant in it, isn't there a specific coolant for these cars. I thought it was like blue or something. Am i wrong?
The green coolant is the conventional coolant that was used by all cars through 1989. Some cars still used it in the early 90s models.
When the car manufactures spec'ed different formulations of coolants to increase the service life of the coolant (longer intervals between changes) they new formulations were colored differently to identify them as different from the conventional green and each other because they are not compatible with each other.
The blue coolant was used on Hondas from the late '90s. As far as I was able to find in my research, it was green coolant in disguise. It seems that Honda used all the coolant confusion to pull a fast one on its customers. To be fair, the blue color indicated a long-life 5-year coolant, vs. the 2 year green coolant that was common at the time.
Long and short: use green coolant in your 3g and be happy!

this definitely is a noob question but do you guys know if Polk Audio DXi651 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers — also fit 6-3/4" openings at Crutchfield.com will fit in the doors? or should i just go for the shallow mount ones Polk Audio DXi651s 6-1/2" 2-way shallow-mount car speakers at Crutchfield.com ?
So my accord is has a carburator, is there a choke? and if there is it the nob under the steering wheel? and also does anyone elses shake sometimes at stop lights?
I have a 88 honda accord, carborhated engine. I just replaced the fuel filters, fuel pump relay, and the fuel pump. When I changed the fuel filters and pump, it worked for about an hour and then stopped working. Since I know those are all good, what should I look at next to try to fix the car
I've installed plenty of new parts that were bad. Check that you're getting fuel to the carb. Better yet, verify proper fuel pressure if you can. Also double-check your work to make sure you don't have a loose connection or something.

Where does water runoff from the windshield go? Obviously, it flows downward but where does it go after it flows down below the windshield wipers?

What type of LEDs can I use to replace the front door lights, trunk light, and glove box light?
I used DE3175 LEDs for the dome light and back door lights, they just seemed a little too big to fit in the other places.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
