Ok, It seems I've made no connections with people here. Most think I'm rich or they think I think I'm better them everyone else. I'm not rich and I'm no better than anyone else.
Sorry, had to get that out first.
I own an 89 Accord DX 4DR, It's all stock and it was never cared for by past owners.The interior is in poor shape. the body is fixable. I just had the passanger side wheel hub in the front redone due to broken studs.
The radiator just got replace with a junkyard 90 Accord radiator. Had to cut the nipples off the top of the radiator to fit but, work fine.
When i got the car two months ago I put new rotors and pads on it. I found the passenger side coil spring was broken in two spots and still have been driving it. The radiator went out wednessday and ifxed it as said above drove it then got home and the driver side coil spring dropped. Had the spring and strut mounts already, just not the struts. Got struts it will be done today. The coil spring, struts, radiator were all original to the car. Yes, 20yr old struts that had gone 256,000 miles.
I want to rebeuild this car and have made a decision on keeping the A20A1 motor. I have read that these are good strong motors that worked right can put out around 200hp without turbo, but I'm thinking thats with the A20A3 ( not sure though). Here is the problems with the carbed motor I have...
In the morning or if the motor is cold it starts hard like it is going to stall after a few minutes it rev's up to 2200-2600rpm's after five minutes I can kick it down to 1200rpm's while in park. When I put it in drive it's 700rpm's. The motor is very silent, Can barley tell it's running. It's an auto and it shifts alittle high and hard sometimes but it gets up and goes like a champ. What can I do to fix these issues so that later when I go to rebuild the car I won't have the same issues.
