You will have to bed in your new brake pads. Also depends on your brake pad type. Usually when you change to new pads and don't adjust the parking brake cable, the rear brakes will be engaged all the...
Those voltages look okay. If idle fluctuates when you use the door locks, then it should also fluctuate when you turn the lights on and off. Try that out. However, from your battery and alternator...
You can use a flash light to look at the compressor clutch. The outer ring will be spinning and the centre will be idle when A/C is off. When A/C is on, the clutch engages and the middle will spin as...
I have 6 AWG grounding wires, but didn't notice a difference in starting performance. I believe the quality of your battery plays a much bigger role. I'm using Supercharge Gold batteries now...
Quite normal. Even back when the CL9 first came out (mine is a 2004), we would experience some struggling to start when the engine was warm. We suspected that there was some residual fuel in the...
If it is the inner CV joints, it vibrates at about 55 km/h and 110 km/h under acceleration. Is that happening to yours? I went the aftermarket route for $280. Worked well. Then I noticed the engine...
Try holding in a higher gear as you slow down approaching an intersection. If the beep never occurs then, then your belt may be too long. Stock belt is a 7PK1750. On mine, when I changed the air con...
When you bleed, make sure the slave cylinder bleed valve is opened sufficiently. There is only enough space to turn the spanner 1/4 turn, and that is not enough to open up the bleed valve. You'll...
It should still cut off at redline. Having a manual gear box from the 2000's means that it does not have a sensor to tell which gear you are in, unlike the newer 86/BRZ.
Mine is not a CU2, but CL9. Even after the following mods: Cold air feed short ram intake, intake manifold gasket, aftermarket headers, lightweight flywheel, helical LSD, Tein Flex coilovers, rear...
Does the sound go away when you turn the A/C off? Mine has that whining sound as well after I replaced the A/C compressor. It is there very clearly when accelerating with A/C on. It goes away when I...
Hi William,
This is a common problem, which relates to the accelerator pedal position sensor. The fix is to replace the sensor and your car will work fine again. There are a few threads on this in...
Inner CV joint. Had the same issue on my Accord Euro. Vibration was at 55 km/h only, and only under throttle. It would also vibrate at twice that speed, 110 km/h, which was obvious on the freeway.
Labour is a pain. If you choose to DIY, note that you will need to disconnect the top radiator hose (some coolant leakage if you don't drain part of it out first) and remove the radiator fans to...
The Accord (V6 and Euro) have a front hydraulic mount, which is connected to a vacuum line. When that mount wears out, you get 2 effects. Firstly, the vibration dampening which actually matches with...
I'm a fan of Honda ATF, because of the odd viscosity. However, Penrite should be okay, just check that it lists Honda as one of the OEM standards that it meets.
Welcome! The issues you described are typical of an older car. My 2004 Acord Euro has similar issues. For your shuddery automatic, first thing is to replace the transmission fluid with Honda ATF. The...
