Assuming that you bleed the air out each time you refill, and you don't see a water leak, which rules out the water pump, then I suggest renting a coolant pressure tester from the parts store. Make sure you get the import adapter as well. I had to secure the reservoir tank hose with a pair of...

Which relay did you replace? Because it sounds like the main relay.

Good job, will bookmark this. Thank you for keeping control of your camera/phone and for speaking clearly. FYI, dealerships do not use the same price lists. If you have more than one Acura/Honda in your area be sure to call and price it. And while on topic, has someone compiled and posted a...

My wife calls these, 'sticker dumb.' Honestly, I don't want my car looking like skateboard with a ad-hoc, slapped together design instead of the precisely designed magnificent machine that it is.

Can you post a video so we can hear it?

If I understand you correctly, you said that it only makes a single click when you turn the key? If all it will do is make a click, or even a few clicks, then your problem is your starter. All motors burn out eventually. You can confirm it by removing the starter - guides for this can be found...

Double check some of your smaller hoses. There are several smaller hoses on the back of the engine that most people don't think about. One goes to the throttle body for instance. Then there is always the possibility that your radiator is clogged. The inability to exchange hot for cold air at...

Here is a pretty good guide. It has helped me out. http://timingbelt.soben.com/ Line up the marks, as it says in the guide, and don't over think it. Note that you need to roll he belt around a few times before tightening the tensioner. If any of it seems overwhelming find someone to help or...

The fan on the driver side is associated with the air conditioning system. The relay for that fan is on the passenger side in the fuse box near the battery. The relay might be bad, if you want to test it, a cursory google search will probably give you a better guide than I could provide...

Thanks Prozon, I think we have different heads. Before you ask, the line on the crank sprocket is dead even with the mark on the block. It looks like I have the top aligned but you can see the 1/2" of deflection I am coming up with on the front side. So . . are my cams turned too far ahead or...

I'm trying to replace my timing belt, and I have done it before without incident but for some reason I'm just not able to line up the cam journals properly. I keep coming up with slack and the belt jumps teeth. I need a good close up and focused picture of the cam journals in their proper...

My wife literally became nauseated when she saw this car. Looks like an oompa loompa should be seen getting out of it.

I feel torn on this dramatic issue. On one hand, this is the wrong place to start a thread for bitching about something insignificant compared to owning a 17yr old car that still turns heads. On the other hand, the application of blanket terms to broad ideas is how you move from speaking...

At least the paint matches :O But I'm not sure he can see out of the back window. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Good explanation man. I don't think I've ever had to remove the support fork you described in the first pictures but it probably would have been easier to do so. I just did similar work on my car and the following picture is what happens when a shop installs the axle nut with an impact gun...

Search the forum for some info. I've posted a link to a site where a guy posted pics but I'm on my phone right now. The main thing to have is the Honda pulley tool. I got it for about 35 from amazon. Putting the timing belt back on made me more nervous than anything else so keep playing with...

Maybe you should save it for when a rock from the "road," not the dump truck, cracks your windshield. Or you come back to your car in the parking lot and find a dent that mysteriously appeared while you were away.

Well, the Teg has 186k and I just had a little trans work done, but that is only because "someone" forced it into second when the clutch was going and 6 different shops couldn't diagnose it as such. But the Accord, with manual transmission, has 340k miles, no major work has been necessary. I...

This guy is ballin. Especially with the front fender piece flapping in the wind. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Most of us know about Eric's efforts to empower all of us. I think this one is especially valuable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgrfT0LFMhc
