    I had a 93 with automatic and several years ago there was a slow leak under the transmission. At least 2 mechanics wanted to replace the transmission lines, which included the radiator. Finally, went to the guy who is my current mechanic and he suggested replacing the rubber (probably synthetic) tube connections as they might be 'weaping'. He did. No problem since.

    Well the dealer could easily perform a cooling system pressure test to determine if the head gasket is bad---you don't have to "guess" about a head gasket. I presume you made a type and you meant that you were charged $160, not $1600 for an AIC valve? Checking the cooling system was a good idea, since air blockage could cause false readings on the temp. gauge. It's possible that the dealer ... Read More

    When the car doesn't start, and the cause is the battery is now discharged and doesn't have enough voltage to start the car, then the problem is either: - the battery is defective, or - there is something 'on' in the vehicle, which is drawing a current while the vehicle is turned off, and drawing all of the current out of the battery while it sits for two days.

    Written by: readingteacher on Jul 12, 2008 10:46:31 AM

    Hi, I need some help with a problem I have with my 1993 Honda Accord, 142,000 miles. Over the past several months, my car has been jumping/hesitating/stuttering. Initially, it happened so rarely I thought I had gone over something on the road. It happened more frequently, I started to pay attention. It felt as though I had driven over speed bumps. The car would lose power, stutter/jump several times and then ... Read More

    That will do it. That has to be a really tight connection. How could that be loose, if you had the battery checked at autoparts store? They would have tightened it.....

    Your logic make sense. I opened the hood today and spent sometime looking into the connections. I saw the wire that connects the starter to the battery really loose. So I cliped it firmly. I will see if this will fix the problem...if not, I will try other possibilities.

    Unlikely the starter, remotely possible, but I doubt it. The only thing you are doing when 'jumping' the vehicle, is connecting up a known battery of working voltage to your battery. If the starter had a problem, which battery is connected doesn't matter. Since you know you have a good battery and alternator, the next thing to eliminate is whether something is draining down your battery. If you have a charged ... Read More

    In addition to the previous advise, check your battery cables. A faulty battery cable will often (typically in my experience) exhibit the same symptoms as a weak battery during the start cycle, sometimes even requiring a jump start, but won't necessarily have an obvious noticeable effect on the car's charging / electrical system once it is running. If your warning light is not illuminating when the car is running and you ... Read More

    You should have had Autozone test the old battery first. Your car's electrical system could be draining the battery, or you could have a main relay problem. Read this link, and try to diagnose the cause. http://techauto.awardspace.com/ignition.html The important thing is to find the cause, and test the suspected parts. Getting into a guessing game, can become very expensive. Good luck, in your quest for truth. :)

    Did you have autozone load test your old alternator and battery before buying a new battery? Most autochains will do that for free. Since your car starts when jumped, that usually means your battery is discharged. 'WHY' it is discharged, is the real question. If it was discharged because the battery had a bad cell, then replacing the battery would fix the problem. However, if the reason the battery had low ... Read More
