Re: Need advice on 2005 Honda Accord Ex-L Coupe Silver [newbie2cars]
Extended warranties on any car rarely pay off. This only gives you an extra 4 years... To about the point where you may need it-- 1500 could pay for many car repairs as well- By the way you can get warranty for 750- I just bought my Acccord and was offered at that price 1 week ago-- ** for the person in LA looking for SE..

4.5 K to spend but need a car quick- please help with ideas
Hi there. I'm new here and haven't owned a car for 11 years so I'm *really* out of the loop. My small family (myself, husband, and toddler) need to buy a used car in about ten days. We only have about $4500 total (tax and fees, etc) to spend. We don't need much. Good gas millage, good reliability, and four doors is all we need. I thought we needed something like ... Read More

Re: 2009 Honda Accord Misfire [jrccb]
Extremely disappointing in my 2009 Accord V6 Sedan.

Since this is the second time this has happened I know this is the misfire issue we have all experienced. Last time ... Read More

Just a suggestion, you may want to weed through this sight to reach a forum that might relate to your vintage/year of Honda/Make. I believe you are posting in the 1994-1997 Accord page. Out of curiosity, I was wondering if you also had a separate AC button as well? If so is that light engaging?

Re: 1997 Honda Accord LX Dies Unexpectantly While Driving [osuskates]
Based on the symptoms described, the cause of the engine stalling is caused by fatigue cracking on the soldered fuel main relay mounting tabs. This is a Honda ***DESIGN*** problem with the relay - this is one of the few defects in an otherwise very reliable vehicle. The heat produced by normal operation of the relay causes the metal mounting tabs to expand, however the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is rigidly ... Read More

Re: 1997 Honda Accord won't start [gooch24]

Re: 1997 Honda Accord won't start [gooch24]
Hard to help with out seeing the car. Check/charge your battery for full charge. Look for bad fuse, relay, fusible link. Check wire connections, unplug/replug . Spray wires and connecters with LPS ,WD 40 or similar fluid to remove moister/dampness. Spray starter fluid into throttle body and try to start. If it hit/fires than the electrical is okay. Than must check fuel delivery. Is the check engine light coming on?

Re: 1997 Honda Accord...green fluid leaking out of my car. [jgirlhb]
Make sure you check the coolant level in your car. It is possible that the level is so low that the temp sensor is no longer submerged in the coolant. If this is the case, it may not send the correct signal to your gage. You might have an overheated engine with the gage reading lower than normal. If you check and find the coolant level low, you can probably fill ... Read More

1997 Honda Accord...green fluid leaking out of my car.
I went into Starbucks for my morning coffee...came out and green fluid was leaking out of the front of my car. Asked a guy in a truck next to me what was happening.

Re: 1997 Honda Accord Condenser Fan Runs Continuously [juandoe]
One more thing you might be able to check. If your vintage of Accord uses an A/C receiver-dryer with a sight glass in the top, you can see if there is any refrigerant passing through the receiver dryer. A low system will show fluid with alot of bubbles. The dryers are usually mounted near the front of the car, around the condenser. Mrbill

Re: 1997 Honda Accord Condenser Fan Runs Continuously [juandoe]
Check the hot water hose cutoff valve.

The valve is located on passenger side near the fire wall. It can be seen from the top side behind the motor. On position, the lever ... Read More

Accord Coupe V-6
Well after shopping around all of South Florida, I finally purchased a new 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 in black. The best price I could find including all dealer fees and destination was $26455. Everyone else wanted to add additional fee's or they were higher. Nice buying experience as everything was done over the phone. I had prearranged finance so it was just pickup and buy. Checking these boards out ... Read More

Check engine light is on and can't find where to plug the tester 97 Accord
I just got a 1997 Honda Accord Special Edition. The check engine light was on when I bought it. I went to auto zone to use there tester and I couldn't find where to plug in (typically under the steering wheel), the worker couldn't find it either. Any ideas? Can you turn the check engine light off with a sequence of operations like other Honda's? Thanks!

Radio and Cigarette Lighter
I have a 1997 Honda Accord. I recently purchased an iPod, and an FM transmitter for it. The cigarette lighter was spinning around, so that the iPod wouldn't stay were I wanted it to. So, I pulled that panel off, and saw that the rear portion of the cigarette lighter wasn't attached. I screwed the two pieces together, then put the panel back together. Since I was't doing anything significan to ... Read More

1997 Accord vibration
Has any one had experience with the Honda Accord automatic vibrating at idle at a stop light/etc? Shifting out of gear reduces the vibration. The car runs good, no trouble codes, no engine misfire, in park there is no vibration. What was done to correct the vibration problem? Thanks for your help.

Re: Nobody Here? [thegraduate]
Well, I'm back from driving! Here are my two cents... I just picked up a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6 with Navi a week ago, and I am loving it. Before my purchase, the comparison was between the highest trim levels of the Accord, Altima 3.5 SE, Camry SE V6, and Subaru Legacy GT Limited. Therefore, keep in mind that my comments are focused toward someone looking for a powerful and ... Read More

Re: Mazda6 v Honda Accord [m6user]
It's amazing to me that we're all talking about engines that are now pushing close to 4 Liters in size for "midsize" cars. I remember thinking the Accord was amazing for having crossed the 200hp barrier in the fall of 1997. At least MPGs have gone up. I can't help but think if we couldn't have more efficient engines if we had a cap on horsepower, say 200. I don't think ... Read More

Re: New to site [thegraduate]
Recently I've been hearing screeky sounds as I brake. ( I drive a 1997 Honda Accord four-door LX). So while I had my oil change at an auto shop, I had them check it. They told me to replace both the brake pad, bearing, and the rotor at the front. They told me its an safety issue because the pad had a crack and the rotor was worn out due to ... Read More

Re: Sloppy shifting, 07 Accord, 4-cyl [usarmycwo]
Hey, don't be so amazed. My grandparents have a 1997 Civic that shifts as smooth as my 2006 Accord, while my 1996 Accord feels like a kick in the pants in comparison to either. Who would've thought a Civic would shift better than an Accord of the same vintage? Haha The good part is that the 4-cyl Honda transmissions are rock-solid.

Re: I find it interesting [marsha7]
that when I bought my 1986 Legend, the V6 put out 165 HP, which was more than the Ford 302 of that year, and the Legend seemd rather quick when compared to my 1983 Grand Marquis whose 302 put out 130 HP... Now the Accord 4 cyl puts out 190 HP, 25 more than my V6 of 1988... Shoot, the Honda Accord in 1997 had 170 horses, and that was before ... Read More

Re: 1997 honda accord [stephnee]
I've never heard of automatic door locks on an older Accord either. They really locked on their own when you started driving?? Perhaps someone could have added them aftermarket, although I've never heard of that either. I suppose anything is possible. ;)

Re: 1997 honda accord [thegraduate]
It's US. We bought it from someone like 2 and half years ago and it was like that when we bought it!

Re: 1997 honda accord [stephnee]
I've never heard of any pre-2008 Honda having auto-door locks. My 2006 EX doesn't have them, and neither does my 1996 Accord (which would be the same as a 1997). Is yours a US/Canadian Accord?

1997 honda accord
I have a 1997 Honda Accord. About a week and a half ago my battery died. My friend jumped it and all was fine. Except before it died my doors would automatically lock when I started the car, and automatically unlock when I turned off the car. Now it won't do that anymore. Is there anyway to get it back to it's normal routine? Thanks!

Brakes with too much play/spongy
Hi all, I have a Honda Accord 1997 with 202000 miles on it (Auto, 4cyl) that seems to have spongy brake. Every time I step on it I feel like I am going to hit the floor. Is this a known issue and if not what needs to be done about it? Thanks. P.S. I recently changed my disk pads and shoes.
