Re: 1999 Honda Accord Coupe LX with V6 Engine is Overheating... [riffraff]
If the overheating is only at low speed or idle than you have an AIR circulation problem, not a coolant circulation problem--so it seems like this is about the cooling fans, not the thermostat, radiator, water pump, etc.

1999 Honda Accord Coupe LX with V6 Engine is Overheating...
Car started overheating at idle or in traffic this past Spring and I can't figure out how to get it to stop. Replaced the stock Honda thermostat with an autoparts store thermostat. Also replaced the thermostat sensor with an autoparts store sensor. Basically, as far as the sensor and thermostat goes, I used local autoparts store parts, instead of Honda parts. The fans don't come on. The drivers side fan will ... Read More

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: 2005 vs 2006 -- which to pick? [igozoomzoom]
Thank you for the very detailed response! I am afraid that based on the shortages of new Hondas now due to the tsunami's destruction that used Accords are going to be even more of a scarcity. But your description of the advantages of the 2006 do make it seem worth holding out for. I totally agree about the tail lights looking better, although I think the car overall doesn't look as ...

Re: If you are being "Beaten" by your Honda. [blufz1]
Did something similar way back on a parents 1999 Accord LX-V6. Ditched the V rated Bridgestone Turanza tires for Goodyear Integrity 2 tires (IIRC they were T rated). Going to the non-speed rated tires allows a softer tire, with the less sharp handling and the longer wear. Of course the lack of the V speed rating means not going over a sustained 112 MPH with the T rated replacements....IIRC the 99 ... Read More

Re: Accord v-6 tranny 2006 [thegraduate]
I'm not surprised that you've not had any trannie problems. It was in the years 1999 through and including 2001 that Honda trannie problems surfaced. The reason given by a Honda dealer is that Honda farmed out the transmission manufacturing to a Japanese vendor during the years mentioned above. As a result of poor quality, Honda returned to in-house manufacturing. Hence the transmission recalls.

Re: 1999 Honda Accord Brake Problems NEED HELP PLEASE [rickytz7111]
Normally I'd suspect the front calipers need replaced, but you indicate the wheels spin easily after brakes applied. Do a similar test with the rear brakes, but also make sure the brakes are applying when you press the pedal. Perhaps you have a proportioning valve problem where the rear brakes aren't applying, and the fronts are forced to do all of the stopping..

Re: 1999 Honda Accord Brake Problems NEED HELP PLEASE [rickytz7111]
Has your brake fluid ever been changed? My guess is after a fair amount of braking, the water absorbed into the fluid over time starts to boil. When the fluid starts to boil, it expands causing the calliper to close on the brake disk, over heating everything. After the car has been sitting, the fluid has cooled, the calliper releases again, and the wheel will spin freely. If your brake fluid ... Read More

Re: 1999 honda accord leaking oil around the plug. [mymadelynn]
Also how often must the timing belt be changed. For the 4-cylinder, every 105k miles. For the V6, I want to say 60k, but I could be wrong on this one. I'm positive about the 4-cyl though. I got quotes ranging from $475 to $750 to replace the belts and water pump on my 1996 Accord (you should replace the water pump when you do the timing belt).

1999 honda accord leaking oil around the plug.
First the honda seemed to have a little oil around the plug when dh went to change it the last time. We also notice some oil around the #3 spark plug. Made an appointment for Thursday but wondering what we should be expecting. Also how often must the timing belt be changed. I can't find the bill from last time but I think it was around 150K. It has 243k on ... Read More

Accord Engine Dies While driving then starts up
My 1999 Accord runs great but the engine has started quiting while I'm driving. It doen't matter how fast I'm going. The electrical stays on and doesn't dim but the engine and power quits. It's manual but won't restart by poping the clutch. It restarts, although it seems like it's getting harder to restart. It's only just started doing this in the past week. I'm planning on taking it to the ... Read More

2008 Maxima vs 2008 Honda Accord
After doing lots of research on both the 2008 Maxima SE and Honda Accord EX-L V6, we decided on the 2008 Maxima SE. Why: The 2008 Accord is a nice car but we did not like the following: Not much pickup from a standing start for a V6, the Maxima has alot more getup and go, the rear seats do not fold down on the Honda, the Maxima has 60/40 split, ...

Re: Edmunds' Editors-for-a-Day speak out [backy]
I used to think that, several years ago. I used to think that every Toyota and Honda, whether it was a brand-new design or a mature model, would have stellar reliability. And they did. But then things changed, e.g. 1999 Odyssey... 2001 Civic... Sludge on Toyota engines... 2003 Accord... 2007 Camry. All of these had significant problems. Since I own one of those 03 Accords (51k miles), I would like to ... Read More

Accord Not What it used to be
Allow me to preface my comments saying that I LOVE Hondas. I've owned 5 Honda cars since 1999. I've never had an ounce of mechanical trouble with any of them. I currently drive an '06 Ridgeline and my wife drove an '04 Accord until recently. Ok- have I convinced you that I'm a fan of Honda? Today I had my first opportunity to ride in an '08 Accord EX sedan (4cylinder). ... Read More

99 Accord - dash (rpm, speed, mileage) not working
I brought my car, 1999 Honda Accord, in to a mechanic to have a power steering fluid leak fixed. They also changed the oil. At the mechanics, the odometer stopped displaying. As well, the speed, rpm etc. (the entire dashboard) is not working at all. At least I should say, the dashboard was displaying when I brought the car in but when I picked it up, the mechanic told me he ... Read More

Climate Control panel switch not working
I have 1999 Honda Accord. Recently, the buttons on the Climate control panel stopped working. The round knobs controlling air flow into the car and the temperature are fine.

Would like to find out if there is a fuse or an electrical component controlling ... Read More

Re: Ugly and expensive [rlyon]
$30k for an Accord is silly. This is one of the most ridiculous arguments. First, why give the car a truck grill? The grill absolutely kills the front end. What truck grill? First of all, there is no “car or truck” grill. As a matter of fact, almost 8-10 years ago, one of my points in these boards was that Honda should adopt a grill that helps establish a family theme. ... Read More

Re: 190 HP versions [robertsmx]

Re: Accord diesel for 2009 [captain2]
That's an entirely different argument - whether the computer should be making these decisions for us. The original assertion was that it only sent torque to the rear if slippage was detected and that's not true. I'm sure Ford is losing a few sales over lack of SC in the Fusion. But that doesn't mean they're behind the curve from a technology standpoint. SC was available in 1999 on the Lincoln ... Read More

Re: Most Wanted Re: the meaning of zoom-zoom [aviboy97]
While I quoted JD power and do look at CR ratings, I only take them for what they are. New buyers may not buy into Camry's reputation based on that, but for repeat buyers (or buyers with history based on experiencence from friends and family) those numbers don't tell the story. I started with a used 1982 Supra-Celica. It held up well, virtually guaranteeing my next purchased to be a Toyota. ... Read More

Re: Most Wanted Re: the meaning of zoom-zoom [louiswei]
the fusion's handling is nothing to write home about. It is marginally better than my mom's 1999 Camry but worse than the 2007 Camry SE I had on my last trip and much worse than my old 1997 Honda Accord. According to many authors, they feel the Fusion SEL AWD handles better. Like I said, C&D's artice trally sticks out in my mind. I have driven a Fusion, and it does ... Read More

99 honda accord sensor locations
I'm having the engine on my 1999 Honda Accord 4 cylinder sedan replaced (turns out it had a blown head gasket when I bought it and the engine had been seriously abused. Just easier to replace it.)

The Honda dealership/maintenance guys say that yes, it ... Read More

Re: '07 vs '08 [colloquor]
I think the definition of Korean copy is more along the lines of copying the look. For example, take the new Elantra. Do you see a strong resemblance to VW Jetta’s rear? Or, is that style somehow an evolution of older Hyundai design? In case of new Accord, the association is largely with two design elements. One the upward tapering of the tail lamps, but that is a contemporary design feature. ... Read More

Might be the P6MI relay under the dash.

Only happens during the summer when it gets somewhat hot outside. Never a problem during the Winter. If this sounds like your problem.

Sometimes it stalls at a stop sign or when backing out of a parking space. No problem starting the car in the morning but have a problem with engine dying after engine is warmed up. Any solutions?

Re: Honda Accord or Honda Civic with 4cyl or 6cyl [scottm123]
You still didn't really answer my question (I'm assuming it's a Generation 6 model 1999-2001 or so if your Accord was bought new 7 years ago) If so, that's 150 horsepower (about 145 if you go by the new SAE testing procedures for hp). The new Accord EX has 45 more horses (for a total of 190), an extra gear in the transmission, and i-Vtec (more flexible than the basic Vtec ... Read More

Re: take your pick! [robertsmx]
Honda’s product growth was based on success, with emphasis on quality over quantity. Sales followed. Most small companies tend to offer too many products in too little time, instead of focusing on core products. Honda’s approach was the opposite. It looks to me like Hyundai is emulating Honda. They started with one model, the Excel. They added their second model, the Sonata, four years later. Then their third, the Elantra, after ... Read More
