Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Bought: Accord LX-S coupe auto in Austin/San Antonio, TX

Written by: bacchuswng on Jul 12, 2008 00:28 PM

After reading everyone's discussions and asking some questions of my own, I figured I'd chip in on my own experiences. I was shopping in the Austin/San Antonio/Round Rock areas, and I ended up buying a red ext./black int. automatic Accord LX-S coupe for $21,200 pre-TTL; after a $3,000 "trade-in" (Drive Clean Across Texas voucher program) and TTL, it came out ...

Honda 1993, performance problem

Written by: readingteacher on Jul 12, 2008 10:46 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 ... 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..... Read More...

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. Read More...

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 ... Read More...

Of course, I tested the old battery before replacing it. They say it is bad. But having a new battery did not fix the problem. I went back to Autozone. They tested the new battery and alternator. Both are fine. They did not know what still cause this, as the problem still exist. The battery location seems fine along with the connections (nothing loose). So the problem ... Read More...

The battery location seems fine along with the connections (nothing loose). So the problem is not from the alternator, could be the Starter? 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 ... Read More...
