    Originally Posted by Market525 You didn't say how many miles are on your Accord. These engines, while very reliable as a rule, can have issues if basic maintenance is neglected. The VTEC system has two very fine "mesh" screens that tend to sludge up if the oil changes are neglected. One is...

    Yeah, we're starting to see more new vehicles in the shop I work at with the new refrigerant. It required a whole new evacuation machine and the refrigerant is over $700 per tank. And it's less than half the size of the 30lb R134A tanks.

    Originally Posted by WagonWheel I put a AutoZone Duralast Gold (new) alternator when mine went out on the ‘03 Accord.

    Originally Posted by WagonWheel What is the battery voltage under high electric load? A/C blower fan on max, bright lights on & rear defroster.

    2003 Accord. Whirring noise and oil light

    I'm thinking it's the switch. My thinking is that when the cyl head is cold everything is nice and tight. As it warms up the head expands and it leaks oil around that switch. After a thorough drive today I put a big piece of clean cardboard under the car. Sure enough there was oil drops in exact...

    I replaced the capacitor today. I believe it was a 5/35 per the factory spec. The old one wasn't bulged but very rusty. It was an affordable swap so figured I'd give it a shot. The fan was not running at all with the new capacitor. The wiring from the fan motor looks good. As do all the connections.

    My outdoor heat pump fan won't come on. When unit is off, the fan spins freely with a push of a paint stick. When on AC the fan binds up and won't push start. I already replaced the capacitor. I'm thinking I may need a new fan motor. It's an old unit but works great (other then the current fan...

    2003 Accord. Whirring noise and oil light

    OK, so I've narrowed down the Whirring sound to the alternator. It has a lifetime warranty. I already have that getting swapped on Monday. I took it for a drive this morning. When cold, the oil light is off. Once warmed up it comes on and stays on. I'm having the pressure test done on Monday as...

    2003 Accord. Whirring noise and oil light

    Ok, so my daughter has a 2003 Accord with the 2.4L VTEC 4 cyl engine. A few months ago her oil Pressure Switch went bad and I replaced it. The old one was causing the oil lamp to stay on. The replacement switch took care of that. BUT....now the lamp is back on as of last night, and there is a...

    Any HR specialists out there?

    But those are for being sick. Not placed on light duty. That's her thinking on it as well. I think the fear is she'll be a target if she files a workers comp claim.

    Deducting lost value of home

    OK so this is a new one to me. A guy I know recently had his home appraised. The appraisal came in over $100k less then he paid for it. This is his and his spouses primary residence. So they get their taxes done and the tax preparer tells them they can claim it all as a tax deduction because...

    Thoughts on my crazy Winter oil change ideas.

    I used to try all the higher end oils for various reasons, for many years. Even did my share of Frankenbrews. After all of that and all of the reading on here I've been on a diet of NAPA synthetic and purolator filters for a few years now. Simple, cheap, and reliable protection in all climates.
