Overheating issue pin-pointed...Accord over heating? Slap your Radiator Fan Motor and it fires right up. lol (at least in my case) The American way...hit it hard and it works. :patriot:

New one being ordered.



You can just get a new motor and swap that out. If that's the only issue with it. I did that for mine a while back and it wasn't too bad to do it. Pro tip: while you got the fan assembly out spray some low pressure water through the rad fins to clean it out. You should try to spray from the engine compartment OUTWARD towards the front of the car. Also between the two fin assemblies (looking vertically down) you might see plenty of debris just hanging out. I ended up just picking it out with a bamboo skewer and it dropped off in chunks then I just lightly sprayed with water downward. I actually did the cleaning a week after swapping out the motor on the rad fan cuz it was still overheating. Nothing like the AC cutting out on a hot day at red light. The cleaning did the trick. Hmmmm....I think that's what I will do later today with my Accord.

Stopped by my local dealership during lunch to get some brake fluid and oil filter. Before leaving, I asked the guy behind the counter if he had any weatherstripping for lip kits. While he went through the database, I noticed they also had the 98-00 coupe front lips listed as being available in some colors. He said he would have to order them. I was surprised....do they actually have excess in a warehouse somewhere?

I also asked about a 7.0gen sedan front lip in NHBP and it looks like he can hook it up and order one too. But I have a feeling once he places an order, it's just gonna bounce back saying it is not available.

.....surprised to hear of that at a dealer...usually the actual parts list itself is updated to exclude out of stock items.
