    1999 Honda Accord LX no crank/no start

    No, it's a different relay. www.gvrdeu.org/Honda FSM/Accord/1998-2002 Accord FSM/1998-2002 Honda Accord SM.pdf Page 4-3 (69 of 1695)

    1999 Honda Accord LX no crank/no start

    Oh, you can bypass the starter relay by jumpering the two black/white wires together at the connector, but this will not energize the ECU connector. I suspect that this is used to force the fuel pump to spin up to give fuel pressure for starting, but I haven't checked.

    1999 Honda Accord LX no crank/no start

    Troubleshooting your starting system with a multimeter. 1. Voltage drops. Check for a voltage across components. If you put a voltmeter on both sides of a component or connector, there should be little or no voltage registered if the part is conducting efficiently. Do this over any suspect...

    Fumoto Oil Drain Valve

    These usually work quite well over time. For me, this is something that is only useful though if you are committing to changing your oil much more often, while it's still clear and clean when you drain it. People I know who use these will go to an autocross event or track day, change the oil...

    alternator

    Alternators should never produce more current than is needed by the electrical system. Provided that the alternator is working correctly, it shouldn't be a problem at any engine speed that doesn't cause other engine problems. For sound systems, people get high output alternators, which can be...

    Using Stock Headunit

    In general, I recommend that you go to a shop and listen to a set of speakers. Find ones that will fit in the car as is, and go with that. Do be aware that your car is a much worse environment than the demo board at the shop, so you may not get the same performance as you get n the shop, but...

    Using Stock Headunit

    I used to build a lot of audio systems. Most aftermarket speakers will claim to handle a lot of power, but for the most part, those numbers are pure marketing crap. The number that you're looking for is sensitivity. You want something from 87-91 dB at 1W/1m. Some speakers are measured at 2.83V...

    NGK ignition upgrade gains?

    Well, you MIGHT gain something, but that means that you were losing performance with the old wires. Replacing good stock wires with good new NGKs gains nothing, except maybe a longer expected service life before you have to do it again. I suppose that adequately upgraded plug wires might allow...

    Auto Climate controller issues

    First things first, check for something that might be jamming things from moving. I had a car that I found a mouse nest in the heater core box. The mice in it were more or less cooked and dried out when I opened the box, which was disgusting, but that was the cause for restricted air flow...

    Can the rear window be modded to roll all the way down?

    Anything can be done with enough money... But the rear doors are shaped to go around the rear wheel wells, and as such, there is not enough room in there to roll the window down further.

    Cold brake pedal

    In all seriousness, there's definitely a problem, unless you're using full race brake pads, which themselves need to be hot in order to work well. Check that your brake booster isn't leaking vacuum. You can try pressing the brake pedal to the floor repeatedly with the engine off. This will...

    no crank. no start problem.

    Get a multimeter. Okay, so you get no crank. Follow the power. 1. Do you get lights when you turn on the ignition? If you do, the battery is at least mostly okay. If the clock doesn't lose the time when you try to crank it (Assuming that you get no crank at all, and not just slow cranking)...

    Odd wiper electrical symptom

    LOL. Nope. I still need to pull the bottom of the dash out and look at all of the connections. I can make the wipers go, so it's not a safety issue, and I've got plenty of other things on my plate. if I had somewhere specific to look, I'd probably bump it up in priority, but without something...

    In depth audio questions, pros please help

    if you pull the amp from the CRV system, then that's the best solution, and won't require any other aftermarket things. It should also plug in just fine to the factory wiring. I would probably avoid any kind of adapters at this stage, but in general, factory amplifier systems will have a...

    DIY: V6 Hood Damper Installation for 4cyls. (hood struts, lifts, shocks)

    First off, see if you need to. A different corner brace might give a different amount of room, and it may not be necessary to bend so much. If it is necessary, this doesn't need a lot of overthinking, and it can probably be taken care of outside the car. the photos don't appear to have needed...

    What is your real name.

    Well, if we're okay with a 10 year old thread... Dan. This is my first Honda with more than 2 cylinders. I'd rather be driving my Supra, but that's not going to happen in this weather. Waiting for the spring...

    Alarm issues

    I would never recommend disabling the alarm, however a malfunctioning alarm is worse than not having one. There will be a switch in the door near the key cylinder, which is used to disarm the alarm. The switch is usually a simple ground switch that lets the anti-theft computer know that the...

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    When driving a "nice car" I don't really care who parks next to me, but I do rather hate it when I park well away from the entrance, in the middle of an empty lot and a couple of SUVs are parked all around me when I'm done. Even more so, when they're parked close enough to be a serious risk of...

    99 EX won't warm up

    Possibly a bad thermostat. The thermostat is supposed to impede coolant flow to the radiator when the water temperature is low. If it's not doing its job, and allowing the water to flow constantly, then it's going to take a long time before the system has any heat.

    A lot of white noise in the cabin

    There are a lot of places to get noise. By the time you hear wheel bearings, you're looking at a bunch of other problems, typically. I find that the interior fan is quite loud in my Accord. Places to check first is exhaust, since that's a major source of noise. It could also be tire road...

    Suggestions and general info, please?

    Part of it depends on what you want the car to do most of the time. If you want a race car, you'd better learn to fix it. Racing and paying someone else to do your maintenance work is going to get really pricey really fast. Given that you seem to have done a fair amount of racing already, you'd...

    Cluster &a Windows fuse issue

    Okay, looking at the service manual, page 22-90, the back up lights take power from that fuse, going through a relay. There is a green/white wire that goes to the back-up lights, and will go through pretty much the length of the chassis. The relay itself should be internal to the fuse box, so...

    Dash gas and temperature needle help

    Most likely you have a loose connection, and depending on where that loose connection is, a new cluster may not be very helpful. Most of these instruments work by supplying voltage, and having a ground through the instrument sender. There is zero chance that your fuel and temperature senders...

    Odd wiper electrical symptom

    So this has been sort of a thing with my Accord. With the current weather it's been more of a thing. My wiper switch is acting strange. If I turn on the wipers to intermittent, they will sometimes not come on at all, until I hit the washer pump. I usually need only hit that for a moment, and...

    Cluster &a Windows fuse issue

    When the washer pump engages, the wipers shouldn't stop. I'd want more information as to when the fuse blows. Do the wipers have anything to do with blowing the fuse? As I said, I'm not too familiar with the Honda electrical system. In my Toyotas, the power windows have a circuit breaker...
