    CEL and Traction Control Indicator Lit

    Traction control light comes on because when there is a misfire, the ECM doesn't have complete control over the engine so it cannot properly control traction so therefore it won't even try. So your only actual issue is the misfire. Checked your bio, you have a 2001 which means you have a coil on...

    Boost/wastegate issue

    Car overheating when stopped

    Yeah, definitely not a bad plan. I would definitely still do those two things though. If nothing else, its preventative maintenance.

    Car overheating when stopped

    Check to see if the radiator is full when the car is cooled down. Then, if that isn't the issue, swap out the thermostat.

    Boost/wastegate issue

    Re: need help... I'm stumped! I'm no expert but a wastegate shouldn't be open unless there is actually boost. A wastegate is what regulates boost. So if you have a turbo that is capable of creating more pressure than you need, being that a turbo is a mechanical device, there will be excess...

    Gas gauge needle acts up...

    I have no idea why the V6 and 4 cyl have different fuel gauges but they do. lol! A lot of the 4 cyl Honda's have the filter high on the back. It is the same filter as V6 though so it should use the same filter wrench. Channel locks will work if nothing else.

    Gas gauge needle acts up...

    Ha! V6 pleb thinking everything is the same on a 4 cylinder! Just messing with you bud! That's normal operation on the 4 cylinder. V6 goes to empty when shut off and goes up quickly. Don't ask why Honda did this though... Haha!

    98 Accord LX dies/shuts off while driving....HELP!

    No. Take note of what your car does when you turn off the key. That is exactly the symptom of a bad ignition switch.

    burst brake line

    No backup on these. best thing you can do is check all your lines to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    broken throttle wire latch

    You'll need to purchase a new throttle body or modify your current one to work. I'm sure you can repair it. This would definitely be a part you would purchase used though.

    P0560

    Verify grounds, check alternator cables and clear the code and try again.

    98 Accord LX dies/shuts off while driving....HELP!

    No, that would be a ignition switch failure.

    Negative battery cable

    Grounds are very important. You should buy a Honda one in my opinion.

    Anyone know how to fix drivers side metal bezel?

    #21 is that white clip, but those are pre-installed on the new trim when you purchase it.

    Overheating Problems....

    Definitely air bubble. Keep working at it. Best thing to do is get a coolant funnel, http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-24680-Spill-Free-Funnel/dp/B00A6AS6LY , and run it till the temp comes up, then turn heat on high and with gloves, squeeze all the coolant hoses.

    Anyone know how to fix drivers side metal bezel?

    It's called a drip molding. You're gonna have to pull that off. It's held on just by those white clips. The new one will snap right in once you remove the old clips. You're gonna have to get it from a dealer. Majestic Honda wouldn't ship me mine.

    ABS Light

    ^ All codes are stored for ABS. There are only two ways to erase the memory, but you can at least find what's going bad and just replace it. Old post I did... http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49045

    Key-In Reminder Warning Chime

    I have the same issue but I think it is because my key is worn. Does it work when you hold the key in a certain way? Try pushing it in and around and see if you can get it at some angle. It works with my spare key no problem.

    98 honda accord NO POWER

    If they don't come on at all, that means nothing is getting power. Check the main battery fuse. It will be a fuse in the underhood fuse box that doesn't look like the rest. Probably screwed down if I recall correctly. Once you find the problem, it is almost 100% going to be a cheap, stupid...

    Hood Gap

    You might not make much progress with 2000. Go easy with the 600. And yeah, I like the idea of the dampers too but I like being able to have my hood completely vertical when needed.

    Hood Gap

    I can't tell which shade that is. Maybe a little bit of sandpaper on the finer side? Also, the V6 hood dampers are over-rated and suck in the cold. And the hood doesn't go nearly as high as it would on the four cylinder. Stick to simplicity!

    Hood Gap

    Very good call on your part. ^ Completely would have overlooked that myself.

    98 honda accord NO POWER

    To get the car started again, I would check all battery cables/grounds followed by all fuses. If you try to turn on the headlights with the car off, do they turn on?

    Location of Sunroof Relays?

    Check for DC volts at the connector going to the sunroof motor. Could be possible the motor is bad. No sense checking voltage everywhere else especially if you don't know what is happening right at the motor. The fact that the relay is clicking is telling me the relay is fine but one of two this...
