    Lugging at Higher RPMs

    Just an update in case anyone else comes searching with a similar problem in the future. As part of the work that had been done on the engine previous to this issue, the distributor & wires had been replaced. One of those parts was defective and causing misfires. I probably threw everyone...

    Lugging at Higher RPMs

    Before the breakdown/repair, the engine wouldn't shudder under slight acceleration at 5th gear / 45mph / 1800rpm (e.g. the type of acceleration that would take me 45-50mph in 4-5 seconds. Slight.). Now it does. The car physically shakes. The only way to avoid that is to never push down the...

    Lugging at Higher RPMs

    Modulated power loss, plus a back-and-forth shudder that is very obvious. Eventually, when the RPMs climb north of 2000, that effect dies down. You know how, if you're crawling along in first and brake to come to a complete stop but don't ever disengage the transmission by pushing in the...

    Lugging at Higher RPMs

    2000 EX, manual transmission, i4 engine...previous owner installed 4-2-1 headers and a cold air intake. A check engine light came on and the engine shuddered to a stop (and wouldn't restart) last week. I took it to a shop where they read the codes and fixed the problem (some seals near the...

    Help with nice, clean installation of XM radio + iPod

    So my Accord has a Pioneer DEH-M8600MP head unit which has one (1) aux input (technically the CD changer input). I'm trying to figure out how to: - combine both the XM radio audio output and iPod audio output into one input - get power to at least the XM radio, if not the iPod as well -...

    Miami Meet

    I'm new to Accord (less than two weeks) and have never been that much of a car person...trying to learn everything I can now. I'm in Melbourne, FL and might be down for a trip to Miami. Obviously it depends on timing. Maybe a dumb question - what happens at meets?

    Bosch Icon Wipers

    Almost every car I've driven, I've been unhappy with the wiper blades. First thing I did to my new Accord was put these guys on. Very happy camper now!

    DIY SCS Service Connector and SRS Reset

    Great guide. I ended up just using a paperclip, but the drawing on the first post is better than any other pics I could find. Turns out I'd been trying to short circuit the wrong yellow connector...fyi, for those who are going to try this, it's the smaller of the two - it's pretty clear in the...

    Removing Front Center Interior Trim Panel (below radio)

    Hey thanks guys - I managed to get it off yesterday thanks to some of the comments. The glove box was being stubborn so I ended up accidentally breaking off one of the plastic clips that holds it in! But there's still 7 of the original 8 screws to hold it in so no biggie. Finally go the...

    Help me - mismatched headlights

    After doing some further research, I found out that "20-5119" is the OEM part number; the passenger headlight is an OEM part. It's listed under that part name in the Autozone parts directory and I had two different mechanics tell me it was OEM. This simply means I need a new driver-side OEM...

    Help me - mismatched headlights

    I just bought my car a week ago...and the headlights are severely mismatched. There's a sticker on the front bumper that says it was replaced in Nov 2007, so i'm guessing it was a minor fender-bender and only one headlight needed to be replaced. Anyways, below are the pics: can anyone help me...

    Help fixing / refinishing scratched, blotchy OEM aluminum tires

    These are my current wheels. I don't have the cash to buy a new set, so I'm trying to figure out what my options are to refinish these rims. How new could I get them to look? What can I do? (The greenish tint on the top two is an optical illusion from grass reflections...)

    Removing Front Center Interior Trim Panel (below radio)

    I'm trying to change my A/C in-cabin filters, a process that involves removing the glove box. There are three screws that hold the trim below the glove box in place: two in the passenger side fuse box and one underneath the front center interior trim panel (the one below the double-din radio...

    DIY LED clock light (w/ pics)

    With the help of this stellar thread, I just successfully replaced a dead OEM fuse with a nice bright blue one from RadioShack (Motto: You've got questions, so do we). My LED of choice was 5mm 3.7V 20mA with brightness of 2600mcd and 50% angle of 30 degrees. I paired it with a 470-ohm...
