    1998 V6 Coupe no start, clicking from main relay, transmission shift solenoids.

    Hello everyone. Not really urgent, but it's a no start, so I guess this is the place. Car in question is a 1998 V6 Coupe with 266k km on it. I last drove it in November after putting a transmission in it, and it ran perfectly fine then. The battery went completely dead over the winter, and I...

    Something electrical and strange happened to Connie on the way to work today.

    I was coming down the 400 this morning, going about 120ish, when all the traffic stopped, as it does quite regularly. Slammed on the brakes and stopped, safe following distance for the win! Anyways, as I was sitting there stopped waiting for the traffic to start moving again, Connie was...

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    Well, I now own 5 6th gen Accords..... Last week I picked up a 98 V6 Coupe for $350 because "it needs a tranny". FWIW, it has had a junkyard tranny installed in the last few thousand km, and PO said "it's doing the same thing as the last transmission did" again. I have a 98 Sedan I picked up a...

    Suddenly Running HOT

    Last few weeks the cooling fan has been running for a few minutes, I'd say 5ish min after shutting the car off. Up until today I've not been worrying about it because the guage has been rock solid in the 2/3 location like always. Today it got unseasonably warm, and the guage moved. I've...

    Complete bushing kit availability?

    After driving my new to me old lady driven 2000 coupe, I realized how worn-out and ruined the suspension bushings are on my 2002 coupe. It's literally night and day between the two cars. The control arms, tie rod ends, and struts are in ok condition and have no play, as I have had them all...

    External Transmission Solenoids Questions

    Car is a 2002 V6 Coupe with 467k km. Transmission has about 400k km. Curious as to some issues I've been having with my transmission. I have 2 spare transmissions; so worst case I swap the whole transmission, but I was wondering if the solenoids on top of the bell housing (that look like they...

    Midnight, 2000 EX-V6 Coupe (56K)

    I picked this thing up a few weeks ago for the princely sum of $800. It had been sideswiped and has damage on the passenger side fender, and the passenger side mirror was missing, and it leaked gas (tank) and power steering fluid (return line @ rack). Other than that, it's in excellent shape...

    How to replace the gas tank, the easy way with pics!

    Constantly going through wheel bearings.

    My original wheel bearings were in the car when I bought it 4 years ago with 141000km. They lasted until almost 200000km before the fronts started rumbling and the abs light came on, pretty reasonable mileage for this in my opinion. I removed the hubs, and had new bearings pressed in. 50000km...

    V6 Emergency Brakes Sticking On.

    I have this problem ONLY when the weather is cold (less than -5 degrees C/25 degrees F) This is the only automatic car I have owned in the last 5 years, and the habit of putting the emergency brake on every time I park the car is not something I am going to be able to break. When it is...

    Connie, a 2 year 280,000km love affair. Time for an upgrade?

    I met Connie a little over 2 years ago. She was hidden inside of a snowbank and hadn't moved for 3 or 4 years. Her owner was leaving town, and was making a last-ditch effort to sell her before sending her to the scrapyard. Apparently, he said, because she needed a head gasket. $600 and...
