    want to paint the rims

    IMO Wash them, very, very well! Scuff ALL of them with Scotchbrite purple Paint, skip primer, twice, 1st= light/medium coat, 2nd= full coat, 4 wheels = 1 can (usually) Done, plan on a repaint when you need new tires

    Wheels/Tires

    They should fit, but your speedometer may be off. Use one of the GPS speedo aps on your phone and see/post what it says now. What is the actual gps speed at 60mph indicated on the speedo, on stock tires? My car is lowered a lot, I think, and my tires should be 215/40-18 but I have 215/45 to...

    Code P0505 With a Strange AfterMath

    The diaphagm tears. Pop the line at the booster, plug the line. Test, do NOT drive! Better, right?

    EVAP CEL code and cannot fill up fuel tank

    The valve shuts off the gas when it builds pressure. So it doesn't vent. But you have a leak. That code says it's chacoal canister, so I'd start there. Look for obvious damage. Can you respond with the 4 digit codes &/or full code descriptions?

    Code P0505 With a Strange AfterMath

    When it happens because you press the brakes, booster. Not the lines.

    Will this rims fit my 2001 sedan accord?

    Please do not call the wheel a rim. A wheel has a rim, but it is not what you call the whole thing.

    Intermittent heat: works when it wants too

    You can see the heater core box under the dashboard. Measure the temp of that and the radiator with th heat set on max when it works and doesn't.

    Brakes in front grabbing

    A sound like that may be runout. So check the thickness at ~8 places around the rotor, and runout.

    Engine sputters and stalls on startup then runs fine

    Lets wait on cleaning the IACV. We've tried every angle I know of. If you were in Florida I'd tell you to bring it by my house because I'm so frustrated with it.

    Oh, no. Ours is built in stock. I don't know what my added one is from, or care :D

    2000 Accord, and under the armrest door is an extra thing. That's it, go look in your garage :p

    The big fat one that goes from the intake manifold to the booster.

    1157 Switchback led bulbs

    Uh... A bulb like that has 4 wires. 2 are ground, so the contact has a contact for each that connects both to ground. The other end has left for one, right for the other. That is the ones you flip.

    oil change / auto trans fluid change / misc..

    I also did this: The stock coin holder thing sucked, so I screwed in a new one. In the top pic I'm pointing at a little panel thing, anyone know what that is for?

    oil change / auto trans fluid change / misc..

    Here I wiped the engine's dipstick on a paper towel, under 'E'. I wiped the trans under 'T' but you can't see it well, so there's a pic of it draining. This is the darkest the oil or ATF should look! This is at about 12 months & 7,000 miles since I changed them both last time. It will take your...

    Engine sputters and stalls on startup then runs fine

    I'm still thinkin the IACV is gunked up. Unhook the vacuum line from the brake booster. You are basically creating a vacuum leak. Start it, does it still stall? Do NOT drive like this!

    Engine sputters and stalls on startup then runs fine

    Open up the old one. They can be opened without damaging them! The problem is cracked solder joints, so look at all of them, the cracks are easy to see. They are easy to fix, too. I have before. I did not know this was still an issue, the only time I saw it was a 1G Acura Legend. I have heard...

    Engine sputters and stalls on startup then runs fine

    If the light never comes on it, may not be working. Coming on when you start the car is a self-test kinda thing. They all do that. It's so that you can see that it works.

    Need some advice on rims and wheels.

    IDK, my inner fenderwells are scarred to hell! If you go 235 check your tire height. You may need /40 or something. Yes, my current tires are taller than they should be, but I wanted the change.

    Engine sputters and stalls on startup then runs fine

    What?? 'out'? It's a light, 'on', or 'off'.

    Ect code cam on after car overheated

    Lets see if I'm half right... Some cars have a coolant temp switch, for the fan, and a sensor, for the ECM. Ours has one, just a sensor, and the ECM controls the fan. I can't remember this for *sure*. I work on too many cars :p I'd need a wiring diagram, but I'm busy right now :p
