    Coolant Pressure cap V6

    I had replaced the radiator last year (SEP 2013) as it was leaking around the top manifold. Used an Autozone radiator and after a few hours it was done. Today, the son in law brings the car over for an oil change and popping the hood revealed a bunch of white spray over the battery, that we had...

    V6 occasional stuttering

    I did do a search and found quite a few threads on this topic but it seems like there is no real solution??? Our V6 has just over 110K, is in stock form and has developed an occasional stutter when pulling away at low speed. This will happen after the choke is off and is usually when I pull...

    2000 V6 Headlight Installation

    The headlights plastic cover had faded to yellow a while ago. I tried one of those headlight restoration kits, which didn't work very well, took quite a bit of effort and they were back to the same or worse condition about 6 months later. Rock Auto has those parts at quite a reasonable price...

    DIY Window Regulator - Power, Front

    The car is 12 years old now and this is the 3rd time a regulator has had to be replaced. Perhaps it's the hot weather in Phoenix doing it or the unsuitable materials the parts are made of. Anyway, here is a pictorial of how to do it.

    Manual Fuel Injector Cleaning V6

    Our V6 Accord has a little over 100K miles on it and I was in the process of trying to stop a leak from the power steering pump (taking it apart and replacing seals) when I decided to take the fuel injectors out to see if they could be cleaned. On the V6, I needed to take the intake manifold off...

    Front overhead light - quick fix

    So 2 hours before my daughter needs the car to back to college (and on a sunday), we discover the drivers side front overhead light is stuck on and the switch isn't toggling. While she is packing up her stuff, I take the assembly out 1. small flat bladed screwdriver in the front of the lens -...

    Power Steering Hose Replacement - V6

    This turned out to be a nasty little job. No wonder Autozone and the like do not carry this part. Napa carries a hose for the 4cyl, not the V6. Anyway, the main pressure line started leaking when my daughter brought the car down from college and I needed the car for a wedding. I thought it...

    Power steering hose leak - V6

    Did a search and found 2 threads, one sort of related. The manual is not very helpful when it comes to explaining how to replace the power steering hose - which is leaking in the rubber/steel connection at the pump - It looks like a real pain to do. Put the car up on ramps and can't see...

    2000 V6 Valve adjustment

    Very similar to the I4 adjustment, but takes a bit longer and the 3 cylinders in the back will give you a bit of stress. The book says not to do this till 105K miles, which is silly. I did the first check at 45K and they were way off. The photobucket link will take you to pictures and text I...

    V6 Engine Mounts

    So, a while ago, I replaced the 2 gearbox mounts (1 was torn off the other half torn off) and the side engine mount - it had leaked fluid over the support - I had wondered where that had come from. I put OEM mounts back in, not knowing if there were better ones to be had. (oh well) Question...

    Wiper Switch Replacement

    The intermitant speed part of the wiper switch (the bit you turn at the end) became very hard to turn for some reason. So I figured I would just replace the switch. The on-line price didn't seem too bad (compared to the national debt) and the manual said I only needed to take out a few screws...

    RichBinAZ logging in

    After seeing all the registered complaints (over 900) on the NHTSA website, I figured it would be a good idea to log on officially here to receive and share info on problems and fixes with our 2000 V6, that gets about 10K miles per year. It's not what I would call the most reliable car in the...
