    another fix: ac condenser fan

    Cat stolen!

    Oh chit! Sorry my dude! The cheapest fix (if out of pocket) is to get your own aftermarket cat (perhaps from Rockauto) and have someone weld it on. I should take a class in mig welding haha! Remember in CA and NY and a few other states, the legal cat needs to be CARB compliant. (But I do know...

    Cat stolen!

    Update: Got it done on May 19th. CEL didnt go away for 15 miles so I cleared it myself but took about 50 miles for the ALL CLEAR. This car has taken a lot and won't back down! The front O2 sensor wasn't too bad to get out but I decided to change that too so new walker (carb compliant) cat and 2...

    Cat stolen!

    RR, Thanks!! We do have a garage to park and will start doing so. This car has been thru a lot the past year or so with so many things breaking and now this. There was a leak at the flanges (leading to a moderately loud rumble when driving around 40-70mph) so hopefully when this gets patched up...

    Cat stolen!

    Hey Thanks! Turns out NY is a carb state so I do need to get a carb compliant converter and I went with a walker from Rock Auto b/c the magnaflow would have cost a few hundreds more. I did find a guy who will weld the part in but any registered mech/shop in NY will not install/weld a non carb...

    Rusted brake lines!

    Update: so yeah turns out the P1456 for me IS the gas cap. I cleared the code with my own scanner and then for about 20 miles the code never returned Sat night but the scanner showed a yellow light, indicating a pending cycle (system not completely done running all its checks). This sunday...

    Rusted brake lines!

    All done! Took most of Thanksgiving day, a little Friday and some Saturday but here is the result: https://imgur.com/a/QPeVUZB -I wasn't 100% done in the video. I need to put back the metal bracket in the rear. It didn't fit so I had to flatten out the metal harness and then zip tie the plastic...

    Rusted brake lines!

    So recently I just replaced the high pressure steering hose bc that was leaking and now I noticed my brake fluid is leaking and it turns out the hard main lines from the front proportion valve to the rear brakes (not sure left or right) are rusted and leaking. Those 2 little lines share a runway...

    power steering high pressure hose

    Job completed! Started Friday at 6 pm and took about 3 hrs but did not finish the job at the time. 1 hr to remove, wasn't too bad. Majority of time (about 2 hrs) was trying to get the flared end back on. It was next to impossible; I almost felt defeated! I don't know if it is b/c I bought an...

    power steering high pressure hose

    Hey RR! Long time, I hope you are doing well! I still have the car (208K miles) but dont drive it as much (been driving an '14 ody for years but this July picked up a kawasaki z400 lol). Last sept did the radiator replacement (fun job lol) and a few month ago rebuild the PS pump (with...

    power steering high pressure hose

    Hello I still have the 2000 3.0 (V6) coupe and things are starting to go and now I have a leak at the power steering high pressure hose (at the crimped part near the pump). I have ordered the sunsong one from amazon but does anyone know if this is a part that I would indeed be better off getting...

    Transmission cooler hoses

    So yesterday 9/16 I got all the parts I needed and put new rubber hoses for PS (including the metal cooler and the 3 relatively accessible ones) The rubber hoses were OEM but NOT the metal cooler bc the OEM is $99-150 so I got an aftermarket (~$14) from RockAuto but that aftermarket doesn't...

    Transmission cooler Pipe C (ATF)

    Hello everyone! So I need to replace the radiator after all these years and saw that the transmission cooler pipe c (ATF) is corroded and rusted (not leaking yet). I've got it out and figure why not replace it. The part isn't expensive but it is on backorder. Does anyone know who might have this...

    abs wheel sensor and the abs light

    I am so stoked right now after fixing the damn ABS light. The 2000 accord coupe has about 201k miles (not my DD anymore). Anyways I ordered two standard motors rear ABS sensors (ALS802 and ALS800) from rockauto, who delivered them so freaking fast haha. The night I installed them the damn ABS...

    odometer lCD all gone

    Hi I was trying to replace the clock light bulb and yes I should have disconnected the negative battery cable but I didn't idiotly and as I was putting the light bulb in, noticed a spark. I'm guessing a fuse must have blown. The odometer backlight works but all the LCD readings are gone. Anyone...

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    The trunk key lock cylinder won't turn with my key. I was thinking about getting a new part and having it coded but when I took it out, I tried using lubricating oils etc but that didn't work. So I said WTH, lets have a locksmith look at it and he fixed it. Not exactly sure what he did but it...

    Oil Leak Coming From Oil Pressure Switch, Spool Valve, or Oil Pan?

    I replaced both 13 and 16. They weren't too bad. I don't believe you have to drain the oil. The top of my engine oil filter housing had been collecting oil, very slowly but after both of those were replaced it stopped. I think I still might have a tiny bit of oil leak somewhere else as there is...

    FYI-G87P paint

    Sorry I don't post a lot of pics and photobucket now requires paying or some crap like that. I might get into flickr or something else. But for now not really. My iphone even took a crap last week lol and I lost all my stuff on it (not that it was super important stuff anyways.) I might get...

    FYI-G87P paint

    Hi just wanted to share with everyone about my paint journey. The clearcoat I think had been peeling off the roof (or maybe oxidizing) so last year I decided to order some OEM paint from automotivetouchup. I was going to sand the top down and repaint and reclearcoat. Honestly I don't think I did...

    Heat-Soak Issue... a solution.

    Yep very nice write up. I had saw a different post maybe from a different site where someone also did that. Or was it this forum and IIRC i PMed the guy if it was a permanent fix and he never got back. I think his name is jester or something. Nevertheless I just decided to live with it for now.
