Q: Automatic Transmission is slipping on 98 Honda Accord 4 cyl. – How long can I drive it for?
The automatic transmission on my 98 Honda Accord just started a slight slipping when going from a full stop to about 50 Km/hr. It is just a slight 1/4 to 1/2 second pause or drop in power as is shifts. It doesn’t seem to slip at higher speeds when under full power. Can it be driven still or should it be repaired immediately? Does it have to be replaced or is their some simple adjustments that can be made?
A: Get it checked asap it might just be low on fluid and have slight leak. The more you drive the worse it could be if its a simple issue and you drive it you will cost yourself big money.
Q: What should I expect to pay for a 2009 Honda Accord EX?
Fully loaded. I will be paying with a check for the full amount. I want a good deal, without a bunch of time involved. Any suggestions on how to bypass the haggling with a dealer, and get close to the suggested retail price of the Kelly Blue Book? I think dealerships are hurting, and I’d like to get an excellent deal on a Honda Accord.
A: Are you looking for fully loaded or the EX? Are you looking for the 4 or 6 cylinder?
Fully loaded will be an EX-L Navi in either the V6 or the 4 cylinder. This will be as high as you can go without adding any accessories.
I would suggest submitting online inquiries. Dealing with Internet managers is meant to save you time and skip the haggle crap everybody wants to avoid. If you belong to a buying service you could save even more over the internet price.
If you contacted me I would tell you under $26k for the 4 cyl. and under $27 for the V6. Then add tax, tags, title and processing. Both of these cars would have leather, blue tooth and navigation.

Q: How can i make my 2000 honda accord better?
i have a 2000 honda accord ex automatic 4 cyclinder v-tec engine. the car is stock right now but i wanna make it faster and look better. whatever u guys know websites or just info you can give me let me know it would help me out.
A: get some K&N decals and place it all over your honda, it will add +5 each sticker you place. Cut a hole in your muffler and tint your windows green and pant your rims green. That’s other +30. Then put some heavy audio system for traction and a HUGE spoiler to keep the rear wheels on the road even though it’s a fwd car. Then heat up your springs to lower it and add some werid looking headlights and tail lights. Now with all the money you spend, you are 1/2 way closer in beating a mustang GT

I have a 2006 Honda Accord Ex. It has XM and a six disk changer, and no navi system. Besides the $200 dealer installed glove-box hook up, any thoughts on how to play my iPod through the stereo?
A: I found the best thing since sliced bread…http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9oDEWuNVIo6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01
It’s not wireless.
It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch that can used or it can be replaced with a relay powered by the remote wire from the radio (is so equiped).
This is the answer. Totally versatile.

Q: What are some cheap ways to make my 2000 Honda Accord run better and faster?
I have a 2000 Honda Accord and i wanted to know if there were any cheap ways to make it run better and faster ?
A: Modifying cars is not a cheap hobby. Lucky for you that you have one of the cheapest cars to modify. Honda makes some great cars and thus they sell a lot. That is also why Honda has very large aftermarket support. There are many companies that make products for the Accord. Unfortunately if you are looking for serious power gains it is hard to come by unless you are ready to spend some big money.
Bolt-Ons are your best bet here. Intake, exhaust, and headder. AEM makes some of the best intakes for the money. They are a little pricy compared to E-Bay intakes and all but always remember when working on a car, you get what you pay for. AEMs intakes are engineered for the car. Make sure to get a CAI (Cold Air Intake) as opposed to a “Short Ram”. Short ram intakes will give you slightly better throttle response but not real power. That is cased because of many reasons including the fact that they are sucking up hotter air from the engine bay. But the issue with CAIs is that they can injest water in bad flood situations which can hydrolock your engine making it useles.
Exhaust has multiple parts to it. You can change your Exhaust Muffler for a better flowing one and also you can change your pipes to 2.25 inch pipes. This will help a little.
Headder is another thing to get. I would sudgest a 4-2-1 headder as opposed to the 4-1 headder. That will give you the power in mid range as opposed to high range.
With these boltons you may gain about 10 HP or so. Not too much.
Another thing is tires. Make sure you have the correct size for what you are doing.
If you want more power then you would be looking into cams and valve jobs and eventually into forced induction which is not cheap.
Q: How do you set the time on a 2004 Honda Accord?
I purchased a 2004 Honda Accord from Carmax, but it didn’t come with an owner’s manual (strange, i know). Ever since the daylight savings time-switch, my clock has been off an hour. I suppose I could just press every combination of buttons on the radio until I figure it out, but I thought I’d let somebody speed things up for me, and show off their knowledge, haha. Thanks.
A: here’s the instructions from the owners manual to set the clock on your 2004 accord
.
with the key in the ignition and turned ON but the radio turned OFF,
Press and hold the SOUND button.
until you hear a beep. The displayed
time begins to blink
Change the hours by pressing the
H (radio station Preset button 4) side of the bar until the numbers advance to the desired time.
Change the minutes by pressing the M
(radio station Preset 5) side of the bar until the
numbers advance to the desired time.
When you are finished, press the
SOUND button again to set the time.
hope that helps
Q: How to improve radio reception in Honda Accord?
I have a Honda Accord 2006 with the antenna built into the back windshield. The radio reception is horrible. How can I improve the radio reception and/or what are some of my options?
Specific options…
A: You could get another antenna or just get satellite radio. A website I looked at said the antenna could be corroded.
Q: What are the best headlight bulbs that I can place on a 01 Honda Accord?
I need to replace my head light bulb for my 01 Honda Accord. I have horrible night vision. I would like the best light I can get. What are my options? Thanks.
A: As others have mentioned, I would highly recommend Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. They retail for $40-50 USD per set, and they last a decent amount of time (just make sure you do not touch the bulbs with your fingers, as the oil from your hands will cause problems).
Here is a link to a photo of a car using regular halogens and the new Silverstar Ultras:
http://www.sylvania.com/content/display.scfx?id=003693263
They are a bit pricy, but short of buying Xenon or HID kits for your car, which can be very expensive, these are the brightest, legal, white bulbs on the market.
Q: Is the 2005 Honda Accord EX Coupe a good first car for a teenager?
I’m turning 17 in 2 weeks and i’m getting my first car for my birthday! I’m looking for something in the 6k-7,500k price range. And I think that the Honda Accord would be a good and reliable choice. What do you think? Any suggestions?
A: Yes, a Honda Accord EX is a very good car. I should say, in general, Honda cars are the best buy for the money. They are durable, reliable and long lasting. Honda has really good customer service, some of the best in the business. Most Japanese cars are made better than other so called cars that will remain unmentioned.
When buying a used car, there are several things to consider. MOST IMPORTANT. The first is mileage; a car that has been driven 10K to 12K miles per year is consider a low mileage car; one that has been driven 15K to 20K miles per year is high mileage. When buying a used car, fined one that has between 30K and 50K miles on the odometer; a car with this amount of mileage will be well broken in, will not need any major work other then a tune-up, oil-change and air filters; maybe breaks and tires too. Once you get up around 60K to 80K miles, timing belts, serpentine belts and major tune-ups may need to be considered.
Does it burn any oil? This is an extremely important question to ask when buying a used a car. If it does burn ANY oil, don’t buy it. It is too expensive to deal with.
Has it been in any accidents? If so, don’t buy it. I don’t care how good the deal is. My grandmother was in a minor accident that damaged the right front fender. The body shop did not estimate the damage done to the suspension or axle. After a year, the axle went bad; we had replaced it and the insurance company said, “Sorry, can’t help ya”. What jerks!
Does it have any rust? If so, don’t buy it.
Where are the receipts for maintenance? Have a grungy boy friend look through the receipts to see what work has been done to the car. If there was anything major like a recall or a transmission rebuild, find out if there is a warranty and if it is transferable.
Is this vehicle certified? This is a question you would ask a dealer. Certified means the car has gone through a diagnostic and physical examination to find anything wrong with the car. The thing I don’t like is that some dealerships try to pass on lemons to people. For instance, I was sold one. It was a certified Toyota dealership vehicle; the red engine light came on a few days after buying it. I went to the dealer and they said the system needed to be reset and I had to go to a Nissan dealer to pay to have it done. They didn’t even offer to pay for it. Such bullshit. If you buy a certified vehicle from a Honda or Toyota dealership then get their warranty not a second or third generation warranty. You don’t want to buy a warranty from some Jo Shmo otherwise you have to pay for the service yourself and then submit your paperwork to the warranty company for reimbursement. So, if it is a major job like an engine rebuild your stuck until your reimbursed and they may even make up some lame excuse not to pay you, then you have to go through legal channels like finding a lawyer, hiring another certified mechanic to validate your claim. In the end, you lose more money doing all the footwork.
Buying a used car though a private party, hire an independent certified mechanic that you know personally and have him or her look it over.Go get the car and drive it to your mechanic and let him have it for the whole day.
How clean is the vehicle? If it is dirty on the inside or dirty in the engine compartment, these are sure signs that this person does not take very good care of their car. My pick-up truck has 86K miles on it, it still looks and runs like is has 25K miles. You know the saying, an engine compartment so clean you could eat off of it.
When was the last time the brakes where changed? On some cars, it’s every year, on others it’s two or three years, it depends how much driving is done and what type. If it is a car that has been driven in heavy traffic, the brakes wear fastest, if driven on the highway the brakes wear slowest.
How has this vehicle been driven? City or Highway. If it has slightly high mileage and has been driven on the highway, that is all right; I’d rather buy a vehicle with freeway miles then a vehicle with city miles. City miles are harsher on a an engine, suspension and drive-train.
