    we replaced the motor but something isnt right it seems like the motor wants to bog down when you take off.

    We got some family to help us pull the motor at home so i guess we didnt do a very good job,but we think its the main seal that is leaking the oil, but we cant figure out what we did wrong to make the car not run good.

    It seems like it idles the same as it didbefore we started having problems.

    the person who test drove it said it ran fine when you take off but once you get going a certain speed it loses power

    Could possibly be a vacuum hose that was not connected properly or at all. Since the engine was apart, then it could possibly be the main seal (makes sense)

    If you get the engine apart again, I would replace both seals (rear and main) and check to your gaskets on the head and oil pan (if you're leaking... if you're burning oil, then that's obviously internal)

    Another thing to replace is the fuel filter and the pvc valve.

    How does the car idle? How bout when you start it up?

    I would definitely go see the mechanic or place that supposedly did the swap. If they did replaced the motor with a different motor, they either gave you a bad motor or simply didn't do anything at all but replace the timing belt. Simply put, the replacement motor should not be leaking oil if the mechanic did what they were suppose to do (which was to solve your engine problem). A good mechanic would have put in the motor, test drove it to make sure that there were no other surprises. If there were, then they should have addressed that then and there.

    If the motor was replaced, they did a shotty job and would go see them again. A motor swap or replacement typically takes a shop about a week or two (depending on experience). If it only took a day, they definitely didn't replace the motor.

    So what exactly are you needing help on? Yes sounds like you'll need another motor put in. When your timing belt breaks, it can definite cause a lot of motor damage being that the belt controls the movement within the engine. If the belt snaps while the car is running, the internals can potentially run right into each other, either breaking or bending those internal parts. In which case, either a rebuild is needed or just replace the entire motor.

First of all do you know if your engine is a non-interference i would think a 95 would be non-interference ( another words the valves do not collide with the piston in the event of belt failure ) for the power loss issue i would suspect your cam to crank timing ( align timing marks )
exactly. as far as your oil leaks, as mentioned by another comment,
your seals, ie. rear main, front crank, and your cam seal would of been simple to do prior to stabbing the engine, except for the cam seal you now have quite a job, if you did the install. if you paid a shop
take it back. this is not even close to good business

I have a 1992 honda accord and the timing cover is broken and or cracked almost all the way around. Why is oil coming out from that arrea?

more then likely you have a cam seal or crank seal leaking, should be looked at since oil will damage and degrade the timing belt which could leave to failure and high chance of permanet motor damage requiring a new motor

Low power and acceleration on 1990 honda accord

Sounds like a bad motor bearing. Not good news. With all spark plugs out and belts to alternator, power steering, air conditioner, etc., loose, rotate the motor by hand to see if it's free.

My wife drove my 1992 Honda Accord for approximately 4-5 miles with oil light on. Turns out the car was leaking.leaking its oil from timing chain area. Is there any engine damage?

Possibly, but I'd replace the leaking gasket/seal.
Also note, the Honda uses a timing belt (not a chain), and you don't want oil on the belt. If there's a chance the belt has gotten oil on it, you want to take the timing belt cover off, remove the belt, and clean all the oil covered parts. The oil can wear out the belt as well as cause the belt to slip timing

I'm not a Honda expert, but when my Ford Escort belt broke the motor kept trying to run and yes the motor eventually blew. It ran on 3 cylinders, then 2. Hope this helps.

Hello, got a car question for you fine people. My friend had a timing chain that broke on his car at 50,000 miles. Kinda early for something like that I would think. What would cause a timing chain to go...

50K miles IS premature for a chain to break. They're pretty tough. Are you sure it's a chain? If it is a BELT, it could be old and broke due to age. They are a synthetic rubber and eventually they deteriorate over time.

You don't specifically state what kind of car your friend has, so I am presuming a 1998 Accord. That car should have a belt.

Either a belt or a chain can fail prematurely if the tensioning system fails. This will allow excessive slack in the chain or belt which will cause damage to the affected drive components. The tensioning systems can fail due to one or more of the following:

Lack of oil pressure, failed tensioning springs, failed pulley bearings, over-revving the engine for ridiculous periods of time, and failed plastic guide components.

Belts can also fail due to chemical contamination (oil or antifreeze leaking on the belt).

Finally - the water pump can fail which will derail the belt as the belt drives the water pump on many Honda 4 cylinder engines.

MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD WONT START THE D4 LIGHT COMES ON IVE CHANGED THE MAIN RELAY SWITCH,AND THE FUEL PUMP.BUT I STILL CANT HEAR THE FUEL PUMP TURN ON. WHY?

Check to see if you have spark to your spark plugs. On hondas if you have no spark it wont let the fuel pump get power. This is controlled by a small part in the distributor called the ignitor by honda and ignition module in aftermarket terms. when this part goes bad you wont have spark or fuel. it is a pretty expensive part. sometimes its cheaper to get a used distributor at the junk yard and change the whole thing. also make sure your timing belt hasnt snapped cause if it did your distributor wont turn and you will get the same results. take the distributor cap off and check and see if the rotor spins while someone is cranking the engine. if it doesnt turn your timing belt is broke or your camshaft broke in half. broken camshafts are a common problem with 95 accords. If none of this helps you may have a wiring problem or even your cars computer may have taken a dump

How to put a new timing blet on a 1993 honda accord LX 2.2 L

well chances are you now have bent valves , if you bought the car with a bad timing belt then most likely the valves are bent since that motor is an interference engine.
