Re: 92 Honda Accord .Got a trip permit, put gas in the car, and it ran beautifully for the first 21 miles of my 22 mile trip. Then the gauges in the dash quit, and the car began lurching down the road verrry slowly. It will restart easily with a jump, but it won't remain running. I looked for bare, loose wires and visually checked the smaller fuses. I had to put plastic over the passenger window because I was unable to get it to power up, although the drivers side window worked. The car was hit in the front fender/bumper area. I'm thinking that maybe something else in that area went bad???
Check for engine codes. There is a plug on the passenger side of the car, behind the panel in front of the passenger door, or possibly just above foot level on passenger side under dash. The plug has 2 wires going into it, and it's a square plastic end that looks like it should have been plugged into another wire, but it's just hanging there. Get a paper clip, 'jump' the plug (put one end of paper clip in one side of the plug, the other end of the paper clip in the other side). The check engine light will flash if there are trouble codes stored. Count the # of flashes. Single digit code #'s are short flashes. 2 digit #'s are a long flash for the 1st digit, followed by a short flash for the 2nd digit. If there is more than one code, there will be a pause between #'s. This flashing of check engine light will repeat over and over, so you can check your findings easily. Post what #'s come up, and I'll help you with what they indicate. Curt

set trip odometer to zero,fill fuel tank,drive car until 1/2 tank and fill up again record your miles from trip odometer, divide this number by the gallons of gas you just filled car with and this will give you miles per gallon (MPG)
sounds like you need a full tune up and throttle body ,or carb. cleaned , could lust have a lot of miles on the internal engine parts, if thats the case, you need a new engine.
Most of the Accords ARE interference motors, however, I had a 92 Accord that broke a timing belt on the highway, and was able to get it running again just by replacing the belt. It had a slight tick,, but was a manual trans, so I ran it at high rpms for about 25 miles and it heated the valve stems up a bit and helped to straighten them out so the tick got alot quieter. Lemme know if this helps. Good luck!
A/C Problem usuallyabout 200,000 miles (specifically high pressure hose leaks and compressor clutch usually within 30,000 miles of the hose going.)
At about 250,000 miles or so the main relay goes usually at about 290,000 Torque convertor in Automatic Transmission starts to slip.. Manual tranny can't say too much there depends on how you drive . replace clutches at every 50K or at 150K depends on driver.The cat and the mufflers usually go at abot 190,000 give or take (depends how much water you drove threw). Lastly fast idle cam valve about every 120,000. As you can see this is a great car to own.
most likley the gas has not reached the carbs yet, try taking off the pipe to the carbs and """sucking the gas up to the cards,,,
i know? but it works!
I have experienced problems w/ cars that have sat unused for some time, Here's what to expect: The gas can be a major problem. Gas can go bad after several months, although I have had vehicles sit for a year, and they started and ran fine, hopefully you will have the same luck that I did. If it goes bad, it gets gummy, and clogs up the carb or injectors. Next thing to consider is the brake system. Fluid should probably be flushed throughout the entire system. It's common for brakes to 'drag' after sitting for long periods, especially if brake fluid hasn't been changed in a long time. You may find that brake calipers or brake cylinders are seized up and need to be replaced/rebuilt. Other than that, change the oil and filter, also the air filter, (check for mouse nests in the air filter ) and once it's up and running, change trans fluid (is it auto or stick?). 60k, WOW, what a car! Good luck! Curt
I have only owned the car for 4 months, the only thing that bothers me is poor gas mileage. I am only averaging about 13 miles per gallon in mixed driving.
