The water pump on your vehicle is ran by the timing belt.The timing belt will have to be removed to change the water pump.You have a engine that is classified as interference witch means that it will bend the valves if the timing belt goes out.I would recomend that while you are doing the water pump you should change the timing belt to be on the safe side.

this is called idle surge and no it is not a vacuum leak, do the following procedure it should help.

, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

1. Drain the cooling system and remove the lower radiator hose from the thermostat housing.
2. Remove the thermostat housing bolts, the housing and the thermostat.
3. Clean the gasket mounting surfaces.
4. To install, use new gaskets and reverse the removal procedures; install the thermostat's spring end toward the engine. Torque the housing bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).
5. Refill and bleed the cooling system.

Yes the mechanic was right, it is the ignition control module.

Let him work on it. I bet he knows the right thing to do on the car.

Good car.

YOU WILL NEED A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.IT WILL SHOW AND TELL YOU HOW TO REMOVE RADIATOR.I DONT KNOW YOUR CLIMATE.IF YOU LIVE IN VERY COLD CLIMATE.YOU NEED MORE ANTIFREEZE IN COOLANT SYSTEM THAN WATER.WATER WILL FREEZE CAUSE PROBLEMS.

follow the top radiator hose and you will locate it

fuel pump is in the fuel tank.incase you have to replace fuel pump.you can remove it through luggage area.dont have to drop fuel tank.

Thermostat not opening up, A thermostat is spring loaded and it will open up at the spec temp for what the thermostat calls for. Are you losing water, feel the hose to see if it is actually hot as the gauge states.

google it! but all you need to know is that with key turned to on position most all fuses are on so you just test each side if the fuse with test light if it lights on one side and not the other then the fuse is bad also remember there are fuses inside car and outside in engine compartment

perhaps the float inside the tank is full of petrol

either front pulley or the flywheel ,just look and you will find ,could be just a hole through bell housing that has a 8mm rod (special product tool) that pushes into the flywheel .

Replace the CV Axles.

Not familiar with the Porsche, but one thing worth checking it the Ignition fuse in the fuse panel. I had a car in the past that burnt that fuse when the battery was low on power and we tried to crank it.
Hope this helps.

Good Luck

check wiring for a short

could be a relay (I believe they are located under the battery its been a while since Ive worked on one) you could also give an enthusiasts club a try I believe yuors is a second gen www.acura-legend.com may be able to help you with this. good luck

The problem with overheat is due to poor coolant circulating. The main culprit is the Radiator. When the radiator is clogging up, coolant can't be circulating. The stagnant coolant inside the engine water jacket keeps absorb heat from combustion chambers having no way to dissipate the heat then the engine is overheated. You can test the water pump by removing the thermostat, then hooking everything back. Open the radiator cap, then turn on the engine to see if water flowing down to several small tubes inside the radiator. If water can't go down fast enough to cause over flow at radiator opening then your 90 Legend Radiator already got clogged up. Replace with a new radiator, not even a rebuilt one. Good luck.

check the slave cylinder, thats what pushes the clutch arm, they often start to leak and you loose the fluid and the pedal gets low start there good luck hope this is helpful.

Hello! The starter on a 1993 Legend is very well hidden. It is behind the left drive axle.

I'll give you the removal steps to give you a better idea.

Disconnect the wires from the starter motor solenoid...

Unbolt the bracket from the starter motor...

Remove the left drive axle (see chapter 8 in a Haynes repair manual)

Remove the forward section of the exhaust system (chapter 4)

Remove the starter mounting bolts and carefully maneuver the starter motor from under the vehicle.

As you can see this is a very difficult job.

Good luck.

buy a new one ,or solder 2 wires to the bulb and then join this to the two existing wires of the loom,drill a hole in the bottom of the bulb holder so the wires can run through it so you use the old bulb holder to hold the bulb in place in the light
