When mine did that it was the timing belt.

Most door latches have a manual unlock procedure, and for most, you turn the key as far as you can then lift door handle and as you apply lift key should then turn further to unlock door. If this doesn't work on yours, call dealer service department and ask what's the trick on yours.

Push the triangle button- most are centrally located

You don't. You have to get it "coded" to find out what the error is first.

This problem is caused by disparity between Vehicle speed and Transmission RPM preset for that speed. Transmission automatically shifts gears smoothly when car reaches a preset speed, set by the manufacturer. If either the shift solenoid is not responding or the Transmission is slipping JERK will be experienced. First check fluid levels and change fluid if it has not been changed in the last 45,000 miles. Since you just bought the car you have no knowledge. Do not do Transmission flush if you have over 100,000 miles. Only do drain and fill with Honda Fluid. Only Drain and fill is recommended so as not to wash away/disturb the friction material by power flushing. During drain and fill add a bottle of Torgue multiplier fluid available in Auto part stores. If this does not work then take it to a Transmission shop for them to diagnose. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/uttamjeet_2f3adc18600f8ede

fuel pump out of control range, check fuel relay/ fuses then possibly the pump itself

No heat could be the heater core is plugged and needs flushing out. Or the control that opens the valve is not working. --- No AC could be the drive belt is broken or the AC clutch quit or the freon is low in the system.

You will probably need a shop manual to have the wiring diagrams needed to trace the circuits.There may be other components that affect both the wipers and ac but I know the key switch does.

some of these car have a valve that you can open or close when season changes , look on you heater core hoses should be one there just open it , push the handle or rod on the hose

The 2003 - 2005 Accord CD/Radio unit is prone to display failure. Honda had issued a TSB some years back but you may be beyond the warranty period. We repair this display issue. Check it out: www.autoclockrepair.com

Can you tell if the smell is coming more from the outside(under the hood), or the inside? I can only guess from the info so far. If the smell is from under the hood turn the heater on recirculate and you won't smell air from outside the car. Not sure where you are from, but here in New England it is time for mice inside the heater boxes.

p2004 (Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open)You need to take a look at the IMRC actuators on the intake manifold. You can try using a screwdriver or other tool to move the actuators to see if one is stuck in the open position. Do not use your fingers to do this, because if one is open and decides to close it has a bit of force behind it and can injure you. If the IMRC is stuck open, it is usually due to deposits in the intake manifold. Repair involves removing the upper intake manifold and cleaning out any deposits in the IMRC plate area. I would try running some Techron Concentrate in 2 tanks of gas to see if it dissolves enough of the gunk on the plates to free up the stuck one. Certainly a lot cheaper than having to pull the intake manifold and cleaning the plates. Always run tier one gasoline like Shell or Chevron to reduce the buidup of deposits.

Have a Transmission Shop Diagnose the code

I'm not sure of your engine size or if it matters, my info says 13 ft lbs.

2003 and up Honda Accord with 4 cylinder engines do indeed have a chain and the V6 has a belt which must be replaced at 110,000 miles. Why? Ask Honda, they designed the engines.

Broken or unplugged door switch.

so many reasons can cause this issue, 1- rusty cable 2- burnt fuse 3- low battery voltage. 4- to manage the car and drive it to a service center, look near the gear selector, you will find a black plastic cover fixed on the front side of the lever, left side, pull it and fix teh key inside and move the gear,
