So you still have the part number(s) handy for these bushes?

If a bunch or sensors located in the head report faults at the same time, the problem could be cooling or coolant level or a pressure leak that stops coolant from rising above 100C. The temperature indicator never indicates overheating when your coolant is at atmospheric pressure. The head is...

You can buy new Mk 8 Accord /TSX lenses as well https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003387673822.html

You can build a simple ozone generator by buying a sterilising UV-C lamp on aliexpress and build that into an enclosure with a slow fan. Leave it in your car for a few hours. Optionally with the airco or heater on to circulate the gas through your ducts. Ozone oxidises organic molecules by...

Thanks for the suggestions. I thought Limp Mode in the Diesel Accord still allows up to 2000 rpm? Are there different limp modes? The 3 starts thing does make sense though. I will try that if it ever happens again. It's not winter where I am though... Yes the car is stored outside, but...

We've all occasionally stalled the engine, right? I did today, after a 1 hour drive, ending in stop-start urban traffic, I think I misjudged the revs pulling out from a parking space, onto the road, on a slight uphill. The car went cloink and I quickly restarted it before the people in my...

Both you and Chesjak are looking for the same solution, to only slightly different problems.

I don't normally pay much attention to the Gen 8 threads, but are you hoping to measure the injection pressure on an N22B? Before or after the injection pump?

I've searched far and wide, but I think that you are the first to share images of the inside. Identifying the faulty relay is possible a couple of ways, eg. plugging it in and feeling for the click holding a small insulated screwdriver against the body of a relay, or using a thermal camera to...

If a previous owner has run bulbs that drew much more current than the prescribed 55W bulbs, there could have been arcing in the relay gap. I'd say that Honda would have some sort of spark mitigation to minimise EM emissions, but eg 120W bulbs could have overpowered that. Water ingress or an...

Yes I think you're right. NiMH charging is the same as NiCD ISTR, and chargers for those didn't seem to mind what capacity battery you attached. A 4x capacity pack is 10x cheaper, as the original BVH cells seem to have very high capacity per volume. I'll just have to mount the battery...

Sorry I dropped the ball on this. Rather a lot going on with the family, and our equivalent of MOT for my own car on top of that. I'd be dremelling the top shell off the Relay Control Module at this stage as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You can sikaflex it back into...

Do you have the stock activation for the rear fog light in place? On the gen7 the rear fog light is switched on and off by a momentary switch one click (fraction of a rotation) further than the front fog lights, of the secondary ring on the light and indicator stalk/ But it does not work...

Eleven years later.. your procedure was spot on. Thanks.
