Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts? I ordered four oil filters and a bulb from Majestic Honda for a total of $20.82. Then they charged me $4.95 for handling and $8.22 for freight. I thought this was pretty outrageous! I called Hparts recently and they didn't answer the phone.

I have found a copy of the manual for Honda's mp3 accessory, which is available for the 2005, 2006 Accords. The good news, for me :), is it has a random mode which enables play of all your songs in a folder (up to the folder's 255 file max.) in a random manner and you can have 100 folders. But...

Recently bought a 2004 Honda Accord -- this morning the ignition was immobilized when I put the key in to turn the engine. I tried the spare key with the same result -- so I guessed the key didn't need recoding. Then a passerby "showed me a trick" and did something to fix it (put the key in the...

When is the best time to get the lowest price on a new car? So you've heard that there are "soft spots" in vehicle merchandising, industry secrets about when dealers will absolutely sacrifice profit, pride and practical business sense to move machinery at any price. You've heard these rumors,...

Hi, I see the following behavior on my '92 Accord: - Brakes seem to function normally. Car comes to a complete stop with a moderate amount of pressure on the brake pedal. At this point the pedal is not 'on the floor'. - At this point, if I maintain the same pedal pressure as was required to stop...

My wife's 1999 Accord has this situation. When accelerating at a normal pace and the engine (automatic) shifts into 3rd gear and you then push your foot down to pass (i.e. getting on the expressway) and the engine down-shifts into second gear, there is a slight hesitation with the engine still...

My wife's Accord as 90,700 miles on it. When we get the oil changed what kind should we get? We get it changed every 3k/3months religiously but for the last year or so I have been using the premium oil. Should I save my money and use regular, continue the premium, or use the high milage...

My power door locks have stopped working all together in my 98 accord along with the drivers power window switchs for the passenger side of the car (front and rear). I can control the windows on the drivers side of the car from the drivers seat, but not any of the other windows. I'm not sure what...

Hi, If I only run my accord for a minute or so (i.e. do not let it warm up) and then shut it off, it has trouble starting the next time I try to start it. The trouble ranges from 1) starting normally, then idling roughly for a minute or so, and then running normally to 2) starting and then quickly...

I am looking at two cars: 1) 2004 Accord EX I4 with 30k, AT 2) 2007 Civic EX AT They are roughly the same price. I had 1995 Civic die on me--needs new transmission, and I decided this is just a time to get a new ride. I have driven the Civic, but not the Accord. The one thing I did not like...

Hi: I just bought an '87 Accord, and I found out it needs a new carb. The carb replacement is very expensive. It is listed as a Holly Carb. Does anyone know of any other carburetors I could use in place of the factory issued part, that will more than likely cost me a lot less than the...

I just discovered this new site that's giving away a $100 gas voucher, for free! Can you believe the price of gas these days? In my area it's currently over $4.75 per gallon, and all signs point to it going even higher, very soon. I remember the days when gas used to cost $0.99 per gallon, but...

Alrighty, I've been having problems installing my Amps/Subs. I have 2 Sony Xplod 12 Inch Subs, 1200 Watts, and 2 Sony Xplod 1200 Watt Amps. I connected all the wires, and then turned it on. Nothing. The Subs didn't turn on. I moved both Subs onto 1 Amp, and when I started the car, the Blue...

Last month I went on vacation for 3 weeks, during this time it rained like heck on my civic. When I returned from vacation, I started my Civic and immediately got a "Charge System" light, and "ABS" light and a "SRS" light. The next day the car wouldn't start. I pulled out the battery and...

my car overheated about 2 years ago i took it to the shop and they said that i blew a head gasket, so we let it sit for a few min to cool off then put some fluid in it and never had a problem since. did it just need fluid or were they trying to get $900 out of my pocket?

My 06 Ridgeline has developed an AM only radio problem. Just the slightest imperfection in the road causes severe radio static, all stations affected. FM is not affected at all. Reception is perfect when not moving, and distance to the transmitter doesn't matter. Anyone ever heard of this...

My excellent Honda dealer fixed my AM radio problem, or so it seems today. Per 05-005 they installed an upgrade to the coaxial harness. They said if this doesn't work there is one more upgrade they will perform. It appears it is going to work fine at this time. Thanks to Tegger for the help. Ed
