This is a 1991 Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan.  It is automatic transmission with 164700 miles on it.  It has the common condition for these vehicles of damaged clear coat in some areas (roof is the worst area).  It is brown with tan interior except for two replaced areas. The hood has been replaced (it is dark blue) and the passenger side front quarter panel has been replaced (light beige).  There are a couple of rust spots near the rear tire wells.  At the moment it needs a capacitor/resistor replaced on the TCU (transmission control unit).  If someone is handy this can be done for about $10 with capacitor/resistors from radio shack.  I have replaced 3 on it in the past five years.  The TCU itself can be replaced as well.  They appear to sell for about $50 on ebay and plug in as a computer hard drive does. It does still drive with the unit not working properly, but it forces the transmission into sports mode which means you have to manually shift through the gears (On the plus side at least it doesn't strand you when it goes).  The other issue at the moment is the battery.  It was working when the TCU problem started, but after sitting for a week it wouldn't start.  It does start when jumped so it can be driven away ok.  I have put over $5,000 into the car in the past five years.  Most of the work has been to the front drive train and gaskets.  Replaced items include sway bar, oil pan gasket, oil cover gasket, upper ball joints, axles, rotors, plus all gears in transmission were replaced before I realized the problem was actually the TCU.  It would be great for someone who can fix it up a bit. It is inspected  until August.  It does come with a full tank of gas.  Thanks for looking.

Honda updates Takata airbag recall status for some models

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

The net enveloping vehicles in the Takata airbag inflator recall just seems to keep widening. Honda is now updating its previous campaign to revise the status for even more models that were ever registered in (or originally sold in) 13 high-humidity US states and territories.
All of these vehicles were included in the company's earlier repairs. However, at the time this fix was titled "a safety improvement campaign." This latest action upgrades that condition to "a formal recall," according to Honda's official statement. The models include: the 2003-2005 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic (pictured above), 2002-2005 CR-V, 2003-2004 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2005 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003-2005 Acura MDX and the 2005 Acura RL. All of these need to have their passenger-side, front airbag inflator replaced, and the recall affects Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam and American Samoa.
As with the rest of these affected vehicles, it's possible in a collision for the inflator to rupture spraying metal shrapnel at occupants. There are at least 139 injuries attributed to this problem from a variety of automakers so far. Among this latest population of vehicles, Honda says there have been no confirmed injuries or fatalities related to these exploding inflators.

NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.

Honda Vezel is the Fit crossover we've been waiting for

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

"Vezel" may sound like the latest miracle cure from Big Pharma, but in truth it's the long-awaited Fit-based crossover from Honda. Unfortunate name aside, this four-door CUV looks ready for production, because it is.
Shown here in hybrid guise, the subcompact Vezel looks quite sporty, with boldly upswept sheetmetal contours, an aggressively raked backlight, "hidden" rear doorhandles borrowed from the JDM Civic hatchback, and an expressive face with LED headlamps.
Honda is presently confirming that the Vezel will go on sale in both hybrid and gas-only guise in Japan, but it isn't offering anything in the way of specifications other than to say that both models will make use of a 1.5-liter direct-injected engine, the "Sport Hybrid i-DCD" powertrain of course getting a "high-output motor" of unspecified power and what could be a dual-clutch transmission. Honda has declined to make clear whether this is the new 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine we told you about yesterday, but it's a good bet that it is indeed the same new Earth Dreams powerplant. Critically, there's no mention of whether all-wheel drive will be offered.
