As mentioned earlier, the sixth generation and early seventh-generation Accords were riddled with problems. Anything from the 1998 model to the 2005 model is all Accord model years to avoid. The transmissions and engines were prone to failure and excessive oil consumption.
Under the hood, there are two versions of the Accord`s 2.2 liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve SOHC engine. Both versions have more horsepower and torque than their predecessors, with equal or better fuel efficiency. The DX /LX engine now has 130 horsepower and 139 lb. -ft.
Shorter and wider than the previous-generation Accord, the 1994 model is available in three trim levels. Antilock brakes are standard on the EX and are finally available on the LX and DX.
2004-2007, 2010-2011, 2014-2017, and 2019-2021 are the best years for the Honda Accord. But Accord buyers should stay away from the 2001-2003, 2008-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 model years. The troubles with these Accords usually involve expensive repairs to the engine and catalytic converter.
lasts will depend on how well it is cared for and how often you drive it. But given proper maintenance, it should last 15-20 years or 200,000 – 300,000 miles. , make sure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule, stay up to date on your oil changes, and have any required repairs addressed promptly.
Top speed: 130 mph. Wheelbase: 106.9 inches. Length: 187.8 inches. Width: 70.1 inches.
Great handling, comfort, and reliability

PROs: I`ve always appreciated the excellent handling, 7.9 second 0 to 60 acceleration, 27 mpg average fuel economy in mostly city driving, Tesla-Model-3-like driving position and low hood, superb engine design, reliability and great all-around visibility.

Honda Accord brake pads usually last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles depending on your driving habits. If you commute in heavy traffic and use your brakes often, you`ll need to get an inspection more frequently.
“If you don`t have anti-locks, hard braking can cause the wheels to lock up, which can send you into a skid. Wheel lockup can result in longer stopping distances and can cause you to lose control,” Rader says.

Will a transmission from a non vtech 1995 Honda accord work in a 1997 honda accord with vtech
ANSWER : The model year 1996 transmission will work in your 1997 vehicle but not the 1995. For a 1997 Accord, you can ONLY use transmission IDs B0YA Trans.; TAG: 20021-P0Z-010. No other transmission will work and there is no work around solution because the transmission is controlled by a computer and consequently to get the incompatible transmission to function you would have to literally change the physical hardware and software. Exact interchange transmissions for your vehicle can be readily found at Car-Part.com. If you are interested in a transmission replacement, YourMechanic professionals in certain locales can assist with that. Please simply inquire based on your locale. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic.

Is a non vtech 1995 honda accord tranny comparable with a vtech 1997 honda accord
ANSWER : Hi Tiffany: I contacted Honda with your specific question. According to Honda, the only transmission that will work properly, as designed and as intended, in your 1997 Accord is one with the EXACT same tag ID that you had originally. Consequently, the 1995 transmission will not work without RE-ENGINEERING components in the vehicle. We do not have details of the required re-engineering nor does Honda. They would literally have to assign technical staff to create a solution and instructions that you or mechanics would implement to get a non interchange part to work. The tag ID that you need appears on the 1997 transmission or it can be recreated using your VIN number. That tag ID represents the only interchange that is known to work. Installing a 1995 transmission with a different tag ID represents a custom, unique design that was not contemplated by Honda, and consequently is not supported by Honda. We repair factory built designs based on data in the Factory Service Manuals. Custom designs or newly created systems are generally outside our purview. It will be vastly less costly, less risky, and much more convenient if you install the transmission that Honda has ALREADY specified for your vehicle because by the time you redesign the car to accommodate a transmission that it was not intended for you will have to spend much more in the end than if you just simply used the Honda specified and Honda authorized part.

What parts would I need to fix brake fluid leaking from my front front inside wheel?
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. While replacing the brake pads and rotors is standard service after they wear down, they would not cause a fluid leak. You likely have two separate brake system issues happening at the same time. The hydraulic brake fluid leak is the cause of the pedal hitting the floor. Without the ability to build hydraulice pressure and control the brake calipers, the brakes do not work. To find what needs to be replaced, you have to find where the fluid is leaking from. From there you can replace the line, valve, or other part which has failed. After the repair is made, you need to bleed the brakes and replace pads or calipers need be.

My dash board don’t work my front light work when I change my light into high beam and my back window won’t go down
ANSWER : As unfortunate as it is, your vehicle would be considered flood damaged. Diagnosing electrical problems in a flood damaged vehicle is nearly impossible. This would take many hours or even days to determine which wiring harnesses and circuits have been affected. Then nearly all of the wiring under the dash would likely require replacement as well as many sensors and switches. On a BMW vehicle, the amount of wires and switches are likely more than that of a lower end vehicle. Due to the inefficiency in cost, you would likely be able to purchase another BMW like yours for less than what it would cost to fix your car. Many insurance companies would consider this type of damage to total out the vehicle unfortuantely.

My AC does not always work. If I fiddle with the blower knob I can ususally get it to work on the lowest setting.
ANSWER : Hi There,
It sounds like you may have a faulty blower motor resistor. The highest speed setting may still work because in most cars in the highest fan speed settings the current bypasses the blower motor resistor. In some cars, if the resistor is failed, the fan may stop working completely. Another reason a blower motor resistor may fail is when the blower motor has a mechanical problem or when a foreign object jams the blower motor fan blade and prevents it from spinning freely. This leads to increased current through the resistor and causes it to overheat and fail. I would suggest having an expert from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose your system to determine what may be causing the fan not to work properly.

I have a 2004 honda accord and my front door speakers don’t work but everything else does how do I fix?
ANSWER : The first thing to check is to see if the radio has a fader function and front speakers are turned off. If set okay then you will need to try a known good speaker to see if signal is getting to speakers or the radio is defective and needs to be sent out for repair or replaced.

Air conditioning not working in the front of my SUV
ANSWER : My guess is that the refrigerant level is low (from a leak somewhere) or there is a problem with the AC pressure cut out switch. The control module will cut power to the AC compressor if it determines the system does not have the correct pressure due to a low refrigerant level.

Disconnecting the battery probably temporarily reset the control module. There may or may not be codes stored in the HVAC system to aid with diagnosis.

You should be able to wiggle the large fuse out with your bare hands or gently remove it with a pair of pliers.

Finally, I do not think any of this has to do with the oil change that was performed.
