    1994 Transmission Compatibility Question

    I did it!! I was able to get the engine and transmission dropped in together this weekend. I used an engine hoist and a come-along, with a little help from a floor jack. I lowered the combination in with the transmission pointing down. Once I got her lowered in I used a come-along to raise the...

    Stupid Power Steering Question

    Okay... I know before I ask this question that I'm gonna make myself look like an idiot, but what the hell?! So, I've got a 94 VTEC Accord with a leaky power steering pump. I'm gonna try to find a used one to put on it. Been looking online and I've seen people advertising pumps that are...

    1994 Transmission Compatibility Question

    I made my first attempt today at dropping the engine & transmission into the car as one unit. I didn't have much luck, though. So, I have a question... ...am I naive to think that I'll be able to drop the whole thing in with the intake manifold attached? Am I being too greedy, or is it...

    1994 Transmission Compatibility Question

    One more stupid question: is it possible to remove the transmission without removing the CV Axles? I'm wondering if I can pull the front wheel assembly aside at all...

    1994 Transmission Compatibility Question

    Allow me to resurrect an older thread... sorry, but I'm just now getting to doing the engine/tranny swap. So, I've got the engine and transmission out of the car... I'm ready to drop the new ones in place. I've got one question: is it easier to bolt the transmission to the engine first, then...

    1994 Transmission Compatibility Question

    My daily driver is a 1994 Accord EX with a VTEC F22B1 engine. A few months ago, I hydro-locked it. So, I'm about to start in on an engine swap. Bought another F22B1 engine from a guy and I'm gonna drop it in sometime in the next few weeks. My question is this: I have a parts car that's not a...

    Why Won't My '90 Accord Shift Out Of Second?

    So, I put the TCU back in... now the car shifts fine. We'll see how long this lasts. If it messes up again, I'll pull the codes out and post them up here...

    Why Won't My '90 Accord Shift Out Of Second?

    I just opened up my TCU... it doesn't show any obvious signs of damage. No burnt smell or anything like that. According to this website: "The resistors R41, R42, R43, are overheated or burned and capacitors C27, C28, C32, C33, C5 leaking or shorted." I see no burnt areas surrounding those...

    Why Won't My '90 Accord Shift Out Of Second?

    So, I'm pretty sure my Transmission Computer is shot (a.k.a. the TCU). Anybody know where I can get one other than walking into a parts store or a dealer? I mean, of course I'll try the salvage yards... I'm just wondering if anybody out there has got a parts car...

    Why Won't My '90 Accord Shift Out Of Second?

    I sure hope I don't have to use the D4 light to get the diagnostic codes... the LED is burnt out.

    Why Won't My '90 Accord Shift Out Of Second?

    So, my back-up car started acting funny yesterday. For some reason, it decided to stop shifting. When I drive along, it won't come out of second. At 50 MPH, I'm pushing 4 grand on the tach. When I shift manually, I can get it into first... otherwise it's all second, all the time. No other gear...

    90 Accord Just Died Last Night... Quick Diagnosis, Please.

    A guy told me to try something... he said, "Start the car, but don't let go of the key once it starts. Turn it back slowly until the starter disengages. If the car runs, the switch is bad." So, I did it... it happened just like he said. The car stays running as long as I hold the key just ahead...

    90 Accord Just Died Last Night... Quick Diagnosis, Please.

    Before anybody says anything, it's not the battery and it's not the alternator. Something is cutting either the fuel supply or the fire when I disengage the starter (i.e. turn the key from Start to Run). I'm leaning towards the former. I don't think this is a fire problem. I think it's a fuel...
