i got it running 3 cylidres
timing belt 15 degrees in advance, distributer cap rusted, leaky fuel injectors, and faulty TW sensor.

with the timing adusted where it was.. it idle'd good
NEVER TAKE CAR TO THE HONDA DOCTOR IN LOVELAND!!!

---put in faulty distributer and it ran worse when i got it back

Thanks.

I would think that you could take the cluster to a honda dealership and have them reprogram it for you. Or atleast you could always call and ask.

i got a 5speed 93 accord with 174000 and it still runs like it just came off the lot. no joke

[notyouraveragegirl]

Well... the '93 was bought at auction as "abandoned" 189k on it - 5speed drives like a dream and made it accross country this december - so the OD reads 194 now...

the 98 V6 Vtec has 107k and counting... ..we're babying this one right now

[size=6]YES [size=1]A friend of mine back home had one, I forget the year - but it was at some 750k ridiculous mileage - he was going for a million... but OH so sadly - was in an accident and totaled the car

but seriously -- 100k... even 200 -- these cars are just getting broken in

[Smeee]

Working on 186k.....i got it two years ago with 125! Yeaaa i love driving my baby. haa i just started modding it at like 165k or so. damn shes a running strong! =)

[mykkyee]

[94accordlx1]

lol yeah hondas run a long time but its not that much more than other cars. ive heard of a 4.3 liter v6 in a chevy astro van going 600k miles and the only major work done was replacing the valve seals one time. my dads old 1990 chevy silverado 350 v8 had 180000 miles on the original engine and tranny and it was still idlin better than many newer cars do and the tranny never clunked. we have a honda accord that is still a baby with 80,000 miles, its an 87 with a carb and it gets almost 35 mpg in the city or more. sadly the tranny is going out tho

i've got a 94 accord with 114k hella life left heh.

I've got a '91 Accord with 222K on it. I'd say I've done very little work on this car since I bought it used in 1997; timing belt and water pump, fuel igniter, valve adjustment, one CV joint, wheel alignment (1 time). Those are the things that come to mind; of course, there's some other routine stuff such as brakes and exhaust. It runs good; very little oil consumption. May have to replace the clutch, but still having the original at 222K is great.

My experience with Hondas has been terrific. The first Honda in the family was an 84 CRX that my son drove. Had about 120K on it when we bought it and had about 218K on it when we got rid of it. We got good service from that car.

My son later bought a 90 Civic that had 135K on it when he bought it, and about 216K on it when he got rid of it. I recall driving from Columbus, OH to Dallas, TX in that car with my son. When we left Ohio, it had about 184K miles on it. I checked the oil before we left. On the first morning after we arrived in Dallas, I checked the oil again. I couldn't see any difference. The distance from OH to TX was about 1050 miles, as I recall. Amazing!

I just 136,000 on my 90 Accord.
