Or if it can't be overriden at least the ability to turn off the AC once in defrost mode manually. Currently when the AC is on because of defrost mode, it is impossible to turn it off. And yes I know how do defrost my windows so I don't need an explanation on the merits of using the AC when defrosting...

Does the Haynes or Honda manuel assist you with diagnosing your problems? Or does it only help if you already know what the problem is and what needs to be fixed? Thanks Bill. "Bill B.

RJA, Right! What BS, Honda know full well that 1qt/1000miles is a lot of oil & represents the extreme, which most would expect only after 150,000 miles of "hard driving" which in my experience these cars rarely see due to modern traffic congestion & other driving constraints. An endoscope can be used to examine cylinder wear & your valve seals could be worn but I'll bet you just have general advanced engine wear.

I have just bought a 1994 Prelude Si, and I have a couple of questions - there was no user manual with the car: Can anyone explain how to use the radio features? There's quite a few buttons on the radio which don't mean much to me. There's a schematic diagram of the car with parts highlighted when you change the settings, so I presume that is various sound schemes, but some of the others are mysterious, like the 'Se' button. There is a 'Memory' button on the lower right of the drivers seat....

Does anyone have any comment on the power of the TSX when the air con is on. I know the engine is 200 HP but it still is a 4 cylinder. Any noticeable decrease in power such as under acceleration. TIA

I have a 99 EX, 4 cyl VTEC w/auto. Excellent car. Our fourth Honda. Yes the 4 banger rides stiffer than the 6 due to the front weight issue. But, it handles better as well. I believe the balance between ride and handling is perfect. The seats are very stiff. Much stiffer than any of my previous Hondas. But I find the extra stiffness refreshing on a long trip. It's my first Honda with an auto. I think the tranny shifts great. Sometimes I miss the 5 speed, but only sometimes, I wouldn't...

nuts on my 93 integra they tell me the transission is going ( the s3 flashes occasionally when starting and stops next time it starts ) the only solution offered was to rebuild the transmission. the quote is 2100 $ canadian. if I didn't do the 900$ brake job this spring I would just let it die.

Did the car sit for a long time? If it did, the metallic shoes have rusted to the drum OR pads to discs depending on your setup. Sometimes trying to go backwards, or rocking the car a bit will get it to pop free. If that fails, try jacking the car, and take the rear wheels off and moderately tapping the CENTER of the drum with a hammer, with the brake in the off position. When/if it does become free, get under the car and lube up your cables. Drive around a very short distance (providing...

Yeah, I got the video back then, too. John D. "mrdancer" <mrdancer@cox.your.underwear.net> wrote in message news:<DdXJa.313875$3n5.159155@news2.central.cox.net>...
