question about my 89 accord
 

I just recently got an 89 accord sei for a daily driver, and all was well for a bit. I love having a 5spd to drive around again finally, and even for an 89, this car drives like new. Ok heres my problem. When my engine comes up to temperature, i start to get occasionally bogging of the motor at idle, plus the phantom slight revving of the motor, and under heavy acceleration or immediately after a downshift, the motor feels like it misfires. I was under the impression that it could be one of the o2 sensors, since the car only acts funny after it comes up to temp, but when I checked the diag. codes on the ECM tonight, I got code 6, which according to the chilton's manual I got along with the car, means coolant temp, so I'm entirely baffled now. A little help anyone? :)

Oh, before I forget, this board rocks. :)

i think it's the sensor that is messed up. maybe you shouldget a multimeter and check it for impedance before you are goinf to replace it.

Update: I replaced the CTS on it, car runs like new now. :)

that is cool, welcome to hs, this place is heaven for hp/tq challenged

haha, my accord may be challenged, but when my 88 camaro is finished, it most definately wont be. :) IMO, nothing beats the feeling of opening the throttle on solid V8 american muscle :)

i was just joking, and i imagine the same feeling is like driving mazda 929 with a 13b, woah what a feeling!

go to 3geez.com one of the guys there will know. its a forum for 3rd gen accords, 86-89.
