1991 Accord--tach goes to "0" when I turn lights or heat on

What I think is irrational is for a guy who has no interest in fixing
cars to hang out in a newsgroup of people who do want to fix them.

 

That's when the AAA comes in handy.

I bought my 91 Accord about nine years ago. It has never broken down
on the road, but once wouldn't start in a parking lot. That was
because of the master module that tends to fail around 100,000 miles.
My car now has 105,000 miles. That's very low for a Honda.

When I thought about buying a Fit two years in June of 2006, so many
people asked about my Accord that I finally decided to put around
$1500 into it (timing belt and so on) and just keep it for another few
years. By then the redesigned Fit will be out and I'll take another
look.

 

"Fixing" isn't the only focus of this newsgroup. There are plenty of
other things to discuss, as well.

 

You are an amateur who has barely studied the archives of
this newsgroup, barely worked on older Hondas.

No way are the symptoms evidence of a failed engine.

Never do that to ANY vehicle. It's right up there with "I unplugged my
hard drive and then plugged it back in with the computer running".

You've probably screwed up the alternator and possibly the ELD.

:-(

 

And would the alernator cause the tach to drop to "0" while

Jim,

The tach is electric. No juice, no tach. Have the charging system checked.

G-Man

 

More conjecture. You can't possibly know those things to be true.

I guess you didn't read my other post about how it doesn't matter what
exactly has failed, if you're stranded on the side of the road. You're
still stranded on the side of the road, and the *FACTS* are that this is
much more likely to happen with a car such as the one being discussed here.

Do you have anything else that you'd like explained to you?

 

Folks, I hate to have to say it, but this miniature-brained specimen
makes jim beam look wise, not to mention polite.

I recommend you quit feeding this particular troll.


RFT!!!
