Nextel phone in lighter makes radio buzz....
when I use the lighter charger in my lighter, the radio simply goes into buzzing world. Is there a known problem or a known fix for this?
Also, a really basic question: I just bought this car (91 Accord EX) and it appears to have custom items (new front and rear lights, etc).
It says 16 valves" in the engine. is this special? Also, what gas should this use? My mechanic suggested 89 octane, since it is 16 valve.
Finally, how can I tell if it has been hotrodded? it certainly has a lot of pickup....
thanx all!! I'm a newb, but humble in the face of this forum....

1) Cell phone bit. Sounds like there's a bad ground on the lighter maybe? I'm not completely sure, but that's my best guess there.
2) You've got the same engine I have...f22b. Nothing special about the 16 valves marking. It's just Honda's way of making it LOOK special.
Use any octane you'd like. 87 will work just as well as 91.3) This really depends on your definition of "hotrodding". Look under your hood. If there's an 'S' shaped pipe with a big filter on the end, congrats! You have a Short Ram Intake! Just look for anything that's a little bit flashy or seems bigger than normal.

how about moving the cell phone as far away from the radio as possible? the signals that your cellphone transmitter sends and recieves can spoof up your headunit

My work uses Nextel phones exclusively. I have noticed that when I get a 2-way message my computer speakers will get interference. Also the 2-way messaging is close in frequency to the one that our halon detectors use in the server room. We actually had the halon go off, shutting all the power to our server room, and setting off the fire alarm.
I guess what I am saying is that it is probably just your phone that is causing the interference.

nextels interfere with EVERYTHING. however I think its a different problem if its only when you plug it in. like suggested try a different phone (or anything like a radar detector or something) you have an f22a6, not f22b. It is the most powerful engine in the 4th gen accords, but I don't know if I would say it has lots of pickup. depends what you are used to driving I guess. just uses regular 87. as far as it being modded just look for like anything shiny
