Hi, everyone. Great site here!


My first post, so I thought I'd put my two cents in here while troubleshooting a couple of minor problems.

99 Accord 2door-4cyl

I bought it used with 22k on it, now has 77. It's been the most reliable ride I've ever had.

Minor problems include:

The clock lamp went out after I put in a new stereo at 30k. (didn't realize that was so common, I've never even bothered replacing it)

The engine idles poorly when the AC is on, and sometimes it dips badly if I've been at a light for a while. (I've gotten a few clues from reading some of the great posts around here, though!) Now to find the AIC valve...

For some reason, the rear brake pads went out a lot sooner than the fronts, (fronts still had plenty of pad) and I had to replace the rears at about 65k. The car has had a minor pull to the right ever since, but it's not any more excessive when breaking????) Weird. Anyone ever heard of the rear pads going out first?

Anyway, other than the routine maintenance, and the few oddities I've mentioned, I've never had a problem with it, and trust it to take me anywhere without a thought. Best car I've ever owned, and made me a believer in Honda.
