agreed...two of my motor mounts were gone when i got my 1990 and im tihnking the rear one is starting to go out as well.
when egr ports are clogged, you will feel a stutter from 1500-2k rpms...so i dont think this would be your problem but shouldnt be too hard to clean.

cleaning the IAC mesh screen is hella easy: two 12mm bolts, use from carb/throttle body cleaner, spray the screen a bit and use a q-ip to remove the grime. it is supposed to look shiny afterwards, not black
then just let it dry a bit.

Yes Right Hand Drive, I live in Australia so driving on the left hand side of the road is strongly recommended.

My new car is beautiful!

I bought it over the net in another city 1000km away (600miles). It was strange seeing the car i had already bought for the first time, but i was very happy with it....it's so quite!

Cheers,
Michael.

Default Steering Question

Hi, Im sorry i dont no how to start a new thread..but here is my question.

My Honda Accord V6 98 seems to have rather heavy steering, i have read lots of reviews that say this is the case so i am quite certain my steering is functioning as designed. In a review they were discussing a new type of valve that operates the system based on the torsion. Is this adjustable?

Cheers,
Michael

(Also how do you start a thread?)...Admin feel free to move this post.
