What’s up Scotty
@@the_official_jaydo hey!
@@scottykilmer I love your videos
Hey Scotty great Vid! I got a 93 and 95 civic dx made in Japan Great cars all original parts so far~ Remain positive and vigilant
Blur the plate!
Hi Scotty, I have a 1998 Honda Prelude with 437,000 miles on it. Still runs great and AC blows Ice Cold! Long live Honda's and Toyota's!
if we really were worried about this degrading world the only car that has the volume and 25 years old running still we would all be driving hondas 30 years ago BASIC MATH hug this! typically in 25 years the average person would have had 5 other cars in this time pile that up on your lawn tree huggers what have you been doing all this time counting cars.....
@@rexxx927 I'm a tree hugger...have a 99 civic dx (bought 2013) w 189k mi and see no reason to replace it
@@ooulalah4333 fabulous i like trees but i like hondas and two strokes more cheers! IC another 100K in your future lol
Finally beat!! I have a 98 accord 407,000. Keep it moving 😀! Update 1yr later 452kmi
My friend has a 1991 Prelude taught me everything about manuals on that car has half a million miles on it still has the functioning pop up headlights and 4wheel steering they are bullet proof!!
That engine was built on the assembly line while I was an engineer there. I was responsible for many of the parts and vendors for both I4 and V6 engines then. Glad to see it running! Side note, the EGR's, A/C generators, Gaskets, P/S pumps, wheel bearings, etc. were a part of the scope of vendors I managed. Loved working for Honda!
I actually designed it.
I gave Birth to the designer
Look..... Your initials are on it! LMAO
Is that an F22B engine?
I know someone who bought 2001 accord sedan, 5 speed (brand new). She sold it in 2015 with 227k miles, and didn't have any major problems. Great engineering!
I still see TONS of these Honda Accords 1998-2002 still running in our streets in Canada. Kudos to Honda!

Bought a 1999 Honda Civic 1.4I sedan with 153k kilometers few weeks ago, every single thing works, even the AC. It's so nice to drive.
i had a '96 civic with 490K miles. auction car, $200 bucks. got a key from Honda for 8 dollars, and changed a single spark plug wire. that car ran like a champ. i still own my ''88 crx. 400K miles, runs like it's 1989 today.😃 45MPG calculated if i drive conservatively...even with this corn crap in the gas nowadays. oh, with the a/c on of course. Florida.
wish I would have kept one of my rex's, the HF one got amazing mpg but the SI's were soooo fun, giant go carts basically. 👍

My sister just got a new car and gave m her 2007 honda accord. It has 187,000 miles. It had broken engine mounts, a leaking radiator at the top and air conditioner had to be recharged. Other than that it runs great now.

0 to 60 in 2 weeks. Lol, nice one
Love it!
@@ewetoobblowzdogg8410 oh yeah… congratulations. !! There fun cars. Believe me. !!
I have a 2002 Honda Civic. It's still running great with original parts.
Ditto on a 2003
Had a 2001 accord ran great until someone stole the cat ...aftermarket cat threw codes and then would not pass smog check ...damn cat thieves made $30 while i lost $5000 dollars from not being able to sell
Same 2000 Civic 1.6 running strong 210k miles no check engine lights
I have a 2002 Honda Civic as well. Great car but I’ve had the transmission changed out twice
had a 94 ex vtec awesome little car, sold it a while back with 245 k as i needed a truck for working. wish is still had it 5spd, black, sunroof. invincible little car
I had this accord as my first car but 5 speed and the jdm version of the f23a and vtec was pretty fun , this guys wasn’t kicking in sadly but still runs smooth. Now I have a 98 prelude and did basic maintenance on pretty much everything and I love it
I've looked up that 98 civic and you can still buy heater parts. There is only one motor controlling the blend door. it's still available for 190.00 You could also just bypass it and let the cool air through. The heater core control valve is just cable actuated and can be easily replaced. If it has too much r134 in it the pump will shut off. removing the excess gas will probably get the pump cycling again. I've owned civics for about 15 years, lots of parts available and I'm sure that ac can be repaired for not alot of money. You can buy one of these used with low miles for less than you can buy the wheels off a modern car. I get 32mpg on the highway.
I have a 2000 honda Accord SE and got it when it was 124k back in '10 as the second owner and man this car I swear this engine can't die. It's been through everything and every time the new car breaks or something happens this honda always is reliable to get us around. It just past 260k miles and still going very strong. Best 4k ever spend
Congratulations you drive a slow clunker.
@@keithbellair9508 was he trying to have a race car or an accord?
@@keithbellair9508 but you like Ford Escapes 😂
Best cars ever! Two of my friends had 99 Accords, both are still on the road, neighbor just acquired a 2000 V6 Accord used, from a Grandpa owner, 39 K original miles. Runs like a dream. New tires, battery, other rubber pieces only.
Talked to a driver coming out of his Honda Insight, 2010 model. Still running great at 219K, has had to replace the main battery and hybrid battery, but said he wouldn’t trade it for anything, bought it brand new and keeps it garaged.
Yep - one of my mechanic's loner-cars is a 2000 Accord, 4 cyl. I think it has 280,000km on it, but has lived a hard life in Ontario, yet, still looks good, still drives perfect. Very resilient cars - especially given the winters we have here.
Saskatchewan gets it worse in the winter hehe
@@donovonantonio2103 Very true!

@@rsrs6959 These days, VERY. The shop I go to has been an independent since 1953, one of very few left that's honest. But... honest does sell - they don't advertise by anything but word of mouth, and they are solidly booked.
@@donovonantonio2103 how worse, cant beat the maritime weather. Maybe it's the extreme cold that you guys have.
I currently own a 2007 Honda Civic. I bought it used with 138k for $3800 about 5 years ago. I have only had to replace the brakes, tires and oil. She now has 295,000 on her and still runs the same as the day I bought it. Honda owners are usually Honda owners for life and my little Honda has taught me why.

I had this very same car(1998 accord) between 2005 and 2014. A/C stopped working at 130k miles due to climate control module. I had bought one from junkyard for $50 and it fixed the issue. A/C kept working with no misses after that. I always loved driving the accord. It was very comfortable. I didn't not have any issue with the car until we sold it at 225k miles.
I had a 98 4 cylinder. Brought it brand new. Same problem. I would still want this problem instead of an engine or transmission.
@@toddsmith1617 So true. A nuisance vs not getting to work or something.
My 2007 Civic hasn't had a single problem. I change the oil every year. I took it in at every maintenance cycle. Had all the belts changed, trans emptied (not flushed), plugs changed. I just turned 80K miles and get 33MPG just running around. Drove to Florida a cpl of years ago and got 40MPG highway. Why would I ever get rid of this car? The only thing I think will need changing might be the rear shocks. A/C still cold. No one believes its 15 yrs old.
A 2007 with 80k miles. You don't drive it much
Trans emptied? You mean you got the trans oil changed? The way you keep it maintained it may last another 15 years or even longer. Good luck.
@@vanderumd11 not at all much. I must agree. I drive a 2004 Corolla 80 miles a day. I would achieve that in 2 and a half years
That's good stuff. The value of it must be insane with those low miles but I would keep it forever too. I had an '06 with 165k and absolutely loved it. Always did maintenance on time and never had a single issue. Unfortunately I totalled it a long time ago but would love another one day.
@@vanderumd11 I have a 2006 TL with 93k ... and it's PURRRRFECT. And the A/C works perfectly, too ... it's a CA car, and the HVAC system has been set to 72º since I bought the car in '06 ... so that compressor has been on and off every week fo the entire 15 years. I think that's part of the secret ... turn the A/C on every week, let it get cold, then turn it off if you don't need it. Keeps everything moist and lubricated.
Cash for clunkers was made to destroy cars that last over 200k miles. These newer cars with the GDI systems are total junk and use all plastic parts that last maybe 100k if you're lucky. You pay twice as much also. I see a gloomy future for all of us blue collar guys.
Agree 100%. I have a 2005 Pilot with 237K. Bought new. It purrs and shifts like new. Normal wear items like axle shafts,a starter engine mounts etc but it's the original alternator,injectors/a/c,windows,locks all the nagging these. I don't want a new one.
Cash For Clunkers only took vehicles that got 17 mpg or less off the Road . Most Hondas , Toyotas get better mileage so it didnt affect them . But older American made cars like Buick Roadmasters , Impalas , Crown Vics etc were targeted . A lot of cool cars got destroyed because of that program .
Eventually everyone will be forced to buy EV's ! In the near future !
@@wiz4020 Naw , I aint buying a golf cart just cause YOU think I need to ..lol
@@jayhockley8841 Depended on your area. Where I was there were brand new cars, legendary vans, and legendary gas sippers getting crushed for cash for clunkers just because someone wanted a new shiny. I watched a 1978 civic go that looked like an old special order. It was black with gold pinstriping. It had a moonroof and the rear side windows were paneled and had bubble windows installed. Still ran. Unfortunately, I was in like 8th grade and my mom wouldn't let me try and talk the dude into letting me buy it. I'm almost certain he was the type who would've taken a pack of beer for it since it was "the spare car that sat under a tree in the yard"
Bought my 2000 accord LX new in Oct 1999. Transmission just went at 220,000 miles. Found a used transmission and had it installed for $1300. Hope to get another another 100,000 miles.
Hi Scotty. My wife thinks i"m an automotive genius. She doesn't know I got my stuff from you while I'm down in my cave going through your youtube uploads.
I had a ‘99 CR-V with 362,000 miles on it. It was my daily driver until the head gasket let go. To me It wasn’t worth fixing, so I gave it to a friend who ended up fixing it and he still drives it!
Tim??? It's at 379k now!
@@SethWilliams11 Wow! Takes a licking and keeps on ticking! How many CR-V's do you have now?
Still two. My wife's black '98 rarely gets driven anymore though. She got a new Toyota last year. I'll stick to the older, simpler vehicles. Toyota has a good reputation too, but who knows if it will go as far as the white crv!
@@SethWilliams11 I imagine Bobbie would rather show the baby off in a new car anyway! BTW, my son Brian had a baby girl in July. Our first grandchild! Her name is Sophie and she is the first grandchild on both sides of the family. We will definitely spoil her rotten!
Congratulations!!
My 2003 Honda Civic Lx lasted till 240k with no replacement except radiator due to accident. That thing would’ve gone to 500k had I not gotten into an accident. Best car I ever had.
Currently still got my 03 civic. Rust is pretty bad on it but it just passed 241,000 and going strong! Have now had a car payment since 08!!!👊👊🍺🍺👍👍👍

The D17 had head gasket issues. Every one of them eventually overheats and blows coolant out of the overflow tank
My first car was an 01 accord v6. High trim with leather. Absolutely loved that car
95 Honda Accord 5 spd manual. Still original spark plug wires, alternator, power steering pump, cat, 02 sensor, A/C compressor. I replaced the clutch, front rotors and pads, master cylinder, radiator, timing belts and water pump. I upgraded the shocks to Tokico gas shocks. I do all my own maintenance and wrenching. Synthetic oil and Honda's MTL for the tranny. It has 200,000 miles, and crossed the USA 3x, and survived New England and Montreal winters. It is the most reliable car I've ever owned. Makes my ex Audi and ex BMW look like shitbox basket cases.
I have a 1993 Honda accord 10th anniversary edition with 378000 miles. My wife's mother bought it new. My wife gave it to me. I use it for work. Fixed the ac. Got to have in Florida. I overheated it, my fault. Got a cylinder head from the junk yard for 100 dollars. Put 15000 miles a year on it. Looking forward to 400000.
2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan with 262K no Engine or Transmission issues. Transmission built in Japan. Final Assembly Point: Alliston, Ontario Canada. Love the car still...
Still driving my 1998 Civic DX (base model) manual locks and hand crank windows. Original owner. Cosmetically rough with small dents, torn bumper, worn seats, sagging headliner but after 250,000 miles but still runs great.
Almost forgot the theft deterrent manual transmissions 🙂
Same here 99 civic
Yes, me too! 98 DX manual - original owner. Love, love, love this car!!
Suggestion for possibly hacking the AC: Do as you said; direct wire toggle and fuse to ac compressor; and ALSO install a manual gate valve or a solenoid valve in the supply-side heater hose to stop warm water from flowing to the heater core.
93 Accord coupe with 400k miles for me, I'm a new owner of the vehicle and have been doing basic repairs here and there but it is still running strong!
Had my 93 5speed accord coupe stolen and wrecked 😫😢
400 k miles.,congratulations indeed. I want to arrive to 300k miles in my honda jazz. Now with 160k miles
I miss my 93 accord SE 😔 Wanted to get a new car but nothing has been quite like that beauty
Oh yeah.. I have a 1989 Honda Civic with 3 hundred thousand miles on it.. best car I ever had. !! Awesome cars.
I love my 2005 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 with Vtec. I have 156k miles on it and the car still runs like a dream. It has outlasted my 2008 Ford F150 Harley truck, 2007 BMW X5, 2009 Cadillac SRX, and it looks like it's going to outlast my wife's current 2012 GMC Terrain SLT 2.4. I'm never going to let this car go. I do however plan on buying a Honda Ridgeline truck within the next 2 years. I use Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase and gas tank to keep my 05 Accord humming along nicely.
Scotty you really are the shop teacher I never had but wish I did. Love all ur videos
There are no modules on that for heat. Check the water valve - often the cable will come off or the valve is break. Then it will allow coolant into the heater core all the time. The water valve is in the engine bay in line with the heater core hoses. You were so close to finding it at the end of the video haha
I sold a 1990 accord 20 years ago with 240,000 miles and still running like a champ
I would love to have my 1991 honda accord back. Car was bullet proof. Now I'm driving 2019 honda crv oil dilution and no heat in winter stop and go driving. Stay far away from the 1.5 if you drive in cold weather.
the Accord 1.5 uses shutters that shut air out from radiator and engine so it will warm up quickly. The CRV does not have them? They take forever to warm up in cold for sure.
Id think you would have had it fixed under warranty
I have a 2001 Honda accord and the same happened with the AC button and all I did was get a control module from the junk yard and it works perfectly
I got my dad's 2004 Accord LX when he could no longer drive. Currently at 92k miles. Always garaged. Zero rust. The only problems I've had is the plastic button on the gear shift knob sheared off. The part is under $10. And, the original radio makes a popping noise and goes out. I bought an aftermarket touch screen. I've just gotta get it installed.
I have had at least one Honda in my family for the last 45 years. They have all been very dependable cars, much better then any American car that I have owned. I’m sorry to say that ,but it’s the truth.

Oil changes when needed, brake jobs, tires, a couple batteries and that’s about it. They don’t build them like they used to at all. Mom liked her 1992 accord better than the 2002. Most new cars are poorly engineered to work on too. Other than Hondas engines and transmissions everyone else is about on par these days. Drive what you want and just maintain it. The best Hondas are on two wheels ✌️ 🏍

Im In TN as well! Got an '06 Honda civic that's been sitting in my driveway for the last 4 years due to a snapped throttle cable (did a quick fix to get it home) but havent messed with it since, until last week. I decided to charge the battery and inflate the tires, lo and behold it started right up with no issues! test drove up n down the driveway but thats as far as i was willing to go. I was planning on ordering a new throttle cable tomorrow and get to working on it, till i saw your video.....i remember the AC just stopped blowing cold. Now i was thinkin i just needed to refill the freon, but after seeing this, i think i better check THAT before i attempt to fix it. Thanks for the video, you might've just saved me alot of time and money
My dad put 350k on an 89 civic. The body finally fell apart , but the engine still ran and still got close to 30 mpg.
I enjoy my 2006 Honda Jazz 1.5L. It just hit 140 000km. All original parts. The only problem I experienced is the brakes but other than that I'm gonna drive it unit the wheels come off, then watch Scotty's video to restore and rebuild it
Yes! I have a 2003 Accord, 256,000 still runs great. No transmission issues yet, but I paid $2000 for it just before prices went insane. Hoping to keep it going. Clear coat is definitely in rough condition, but at my age, 70, so am I! I like the idea of leaving the paint like it is. I heard I could wipe it down with boiled linseed oil, which I have tried on the trim in places and seems to really last. Any info on whether that’s a bad idea for any reason in general, I realize that on this aging car it probably can’t hurt.
U can sand it and buy 2k clear in spray cans now if u want.

We are on our 2nd 6th generation accord. In 2016, I bought a 2001 EXL 4 cyl with 27k original miles, garage kept, maintained routinely, driven about 1-2k miles a year, and in pristine condition. An absolute rare find, owned by an elderly person. I replaced all belts and hoses (including the timing belt) when I first got it. Today, it is now at 85k miles and only have about $200 in easy DIY repairs since I bought it (including a radiator). It is my wife's daily. I do a drain and fill with Honda DX1 every 10k miles, and maintain everything else like clockwork. I love the 6th gen accords as they are super reliable, easy to work on, and maintain.. these were the golden era of cars without all the unnecessary tech (including annoying TPMS), and craptastic plastic engine parts. I get unsolicitied offers on it all the time, but we will be keeping it for many years to come. My other vehicle is a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 that I have owned since 1999 and progressively kept up with absolutely everything (new headliner, bumper covers, and seat leather bottoms included, complete front end suspension rebuild, etc.). The Jeep is at 190k, and only the oil pan has been dropped to replace the rear main seal, on 3rd water pump, radiator, and starter (all replaced free with lifetime warranty parts as I keep receipts.. In fact, I have replaced the rear window struts 5x over the years for free with my lifetime warranty receipts, and will be doing that with the shocks in a few years LOL).. other than that, the core engine and tranny have been trouble free. Both of our cars are in super excellent condition inside and out, appear to be 5 years old or less, garage kept, and have bluetooth. I will not hesitate to drive either one cross country, and plan on enjoying many more miles from both for years to come. No car payments since 1999.. Live Free or Die!
I'm the original owner of a Japan made ("J" in the Vin#) 1999 Honda Accord LX with manual transmission and 150K miles. I've driven the car so easily that I'm still on the original clutch and....get this....original brake pads (only 20-25% wear) and shoes. I've tracked every single fill up on this car and my average MPG in town is 28 and 34-36 on the highway doing 70MPH. I'm getting sick and tired of shifting after 27 years of driving manual transmissions as a daily drivers though.
my wife's 09 Honda fit 5 spd sport has 205k and still has the original clutch
Early days for us given our 1st Honda has only done 48000 miles in 9 years but it passes its yearly tests without any failures. Reminds me how my father was obliged to fettle his cars every weekend until he bought a Datsun. Never had a moments trouble after that, and he simply knew whatever the journey length he would get there and back.
Milage doesn't mean that much. Cars are meant to go.
I absolutely love watching your videos, Scotty, and have for years! You are a blessing to our world and I hope you know you've helped so many people have a shot at this stuff!
Just bought a 94 Accord VTi AT, I'm it's third owner and it's in immaculate condition for it's age. Everything's original, body and paint is in great condition (Silver with real good clear, original) and it even has the original head unit + 6 cd stacker. vtec hits like a mule and the auto shifts amazing on it. Spark wires have been replaced before and it's up on service, only issue is the speed sensor on it which needs replacing. The B22b1 in it is absolute rock solid, I don't even hear as much as a tick in it, around 200k on the odo before the sensor died with a full service done within the last year.
My 99 crv has 284,000+ miles. The original alternator went out at 281,000. Im not a honda die hard but im a fan of reliability
Great to hear. I have a 2012, has been perfect so far. Do you still have original timing chain/water pump? Trying to plan ahead for that, I'm at 132,000
Reminds me so much of my first car, got it for $1000 and learned to work on cars with it. Worst thing it ever did to me in 3 years was blow a 25 year old water pump gasket and force me to replace the long overdue timing belt. A few months later a snowplow blew a red light and totaled it, the insurance payout was more than I'd spent total on the car and 2 years of maintenance so I made a profit on it getting totaled. Missed it so much I got an old 5 speed Acura CL and sold the newer civic I got in between. The 15 year old civic was significantly less reliable than the 25 year old accord, and the Acura has been dead reliable for over 2 years, the AC even works.
Civics are crap. Accord is the way to go.
Hey I just bought a 5 speed 99 acura cl. Any tips for it? Everything works on it, no engine codes, ac is good. Transmission is good but we are replacing the master cylinder here soon cuz it leaks. Other than that no real problems. Anything you'd say to keep it running as long as ppssible?
@Ekkaisara change the oil and fluids when required.
My ‘98 accord made it 280,000 miles and got 35 mpg with the 5spd. Best car ever.
I have a 2001 Honda Accord that is my daily driver. I believe I had the same problem with my AC about two years ago. It would only blow hot air and the AC wouldn't turn on. The lights didn't work to show that it was going from heat to AC. Turns out my AC climate control unit was bad. Apparently, those AC control units are notorious for failing after 20 years (although that's pretty good when you think about it; it is a very old car). I actually found a new one online. It cost about 300 dollars. I installed it myself as they are really not hard to install; at least mine wasn't. The AC has worked perfectly ever since. I believe they still sell the needed part online.
I have a 2009 2.4 Liter Honda-Accord with 121K,&still runs like new, looking forward to my Accord going over 300K too❗️
Love to hear all the cool cars all the people in the comments have. Long live these beasts! Im still trucking along in my manual AWD 1998 CRV with a little under 110,000 miles on it. Im the third owner and have only put about 12,000 miles on it after having it for a little over a year now. Just replaced the rack and pinion, and I still need to replace the oil pan gasket. But other than that… that thing runs like a beauty. Pumps AC and heat like no other.
Hearing that "beep beep bebeep" Scotty opened the door made me nostalgic! My first two cars were '90s Accords... Great cars!
Love my Honda's. Had an 04 V6 Accord with 208,000 miles on it, sold it with 250,000 miles within the year. My baby was too old but she was still running. Now I have a 2012 Civic and I'm just in love. Got it with 150,000 miles and didn't hesitate because I knew it would be a good car. All I do is change the oil, rotate the tires, and it keeps running. 😇
My wife bought a new 2010 CRV and would not trade for anything. I change oil and filter every 4,000 miles replaced tires once ,replaced battery once and replaced front wheel brake pads recently. That is all . We are very happy with it. Can't match a Honda.
My 2002 Accord has 405,000 miles. Just did the timing belt and water pump. Runs perfectly, original alternator, A/C compressor. The clutch has been replaced and the fuel pump went out. A stunningly great vehicle and the best money I’ve ever spent.
Not far behind you. My 2010 Pilot has 379,000
@@netdoctor1 hello have you made any major repairs in that range?
@@LightSkinBadiee alternator twice. Cooling fan on the passenger side of the radiator. Some work last December on the dashboard to get the airflow corrected from floor to windshield. Tires, brakes, oil, changes, shock, absorbers. Beyond that, pretty much everything is original. Engine, transmission, front suspension. Exhaust. Catalytic converter output is low, but here in Ohio, they don’t force me to have that documented.

Happy Honda Honcho! Keith B. Keep up the great work Scotty!👍
I had one of those myself. Got it to 279K miles, and undoubtedly would have gone a lot farther if some stoner hadn't pulled out of the parking lot for the local pot shop without looking and smashed in the front fender and bumper. Although the damage wasn't all that severe, it was enough for insurance to total it anyway. Go figure. And, yes, I did have to replace the A/C compressor and condenser a few years before. Cost me around $1,600.00.
I have a 94 Civic with 371k leaks a little oil but that's about it. Love my Civic. Change oil and timing belts.
Had a 96 accord ,odometer went at about 630,000 miles. Still ran great ,didn't smoke ,started everyday ,even had the original clutch. The only issue, was the NJ winters. Their over salting rutted the under carage away. Miss that car...
WOW!
I had a 2001 Accord 4 cylinder -same model as this one. Everything worked until 196K when the transmission went out. I had done a drain and fill on the transmission fluid ( Honda fluid ) every 15,000 miles like clockwork. Broke my heart.
just new trans needed. my friend's Civic went to 600+ k miles but 3rd transmission before he sold it.

I acquired a 97 Civic sedan with a manual transmission, and absolutely love it! The one thing that really strikes me is how the original stock suspension handles perfect, including the bumps on the road with 157,000 miles. I only had to replace the brake light switch, and from just looking up parts I discovered how cheap they are!
Im planning on buying one, any major fix? What was the most expensive thing you had to replace/work on?
@@borisbarriasHaven't had to replace anything major. I looked up parts online, like clutch kits, radiators ect.......Beer money. And any experienced mechanic can work on them with their eyes closed.
Smart little tool you got there, to try what happens when you connect electricity to the unit. Thx for sharing.
Really good couple of videos. Explained really well. Pretty confident of doing this job now. I know it was a while ago but where they out by much and do you know how long the interval was?
I have a 2009 Honda civic and I opted to get a paint job (at my local maaco) because of the paint problem and the price of cars today. Love the car, it's my third Honda. not many problems although I heard a slight sound going uphill from drivetrain, brought it to a mechanic and they said I needed a transmission, I took the car back and i changed the transmission fluid while adding something to help declog the filters inside. It's still ok I'm going to drive until it's a real problem just not drive any long distance for now. I'm not sure how long the transmission will last but I'll see. My ac doesn't work either but I just roll down the windows when it's hot, no biggie.
Scotty. Love your videos. I also have a Honda Civic. 1999 to be exact. I was actually able to find a mechanic to fix my A/C by bypassing the switch on the compressor. Cost me about $150. Years later, it still works. Problem I have, is I don't see A/C as being some kind of joke luxury item, especially in hot states. Being poor, and trying to get to work with an old car, with no A/C, is frustrating. Sort of disappointed you weren't able to fix it. Surely someone can fix this A/C issue without costing a fortune.
compressor was bad too. grinding and almost stalling the motor.... $300-$700 just for the part, freeon would have to be drained before removing compressor (recycled) and top off with new. Plus control board was bad which for that vehicle $$$. had what over 300k miles on it . not worth fixing ac as more or tranny might go..,
Your issue is the compressor. You would be better off getting a newer one that has the newer refrigerant. The older stuff will cost you a small fortune.

Those modules have a part on the circuit board that mess up often and stop the controls. You can sober a bypass and a lot of them will work after that.
You could easily get the ac control panel from a junk yard and charge the ac unit to the correct pressure and fix the ac. And also you didn’t have the high side hooked up. You should always measure both low and high side when checking an ac system
Thanks for being who you are a true honest person!
Scotty. You are like one of family. Ive becone man growing up watching you. Thanks friend.
I had a 2002 Accord from 2020-2022 until the transmission went out. Still got more for it on trade in than I originally paid due to the crazy car market right now lol.
The V6 models transmissions had major problems then. The 4 cylinders were great though. And you are right about BMW and those plastic parts breaking all the time especially anything to do with the coolant system. I’ll never buy another one even though I love the way they look and drive.
1998 through 2006. The design changed completely to a much heavier duty ATM. 32 years in the transmission factory.
I have a 4th gen prelude. Man he's right. Parts are hard to find for it.. 93 prelude si 4ws. Love it!
Back when cars were built to last. Ive got 230k miles on mine(in storage since late 2017). No issues back when it was on the road, no issues now. Hopefully ill get a few years of it as a vintage car too
My first car. 2000 EX 4 door Accord The broken climate controls are *usually* due to a bad trace in the board, there's a thread somewhere online about it you can wire around it if you can solder.
Thanks
I have an civic EG8 from 95 with the D15b2 with 295k km. Still works happily and revs till 7200 with the stock ecu. Amazing cars :D
Also as far as it blowing heat. There's a cable down low right next to the heater hoses. Push the cable off the little control arm and turn the flap to where it's not blowing hot air. Will work.
Nice, Scotty always with the good info 💯👍👍👍
My 97 accord is still original with the most comfortable sests around. The original compressor finally went after 25 years!!!

@@gooby8953 Things cause oil leaks. Could have ran over something. Other times it may not be a true oil leak but the gasket on the oil filter. Oil leaks are hardly a problem.

The problem with that car and the ac would have been the overload backward feed to The control module, when you shorted it across the battery I could hear the engine struggling to power the ac pump, the pump back fed the module thus killing the controls, my guess would be a power transtor failure and or rely ... I would start by disconnecting the AC compressor to the module first... Change the control module fuse if it has one... If not it will be inside the module itself as a 0ohm resistor... Best guess... I bet it all comes back to life if you look into getting the control module and compressor fixed or remanufactured...
Go on KZhead it’s the control module same problem on 99% of them just replace it.

Common issue on the climate control units is they need to have the solder points re-flowed where the harness connects to the circuit board. I had to do that on my 4th and 5th gen preludes. Fixed both.
Great advice, thanks. I hope I can remember it if something goes wrong on my 2002 Accord. Only 118,000 miles and I want to keep it til I die (77 now).
@@SiteReader hope you get many many more years from that thing. Definitely keep this in mind if you have any strange issues. My 4th gen, all the lights were flickering over bumps or just not coming on… on my 5th gen, the climate control was stuck on one vent mode and wouldn’t switch. Easy to pull out and disassemble since I was following a video tutorial.. but didn’t take long at all and both times it worked.
Auto Tech Rescue in Joplin MO can refurbish the climate controls, had them repair one for a customer of mine several years ago and it’s still doin great
My first car was a 93 Accord. I think she had 230000+ miles. Lots of mods. Drove it to Colorado one day to visit my brother. Left it sitting there for almost two years. When I finally went back. On the first try she started right up.
