89 Honda accord Carburetor/fuel delivery problems?
Hi, I have an 89 Honda accord LX. with a carburetor. and I am having some
serious issues with this and they are quite puzzling. ok, ONe day i was driving and it just starts bogging down the car would run but with the gas pedal to the floor it will only go up to in between 1000 - 2000 rpms. my solution to this was getting a new carburetor, but I went and got one from a junk yard and installed it this morning and the problem still occured. before I took the old one off i checked the gas line and cranked it to see if it was pumping any gas, and it pumped gas perfectly. so it cant be the gas pump. I know that one. Any answers or solutions on what I should check would be very appreciated. thanks alot! its the only car I got and im having to bum my mothers car when I need to go places. |

Just because you got gas out of the fuel line, doesn't mean the pump is delivering enough pressure/volume. IIRC, that car has a fuel filter inside the LRear wheel well along with the one in the engine compartment. Did you check those? |

Check and repair the vacuum line to the air diversion damper in the air intake. The carb needs 100+ deg F air in the Winter. Pre-heated air from the exhaust manifold prevents frost and ice build up. This happened to me years ago and a five minute fix was all that was needed. Good luck. |

Bob
had A very similar problem with an 85 carburated accord lx . Check and make sure the stove pipe(the big hose that goes between the exh. manifold and the air cleaner)is intact and in place, and that the vaccum motor that operate the warm air diafragm in the air cleaner is operating the flap so that warm air can reach the carb.(in my case the motor was operating-but the link to the flap got disconnected, so no warm air.) hope this helps JerryR "bob62" > wrote in message alkaboutautos.com>... > Hi, I have an 89 Honda accord LX. with a carburetor. and I am having some > serious issues with this and they are quite puzzling. ok, ONe day i was > driving and it just starts bogging down the car would run but with the gas > pedal to the floor it will only go up to in between 1000 - 2000 rpms. my > solution to this was getting a new carburetor, but I went and got one from > a junk yard and installed it this morning and the problem still occured. > before I took the old one off i checked the gas line and cranked it to see > if it was pumping any gas, and it pumped gas perfectly. so it cant be the > gas pump.

The car has a brand new fuel pump on the car. my brother owned the car
before me about 2 months ago and he has new timing belt, water pump, fuel pump, muffler. all brand new. I took it to cumberland tire. and they couldnt find the problem. they took the old carb off and put the one that was on it back on. and couldnt figure it out. but i talked to my brother and he said he took it to a honda dealer and they put it on a machine and said the carburetor is what the problem is. So I am guessing that both of the carburetors are bad ones. now I ordered one for 400 bucks, now and if that doesnt work then I dont know. thank you alot! |

I may as well put a new fuel filter on it. I didnt check it. a friend
looked at the fuel filter and said it wasnt clogged or anything. It needs new carb anyways. but i will purchase a new fuel filter along with that. and hey, that may be the problem. thanks alot! |
