Dads New 1989 Honda Accord Project! Carb Problems

[@sona11111111]

Literally just bought the exact same car, looking forward to the next video!

[@TheGerbsteve]

Whenever he decides to work on it again. We have so many projects, but I'll keep you posted. Such a cool car, shifter feels amazing haha.

[@FaridAldaween-wg1jn]

I need a carburetor ad a fuel pump for the car 🥺🥺

[@melo__0]

ever found luck finding a carb I got a 1986 model LX

[@bluecar5556]

It's already the great looking red interior with a manual transmission. I've had many of these. Never anger the vacuum hose spaghetti monster. At least with a manual, when it eventually gets a vacuum leak, a high idle won't force you into a 3K neutral drop. If it was my car, I would do the PGM-FI conversion and have the most reliable honda ever made. This includes the fourth gen accords as well. Rock solid vehicles.

[@averyalexander2303]

Isn't the 4th gen Accord generally considered more reliable than the 3rd gen since they are all fuel injected and they don't normally have transmission problems? I haven't heard of too many issues with either automatic, but I have heard of the manual 3rd gen having a lot of problems with 5th gear going out. Also, for whatever reason, there seem to be a LOT more 4th gens left than 3rd gens, meaning parts are much more readily available for the 4th gen. I still see 4th gens driving around occasionally and a lot in junkyards, but I don't even remember the last time I saw a 3rd gen in traffic, almost certainly not within the last 10 years.

I work with alot of these i found out the carb intake pipes in the back be crack and make you think the carb is bad trust me doe it the intake carb pipes in the very back tfs

Thanks for this.

Mine does the same thing but idles high when warmed up. And idles way low almost stalling when I’m gear and foot on brakes.

[@chefohm812]

Have you figured it out yet? Mines the same way

[@georgeh.7087]

I have the same car, adjusting the carburetor usually requires hunting down an old Honda technician with experience in the "procedure" required. Those carbs aren't for the faint of heart but run great when tuned right and usually get 30 mpg. Let me know if he figures it out though.

[@TheGerbsteve]

My dads been messing with it. He can't seem to figure it out. I think he's going to have a buddy who knows carbs fix it for him.

[@sonectan6562]

When turning the mixer screw to the right for lower or higher idle?

[@nvgreengo]

@@TheGerbsteve your day ever figure it out?

[@grzesiekk0]

Do you still have the car? Did you figure it out. Check idle cut off valve wire - mine broke two year ago. I just done 400k mile major maintenance - it's good for another 100k miles.

[@TheGerbsteve]

My dad has it, but it’s been parked this whole time. I wanted to purchase it from him, but I don’t want to deal with anything that’s carbureted

[@milkyfreshmusic]

Hi! My 88 accord has low iddle when engine is cold and vibrates. When the car is turned on, it acelerates automatically to 2krpm but after that it gets low idle until the engine fully warms up. Any help please??

[@EldelosStrepeers]

x2

[@xaviermccloud4586]

That's weird. Normally the engine will Idle at around 2k to 2.2k and after you press gas it will drop to 1.2k when warmed up.

[@arturotorres1840]

Make more videos of this car plz I'm in a little bit of a mess with mine

[@TheGerbsteve]

I’ll have to ask my pops when he plans on working on it again

[@jamessirojr5827]

You guys should just convert to a Weber carb easier to work on

[@TheGerbsteve]

As of today, it's for sale. I was like you're going to regret it. He has so many projects and no time haha

[@chrismc410]

Wouldn't finding a fuel injection model at a junkyard and moving the needed parts to the carbureted car?

[@xaviermccloud4586]

Just found a 1989 accord Dx, carbureted with 67,421 original mileage. Should I buy or stay away

[@bluecar5556]

Run as fast as your legs can carry thee. Better yet, convert to weber carb or find a LX-I and do a PGM-FI swap. Even better, if it's an auto and you do a manual swap, it would be one of the most reliable honda's ever made like the forth gen accords.

[@danielswansinger261]

I've got the same issue with my 89 Accord. I'm wondering, did you gents ever get this fixed? Also, if you don't mind, what were the parts you ordered off of rock auto? Thanks!

[@TheGerbsteve]

He never fixed it, tried, but it is still acting up. He ended up ordering some carb gasket that fits right under the carb. Not sure what it's called, but i can ask him.

[@grzesiekk0]

@@TheGerbsteve Got '89 with 380k miles on it. It started acting like yours last year. I just increased the idle rpm (black knob behind the carb). The problem went away couple weeks later so I lowered the rpm back. Check the PVC and vacuum lines for cracks.

[@jairomurillo3797]

@@grzesiekk0how tf i didnt think of that 😔

[@AbdulRafay-mq3rg]

Hi how can we adjust the rpm on this model

[@eliezerlua6350]

What I did for mine was move the distributor until the rpm is lowered
