Not one thing!!! This is definitely not a Ford...
I bought this as a cheap college car, and it has now become my cheap work car. There is no way I can rationalize getting rid of it. I drive it daily and am constantly amazed at how it just keeps going and going without a problem. It runs and drives like a car with half the miles. It is not a rocket by any means, or a chick magnet, but the MPG is in the mid 30's, and it has never let me down.
Highly recommended.
Hell yeah! I got a 88 accord too. just got my brake thing fixed and my A/C.
I don't understand how these Hondas are getting 30 MPG. I have the same car. A 1988 Honda Accord LXi, 2 door. I have given it a tune up, put in engine treatments and babied it. And I still only get 20 MPG tops!!! What can I do to get better gas mileage. E-mail me at eminmtsslp@aol.com
Well my accord is getting around 28-30 MPG. Do you drive with the AC on a lot? That seems to suck a lot of horses from these little Honda's. That's one thing you have to consider and also make sure your getting the right air flow through the engine and that there are no vacuum leaks that will cause poor gas mileage. You also might try replaceing the PCV valve there only a couple of dollars. Good luck.
I have a 1987 Honda Accord, It runs great... but it has 191,000 miles... anyone know what I can do to keep this thing alive??? Because I love this car.
How to keep your Honda alive, do like I do. My car is an '87 Accord LX, 5 speed manual, 326,000km. Change the engine oil every three months, air filter at least once a year; add injector/ carb cleaner to the tank at every oil change; flush coolant at least once every other year, and use "hi- mileage" motor oil 10W30, also helps to use an additive such as Lucas oil supplement during the summer months- engine will not burn a drop of oil. Do this steadfastly and the engine will outlast the car.
