1986 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"It looks good, but has a poor engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first thing that happened to the car was it began to stall while idling.
I brought it to a Honda specialist to fix it. I had some vacuum leaks fixed and a PVC valve replaced which cost me about $100. Then it began to stall again and the battery would die. I had it looked at again and discovered that the alternator was bad. So that was replaced. I figured everything was all
right after that. Then it would not start.
General comments?
This car looks good on the outside and the engine looks good, but it has so many mechanical problems.
I don't know when it's going to ever work right again.
