1998 Accord EX V6 w/ 265k. No priors on this issue. Very sudden for
about a week now. Not overwhelming. Nothing 'visible' in engine
compartment (such as a fuel leak 'stain'). Nothing on ground under
car. No odor when going out in morning/cold start, etc. Odor
presents to me after parking/idling and exiting the car. Also
noticeable when backing down a driveway with door open to see where
I'm going. I do have the basic and V6 Helms on this car. I see the
components, etc. What are my likely culprits to address/inspect first
with regards to the vapors. Canister forward of Driver Rear Wheel?
Thanks, dudes!

Fuel return line is rusted-out. That should be just inboard of the driver's
rear wheel, covered by a plastic shield.

98 Accord again. The 'skin' on my...and many others'...headlight
lenses has flaked/failed and come off. And not recently. I noticed
it at least 7 years ago. Was told this was a mandated 'anti-glare'
coating by the DOT or similar. Either way: tons of fix-it kits and
polishing compounds sold for this everywhere. Any hope for the Hondas
with aftermarket remedies? Or just new lenses? Thx.

The kits work very well.

My driver side fan runs with the A/C always...also runs after shut-off
for the requisite 5-10 minutes. Never seen the right-side fan
run...esp now that I'm looking for it. I'm having intermittent near-
overheating episodes. But once the guage starts to climb and I dump
the A/C and goto full HEATER on HI...that guage drops like a hot rock
back to normal! And I mean in a matter of 10-15 seconds! Any engine
overheating due to damage/lubrication and block/head heat will not
move the guage from Critical to Normal just by introducing the heater
core circulation. So it has to be more local, right? And no, I
haven't invaded the coolant circuit for a year or so...and it's full.
It has been bled-out. Sensor? T-stat? That other fan? Thanks
dudes!

The rad fan (the right one) has two temperature and/or timer switches. One
of them is bad. I /think/ there are two of them, and not just one.

You said earlier you have the Helms manual for the car. Go to the A/C
section and you should find the switches' locations and how to test them.

what tegger says on the thermo-switches.

but also consider the possibility of the head gasket going as being the
root of the overheating. [bubbles/foam in the coolant lower its density
and significantly reduce cooling capacity.]

i say this because your other fuel smell when reversing comment could be
that aromatic odor from when a little coolant has leaked into a cylinder
head overnight. and because head gasket is a common honda failure that
often goes undetected for a considerable period. the open deck honda
block means you just get gas in the coolant, you don't get much coolant
loss [until it's getting really bad] and you don't get oil in the
coolant or vice versa.

with the motor at full temperature and running, look in the coolant
expansion bottle. if you observe any bubbling, it's definitely head
gasket. you can confirm this with a chemical test if you want too.

if it ends up being gasket, i recommend a few of important things.

1. don't use abrasives in clean-up. even if you hose everything off
afterwards, it's next to impossible to remove tiny abrasive particles
from metal surfaces, and those inevitably end up circulating the system
causing significant premature wear.

2. try not to skim the head unless it's actually warped. and warping on
honda heads is rare. use gasket remover [chemical] and a razor blade
[thin, flexible] scraper at a shallow angle to avoid damaging the head
surface for clean-up. i've never yet seem a shop skim a head to the
same finish as oem. the small grooves they leave from the milling head
are small leakage channels - the head will be fine for a short while,
but will quickly start to leak again. avoid avoid avoid.

3. for the new gasket, i recommend "mls" [multi layer steel]. it's the
only solution that can begin to address the root cause of gasket failure
- the fact that there is small elastic distortion at the block/head
interface, and a gap tends to open up at the point furthest from the
head bolts. a [properly designed and made] "variable thickness" mls
gasket is the only solution that can address this since milling a head
or a block to be anything other than flat is impractical. [it works
like the bowed bed of a big rig trailer that ends up flat when loaded.]

4. when tightening head bolts, torque in the honda steps and sequence,
but go around at the final torque several times, paying particular
attention to the center two bolts. also use a bending beam wrench, not
a clicker. honda head bolts tend to be sticky, even when cleaned and
lubed [it's the aluminum/steel thing] and clicker wrenches sometimes
release on stickiness leaving a low torque. they also tend to creep
around, so again, torque and hold with the bending beam and follow it
around.

hth.

I sent copies of your posts to my neighbor, and she wants me to
replace the relay with a Honda relay, which she's going to buy before
the weekend. (Her car has run okay since last Saturday.)

I'm concerned about two things.

1) In the 2001 EX is it obvious how to take off the panel in front of
the relay? Are there screws visible or is there some hidden latch?
Can you give me a clue where to start? Does it relate to the fuse
box? Her fuse box cover she took off -- it is big but on the side of
the dash and only visible when the driver's door is open.


2) I read one guy's story on the web who couldn't get the relay out of
its bracket. He'd already unplugged the connector and tested the new
relay, but couldn't get old relay out to do a nice looking job. The
one in the pictures from your webpage bolted on, but if this 2000 EX
is one that clips on, is there a trick to getting it out.


If this were my own car, I'd just keep at these things or die trying,
but I don't want her thinking half-way through shat she made a mistake
in letting me do this. Even if I finish it an hour or two later and
it's perfect. .

Thanks again.
