Anybody had trouble with a Honda "lemon"?

Well Honda called today and said they may have found the problem that the old "computer" didn't pick up. The service adviser said it was an air-fuel sensor which I am assuming it was the MAF. I was told on Friday that these cars had diagnostics systems on the computers like no tomorrow. My fat ass they do. As much as it was skipping, you would have though the computer would have picked up on this and threw a check engine light. But we will see what happens tomorrow when I get it back. Ill be really surprised if that was the problem.

Why would you be so suprized?
I've seen a dandelion seed on a CRV MAF which prevented the car from doing anything other than idle.

I thought the new cars all had wideband o2 sensors? Hmmm.....

But anyway, got it back on Thursday. I guessed it right. It still skips, but worse this time. And now I have an engine bay rattle thats god awful and it skips at around 45mph in o/d now and at the same 4500rpm.

why the fuck are you driving it at 4500?

Also, I took my 90 CB to the dealer to have the seat belts replaced. They told me they no longer make the seat belts but are trying to find some as we speak. If they can't find my seat belts, they will go to the junkyard and find good ones. What are yalls opinion on what they have told me?

Honda having no replacement is not your fault.
If they do offer lifetime warranty on seat belts, they should provide you with new ones. Accepting JY belt is should not be your option.

Re-webbing on seat belts does not cost all that much. I had lap belts on a customer's aircraft re-webbed by an FAA certified repair station. IIRC, it costed me $50 per seat + shipping. Honda shall be able to take care of that,,,,.
