sorry guys its long i have alot of problems but i wanna take care of the now that i can possibly get another car while i fix this one
history: 93 accord
(Felpro) head gasket 4/2010 with new head bolts from honda
intake gaskets and throttle body gaskets replaced car was still overheating after head job and idling erratically, mechanic was not sure of problem so sent to an electrician who ran the fans straight so they only turn off when the car is completely off (really didnt have much money nad needed car to get to and from work), thermal sensor in head replaced 4/2010. fuel filter 3/2010 air filter, new spark plugs(NGK), new plug wires (duralast) not sure if they connect all the way in the plug well should i return them? new o2 sensor7/2010 the misfire issue i was having 6/2010 cleared up after the plugs and wires but returned next day i checked the dizzy its good (11/2009 bought rebuilt one) the dizzy plug is kinda messed up but still connected all the way. so far its been four days since the new plugs have been in and they are completely black and a little greasy.
the important stuff
from reading here i already know that my o2 sensor, and iacv works just fine, i set the base idle but engine does not idle steady until about 15min afer startup and it shuts off if you dont rev the engine alot in the first 10min of starting, so it idles kinda steady at 600-700 RPM after 15minutes of hard driving or revving til it warms up to normal temperature. the egr valve was cleaned 7/7/10 and egr gasket replaced but engine does not shut off when egr vac hose is kinked, should it? should gas be coming out of the BOTTOM part of the FPR? if there is really something wrong with my dizzy plug that i didn't see yet can it cause a misfire? there is a small oil leak from the timing belt side of the eng (new time belt 4/2010) do you guys think it is the felpro gasket or did that mechanic not do a good job? there is not alot of power like it should be during drive it knocks real hard, i know i have alot of work to do like eng mounts (all four), full suspension
throttle body cleaned thoroughly 7/3/10 fans and a/c did not work after this tested the relays by switching out the power window relay, then tested the fans by making manual connections with a wire on the fuse box with the relay taken off the fans work one at a time, ac powers on with this test too but ac light does not come on. i don't know how to test the blower motor fuse it looks funny kinda green in the connector, the radio speakers go in and out sometimes when i open the driver side door.
Guys: I am really here cause i like this car but i dont want to work on it for the next year and then it dies am thinking bout selling it real cheap though i already put like 1500 into it over the past year, cant spend alot in it right now maybe $300 should i call it quits?
am tired of loosing money to the mechanics, is it possible to do most of this myself ?
