Acura Legend

trace the lower radiator hose to the engine, that's where the thermostat located.

It has more horse power I think 230 and its a 6 speed manual. They have the Type II engine (Legend GS) that does have 230hp, as opposed to the 200hp in the Legend L and LS. The 4 door sedans were made in 94-95, and I believe the engine was first put into the 2 door Legend coupe in 1993.

My idle was running rough and slight loss of power (5 cylinder engine). The power loss is more noticeable on cars with less cylinders.

On the left side of the brake underneath the dash

you don't. They are hard coded by the little flex circuit attached to the circuit board inside. The flex circuit has 16 positions (actually labelled 1-16) that can be punched out to create different codes. There is a white label on the back of the remote with a number that represents the punched out positions. The reciever in the car has a matching punch code. There is a way to remove the flex circuit and put it into another working remote. It is also possible to change the code on a working remote to match your remote. Both of these require very delicate soldering operations

All 1991-1995 Acura Legends take 22" driver side and 19" passenger side replacement windshield wiper blades. See sources and related links below for more information.

Oil sending unit is way down on the front of the engine, right next to the oil cooler, between the power steering pump and the main crankshaft pulley. There are water hoses for the oil cooler that run right up next to it. The oil sender can be removed with a standard deep socket of the appropriate size, after you disconnect the wire from the top of the sender. This sender is for the oil PRESSURE warning light. There is another one on the Legend that is an oil TEMPERATURE sensor, for the cooling fans to run after a hot engine shutdown. This is a DIFFERENT PART, and is at the very back of the passenger side cylinder head. This one has nothing to do with the oil light though.

Im not quite sure as to what flasher you are speaking of but if its the emergency flashers those are on the dash next to the clock. If you mean high-beam flashers just flick the high beams instead of a full click and it flashes for you.

Started is located on the drivers side on the engine behinde the AC compressor. You will need to raise the car and access it from the bottom (real fun to change)

Depending on the vehicle, lets use a Chevrolet for an example, there is a 2 connecter plug going into the drier/accum. Make a jumper with a short piece of 14 gauge wire and 2 8mm end tips. Place a jumper lead into each hole on the harness side of the connecter. Start the car and carefully moniter pressure. It is possible to damage the compresser by running the system empty, wet or without oil, so make sure you have completed a vacuum test and have an empty system that will pull the freon and oil in quickly. Once you reach normal operating pressures disconnect your jumpers and reinstall the plug. The clutch should cycle on its own now.

Most likely your thermostat has gone bad. Cheap and easy repair. If its white smoke coming out the pipe it may be a head gasket,,the smoke is acutally steam vaporating out the chamber thru the tailpipe...if it starts a second then stops you may have just gotten away from a going bad engine and itsw the thermostat..have it checked..

I have been searching everywhere for just the bushings. It's my understanding from everyone that I have spoke with, even the dealership states you have to buy the whole control arm. Just my luck coming out of pocket $242.

Remove the Anti-theft system fuse.

The manufacturer of the 1989 Acura Legend recommends 10W-30 motor oil. A heavier motor oil can be used in extreme climates.

I have the same prblem with mine right now, I've cleaned out the carbon build up on the piston heads and the valves, I've replaced the head gasket and all other gaskets, and i replaced my spark plugs. Still i have this knocking sound at the top front of the engine. Now i took out the head and had my machine shop do a valve job on it and they say there were no major problems. So I'm hopeing it wasent somthing as simple as my timing but I'll find out when i put it togather tomorrow.

I'll keep you posted

the relay is mounted under the driver side dash panel just below the ac vent. it is a square black box with one bolt above it .look just above your hood release handle. it has two separate wires that plugs into the bottom of relay

2.7 litre.

On the transmission

you need the machine that tells you the code. i think its called OBDII scanner. you plug it in, turn our ignition to ON, let the machine do its thing and come to the main screen, then you hit delete codes and it'll ask you if you're sure you want to blah blah blah. then you hit ok several times and ta-da! auto zone won't do it for you because they have been sued before, but you can loan the tool out (don't tell them you're erasing codes) for diagnostic purposes, go and erase them and return it. hope that helps.

i have a 1995 LS 4dr...just had to go through the mondo task of replacing head gaskets...you may not have this problem yet,,but what you do have is a temp sensor that is caught in an air bubble...in my case my head gasket was seeping and pushing hot gasses into the water jacket and pushing coolant into my overflow tank...the space made after the motor cools down is an air bubble travleing through your coolant system... goto www.acura-legend.com and do a thread search...LOTS of relevant info there....good luck....

when they run good, there is no match for the $$$....Acura Legend, owning one and affording one are two different things...

the relay box is right

above the lever to pop your hood under the dash you will have to take the dash down under the steerin wheel and its a black box about 4 inches wide by 4 in it has 2 plugs comin off it
