Does the timing belt on a Honda accord need changing?
Positively. Honda engines with a cam belt are interference engines. As such, if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur that will cost you plenty to repair. You fail to list the year so I cannot tell you when to change it. Look in your owner's manual or call you local Honda dealer.
How do you adjust hydraulic lifters on a 2002 Honda accord 3 liter v6?
You don't as they are self adjusting.
To my understanding, in a power steering system, the pinion is like a cog attached to the steering column. The rack is connected to the piston, supplying fluid ports which provide high pressure to one side or the other resulting in your wheels moving.
Hopefully my crappy answer will inspire a better one.
My answer...
If you have ever used a log splitter, its the exact same thing... kinda...
You have to hoses going to the rack. One is the pressure, and one is the return. The pump is always moving fluid when the engine is running.
When your warming your car up the fluid goes right through the rack valve and back to the pump tank. When you turn the steering wheel, a tiny torsion bar directs some of that fluid to one side of the rack piston, depending on which way you want to turn.
If your car is sitting still the torsion bar will have alot of tension when you turn the wheel, and give lots of oil to the rack piston. If your blasting down the highway and turn the wheel there is very little torque on the torsion bar, so it diverts a tiny amount of fluid to the rack piston. On the rack you will notice two steel tubes going to the rack housing. These tubes carry the fluid from the valve to one side of the piston or the other, and also carry the fluid from the unused side of the piston back to the tank.
Back to the log splitter, the more you move the valve handle the faster the splitting wedge moves, same with your rack, except it moves the valve more or less for you.
Ever notice when you rev the motor on your log splitter the wedge moves faster?
Well your lucky that your car does not do the same. Imagine at an idle you need two people to steer, and at high RPMs the wheel would be way top easy. Power steering pumps have two valves built into them. One is a pressure relief valve so when you steer to the end of travel, it does not brake the pump shaft. The other valve is basically a flow divider.
The "flow divider" has two paths for the outlet fluid, one is the controlled flow, the other is the excess flow. The controlled flow is always the same (pretty much) no matter how fast you are turning the pump, and goes to the rack valve. The excess flow changes with engine speed, and is sent right back to the tank.
For you race car builders... if your driver is whining about the steering, you can buy different torsion bars, which will deflect at different rates. This gives you the opportunity to make the steering softer or harder, which ever the driver prefers. These are typically the recirculating ball type gear boxes and not racks.
For you snow plowers, you can use a second power steering pump to provide your plow valve fluid... get rid of that pesky electric motor! You just need to tweek the "flow divider" and plug the relief valve, but make sure your control valve has a built in adjustable relief valve.
Want a hydraulic winch on the front of your truck? Use a second power steering pump.
Want a slow log splitter, hook up a second pump.... Anything is possible now that you have a hydraulic pump!!!
Have fun, and try not to spray oil all over your shop!

How do you change an automatic transmission on a 1986 Honda Accord LXi?
It's a fair bit of work, you will need to support the engine while doing this, pull the driveshafts and any other items in the way to get it out. If you're not familiar with it take it in and have it done. The other thing you can do is buy the repair manual and go at it step by step.

It is rectangular in shape and appx. 2" x 3". I just replaced mine and they cost around $70 - $90 depending upon where you purchase it.
How do you change the front turn signal light in a 1999 Honda Accord?
1) Turn the wheels in the opposite direction of the dead signal lamp (e.g. if left turn signal is out, turn wheel to the right).
2) Using a screwdriver, pop the forward most snap holding the wheel well liner in place. To do this, gently pry up the inner piece of the snap from both sides. If they break, you can buy replacement snaps at any Honda dealership. I keep a few on hand.
3) Peel back the liner so there's enough room to get your hand in. Feel around until you find the wires, then follow them to the lamp socket.
4) Turn the entire socket counter clockwise 1/8th of a turn and it will pop out. Pull the entire socket GENTLY out the wheel well.
5) Install the new bulb wearing surgical gloves or holding the bulb with a tissue, as getting any oils from your skin on the bulb shortens the bulb life. The bulb fits into the grooves in one specific way.
6) Reverse these steps to reinstall.
How do you replace a headlight on a 2000 Honda Odyssey?
Just finished this harder-than-it-should-be task. Most of the work is blind and you need to feel your way around the bulb housing to find the clip end of the holddown wire cage. Observe Halogen Bulb practices. Clean off any grease or fingerprints on new bulb with alcohol before installing...otherwise hot spot will develop and kill bulb.
Passenger Side
Step 1: Remove Wire Harness. Find the wires and their harness connected to the back of the bulb. To make sure you have the right harness, wiggle it while looking through the clear lens. If the bulb moves while wiggling the the harness, you have the right one. To remove the harness, simply pull it straight back away from the bulb and off the bulb prongs.
Step 2: Remove Rubber Seal Boot. Note the orientation of the boot (typically, the two rubber tabs extending out the back are at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions). The most exposed edge of the boot is underneath the bulb when viewing from above. Feel underneath for the edge and peel it back away from the bulb housing. Work your way around the bulb housing peeling more of the boot back as you go. You may have to work your way around a few times to complete disengage the boot from the bulb housing. Don't worry about the part of the boot around the bulb prongs. It will slide off easily once the boot is disengaged from the bulb housing.
Step 3: Open Wire Clip. The bulb is held in place by a wire clip. DO NOT unscrew this clip! Find the tab opposite the screw, push it toward the front of the vehicle then pull it up vertically. The wire clip will pivot back. It pivots on the anchor held by the screw. NOTE: The screw merely retains the clip in its mount. The screw does not have to be loosened or tightened during this procedure. In other words, don't touch the screw.
Step 4: Remove Bulb. Once the wire clip is open, the bulb is just resting in the bulb housing. Note the bulb orientation since the new bulb will have to go in the same way (typcially, the three prongs are in the 9, 12, and 3 0'clock positions). Simply pull it out and maneuver it out of the bulb housing and past the wire clip.
Step 5: Install New Bulb. Practice closing the clip and opening the clip without a bulb in the housing. Once you get a feel for it, move the clip out of the way and place the new bulb in the bulb housing. WARNING: KEEP BULB CLEAN -- no contaminants and no fingerprints. Handle the bulb by the metal prongs and maneuver it into the bulb housing in the same orientation as the old bulb.
Step 6: Close Wire Clip. Close the wire clip over the new bulb as you practiced in Step 5 ;p
Step 7: Install Rubber Seal Boot. Maneuver the boot into the same orientation it was in before removal. Place the center hole of the boot over the bulb prongs. Push the bottom edge of the boot onto the bulb housing and work your way around until it is fully engaged with the housing.
Step 8: Connect Wire Harness. Align the wire harness to the bulb prongs and push it on.
Step 9: Test. Turn on the headlights and make sure it works.
Step 10: Drink.
Driver Side
Same procedure as passenger side now except that space is VERY TIGHT and the housing over the air intake must be removed before starting. The two fasteners on the air intake pull straight out with a little tug by pliers. Save the fasteners, you will need them to reinstall cover later.
Good luck. I am sure the dealers charge at least $100 to do this paininthea** job. So you are saving some dough for the aggro. Owners manual actually has a reasonably good diagram and I recommend looking at it.
Howard
With Howard's guidelines, I was able to cut his time in half. Thx. One piece of advice on the clip wire that holds the light in place; put the square end of the clip under the screw and tighten the screw half way, then press down on the opposite end of the wire to "hook" the wire under the bracket. Tightened the screw completely after the wire clip is in place. Definitely worth doing it yourself.
NOTE: The above 10-step procedure does not require any adjustment to the screw that retains the wire clip. The screw simply holds one part of the cage's wire frame in place and allows the clip to pivot around the retained wire. Practice opening and closing the clip in Step 5 and it all makes sense.

1990 Honda Accord lx s light stays on for a while after cranking car?
On the bright side, the fact the "S" indicator light came on indicates it is an electrical problem rather than a mechanical one. When the A/T control unit senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the "S" indicator light in the gauge assembly will blink. However, when the Service Check Connector, located to the lower right of the glove compartment, is connected with a jumper wire, the "S" indicator light will blink the problem code when the ignition switch is turned on. When the "S" indicator light has been reported on, connect the two terminals of the Service Check Connector together. Then turn on the ignition switch and observe the "S" indicator light. Problem codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks, Problem codes 10 through 15 are indicated by a series of long and short blinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine the problem code. Let me know what code you get and I can tell you what it means. If you don't think you can perform the self-diagnostics yourself, then I would recommend taking it to a Honda Dealer and let them diagnose and repair the problem. There is a Technical Bulletin issued by Honda that may apply to your vehicle as well. Technical Bulletin #:289
Transmission: PX4B
Subject: Wrong Gear Starts
Application: Honda, Accord
