Hello Mr Gazzuz, thanks for the great work you are doing here and God bless you. I recently bought a Honda accord 1998 model{ babyboy} from a friend months ago bur I didn't realize some few faults, the engine is in good condition but I obeserve that whenever I put on the AC, it reduces the engine work thereby reducing the slow as if the car is about going off, went to a rewire known to me and he said I need. To change the vacuum, of which I know for a V4 babyboy engine, may have more than 10 vacuums, Anoda rewire said it may be the Kompressor of the AC, which I recently change and still gives me same issue most expecially when d engine is very warm. Also I have the check engine light on, SRS light on and also the ABS light on. Plz advice what can I do

Idle speedvalve is the most likely culprit, have it serviced or replaced, also have the vehicle scanned.

@Oga GAZZUZZ. My dashboard has some issues. The speedometer failed, the tachometer is epileptic, works at times, my fuel gauge can be deceptive. Some times when I enter or go through a bump, some of them come back and fails after some time. What could be the cause of this, will I need a new one entirely? Or have them work on it? I really hardly believ these mechanics....

You might have a grounding problem, since it's a phase1 the vehicle is not equipped with a BSI check ground connections under the dash and harness connecting the instrument cluster.

Possible fuel pressure problem, or clogged injectors. But that's blind diagnosis, please try and have the vehicle scaned, I could be wrong
