BOUNTYDOG: Honestly I dont have a clue what oil is used. The garage suggest service after every 10k km. The car is not overworked. I do an average of 5k km per year. Bought the car 10yrs ago and it never stopped one day. |

shinebabe: Have you changed the coil pack or wires? That part seems to escape mechanics. Had a similar problem years ago-mech recommended I change spark plugs. Nothing changed. Then they recommended I clean my entire fuel system- a procedure so arduous that I quickly turned it down and looked for alternatives on my own I figured it would be the coil pack after a few minutes of Internet wandering - I dashed to Suame Magazine (Ghana's version of Ladipo) and got a new coil pack- car has been running great for years now. |

billy187:Is it the spark plug wires ? The coil was checked but no fault was detected. |
Re: Whats D Longest time U ve Driven Ur Car Without A Trip To Mechanic by billy187(m): 2:24am On Apr 16, 2016 |
shinebabe: Yes, I'm referring to the spark plug wires as well as that thing they all seem to connect to. Is that the coil you are referring to? |

billy187:My hubby said you are referring to the distributor cap. The thing is that the car suddenly lose power and jerks to a stop when the engine is warm. |
Re: Whats D Longest time U ve Driven Ur Car Without A Trip To Mechanic by shinebabe(f): 9:29am On Apr 16, 2016 |
GAZZUZZ:We will call you soon. |
Re: Whats D Longest time U ve Driven Ur Car Without A Trip To Mechanic by billy187(m): 8:17pm On Apr 16, 2016 |
shinebabe: Exactly! Its also known as the distributer cap. Funny thing, that's what happened to me as well. The first time my engine lost power was when I was merging onto a highway- with an 18-wheeler barreling down the lane I just merged onto! That was one of my scariest driving experiences ever. Anyways I think you should be good, now that you have gazzuzz on ur case. That's a guy that knows his onions. All the best with your ride! 1 Like |

aasunmoh: 24-years-old, and still going strong. I've always had a soft spot for older Honda models. I especially love the model before yours, with the retractable headlamps. May your Accord give you many more great years of service. |

This is the Honda Accord I'm referring to: I love this car, and if I could find one, I would snap it up in an instant. I have fond memories of cruising round Lagos back in 1989/90. Those were the days! |
