Honda Accord parts reviews

I bought a timing belt kit manufactured by Aisin, and it was very good. It comes with a new water pump, tensioner assembly and idler. The car runs smoothly.

Yes, a bad spark plug, incorrect type of spark plug, or a wide spark plug gap can cause a coil to fail. If electrical resistance in the secondary ignition circuit is too high the coil must generate a higher voltage to fire the plug.

I work at a Honda dealership in the mechanic field, and I would recommend the OEM thermostat, unless you have a rebuilt engine.

sorry for a late update on the post, but starter was the issue.

I added in spark plugs and brake rotors and pads too since I was on factory brakes still. Brakes could have probably lasted another 15K miles but they’re 5 years old, lasted 100K miles

We replaced the aftermarket starter with an OEM Honda one and now it starts up quickly like it should.

I replaced mine at 80k when it was 8 years old and the belt still looked perfect.

2008 Honda Accord, 3.5L. Bought with 163k-ish miles and having no history, I probably ordered a timing belt kit. Gates usually treats everyone well, so I didn't hesitate and installed it. All new including water pump, idler, tensioner roller and hydraulic tensioner. Everything in-time perfectly and it ran for 2,000 miles without issue.

Just a word of warning, those accords with the K24 do not like aftermarket starters. We've installed a few aftermarket starters and they come back with long cranks, and the Honda, for some reason, will cause an engine light for the long/slow crank. The aftermarket ones just don't have the same jam as the OE ones.

I installed 2 new moog ball joints in my 2001 honda accord. Install went smooth, added outer tie rods and got it aligned. I drove it for a day and it seemed nice and tight. Then the next morning I drive out the driveway and it goes "squeak-squawk". Driving normally seems fine, driving slowly around corners/mild bumps and it squawks like your choking a flamingo. The drivers side was sounding bad... Now I can hear the passenger side Moog balljoint squeaking and squawking now too.
