1992 Honda Inspire problems

Filed Mar 8, 2005 · Electrical · TX

I started to have problems about 5 years ago. I have a 1992 honda accord with 166k miles. At the time, I was probably at about 115k miles. My car is in good condition and I take car of the maintenence as suggested. However, I've changed out the igniter on the engine in the past 5 years 3 times. Last time was in december of 04. I started receiving the same syptoms now, and feels as if the car is about to give out again. The tachometer starts skipping and I notice weird engine stalls while driving. I've tried many things to remedy the situation besides just replacing it, but after a while the problems comes back. I've read serious complaints about this problem, and feel that this is a severe problem that cause extreme hazards and unwanted burdens.

Oil seal failed without warning while traveling, all oil drained out. Car had to be towed to service station where they replaced a failed oil seal, balance shaft belt, timing belt, AC belt, and power steering belt. Additional costs incurred for epa/hazmat disposal fees. Luckily oil light came on & operator's quick reaction averted catastrophic failure. Service station advised us of recalls for this identical problem: consumer complaints already filed odi #s 517744 & 734948.
