Default 89 accord trouble codes?
Some told me that you cannot retrieve trouble codes on the 89 accord if it is carberated? Is this true if not then how do I get them. Thanks

On the 3rd gen's - only the FI models will store codes.

If you open the window to the ecu - you'll notice there is not a led to give you codes.

What issue are you having?

Does it just stop or does it seem to stumble a bit and just slowly die out.

Does it start right back up.

Finish the tune up - cap and rotor.

What is the rpm in park when the car is warm?
