Default accord 1998 unused for 3 months

Hello everyone, is being long i have been in this forum reason is that i travelled and i have not being using my honda accord. Please i want find out what damages could result for not using the car for three month. Although before i left the car at home for my journey which is going to last for three months i took away the battery from the terminals. What other problems would i expect for not using the car within these three months that i will not be around. These forum have been very useful as in the area of advice and suggestions for honda accord cars and i have benefitted alot from it. Hope to hear from you guys soon. THANKS.

Please note that whenever i goes back home every two or three weeks i use to drive the car just for a day with no problems so far for now. The mileage is now 230,000

Three months is no big deal; fire it up, drive it for a day or so, change the oil; you're good to go.

I was going to say the same thing. Maybe add some Berrymans B-12 to the fuel, as it'll loose some of it's vitamins in that time.
I go thru this every fall and spring with my classic car, since I live in the "salt belt".

Thanks to you both Shipo and Toecutter for this information, there is no need for me to fear for the sake of major damages to the car for not being used for the three months i was not around. This Berryman B-12 is it a form of fuel additives or fuel cleaner?. I don't know if we can have it in my country here in Nigeria but i will search for it. THANKS

Fuel treatment is pretty much unnecessary unless Nigeria adds ethanol to their fuel (highly unlikely).
