Question Few problems with my 95' accord lx v4.

Well, I don't have much complaints, car has 250,000+ miles and there seems to be a few issues.

- The temperature gauge doesn't seem to be working.

- Antenna won't ever go down (even if i turn the radio off)

-Whenever I turn or put the brakes on to come to a complete stop, it makes this squeaky metal noise (almost like the springs are messed up or something)

- Sun visor won't go up, its connected to electric wires so i can't just unscrew it, gets really annoying ( thought about superglueing velcro to each side, but wonder if theres another option)

- Check engine light always comes on as soon as i start the car, but it had a $1,000 tune engine tune up not too long ago. (maybe the computer is messed up?)

And also, the problems I do know need fixing (says mechanic)

Are: Master cylinder, 4 new tires, Alignment

Have the brakes checked.

Temp- Check the single wire sensor on the end of the head (under dist). Make sure the wire is connected. Then you can ground that single wire with key on and see if the gauge moves - DO NOT let the gauge peg hot during this test as that can damage the gauge.

Check Engine Light (CEL)- get the codes. There is a link in the Common DIY Threads at the top of the Gen Tech section that will show you "how to" do this. Once you have those you can either search them or let us know what you got and we can go from there.

Antenna and visor- in that same thread there is also a link to a manual you can download that will help with those.
