I have a Honda accord 2.2i 4ws 1990 I have a couple of problems
1, ALB light is on constant from when I start the engine. When I start the cart it clicks on once then off once then stays on constant
I have had several Mechanics look at this and had the ALB pump changed and the wheel sensors change but am still unable to resolve the problem.

2, I also have a problem with the idling which revs between 1000 and 2000 rpm but once the car warms up it calms down.

3, I also have a problem with the Speedo which when I excelorate hard will stop working

I know its a few issue also getting parts for this car is very difficult as I am based in the UK and the Main dealer seems to be the only place to go to get them. Could you also provide me with dealers that can export parts to the UK?

 

Hmmmm, the only model in the USA that had 4WS and 2.2iwas the prelude.
You idle surging sounds like a classic Fast Idle Thermal Valve problem.
Be sure the engine is full of coolant and the block burped thru the 12mm bleed screw at the T-stat housing. If that is not the problem remove the top from the FITV [2 phillips screws] inside you'll see a nylon 'splitscrew' with a cone in the middle; turn the splitscrew in a couple turns.

The ABS problem; I'd be screaming like a banshee at the person that charged me for the parts and labor yet didn't fix the problem.
You should be able to get the 'code' by using the service check connector.
double set of flashes that indicate main and sub system of the ABS light.

If thetransmission VSS is the problem with the speedometer, your cruise control will not work when the speedometer is inoperative, and it should throw a code to the ECU and show a Check Engine Light.

 

Thanx for this!!!
The Idle problem is much better thanx for the great advice!!!
I am unable to get a code reader in the UK for this model of car would you know where I can get one cheap.
Also do you have any diagrams for the Speedo issue.
Thanx again

 

you dont need a code reader, if you jump the two terminal connector the light will flash with a series of "flash codes"

 

Could you tell me were I can get a List of the codes...
Also I need advise on the VSS and what it looks like and where I may be able to purchase one to get it shipped to the UK.
I have looked on Ebay (US) and they will not ship to the UK.
So I'm a bit stuck on getting the part....

Any advise would be appreciated

 

Here are a few Pics of my accord 2.2i 4ws
Which is in the UK Just to give you an idea of what it looks like

A good site with how to jump the connector, and the engine codes: http://www.dhost.info/accordinfo/howto/cel.html

Its for the 5th gen, but I think that it still applies to your accord.

For international shipping I think that TAS Auto will send them. Make sure that the part you order will match your Accord. www.tasauto.com

 

Hi ,
Thanks for the quick reply but the site you have advised me of is quite expensive,
are there any after market VSS sensor sellers you recomend?

I have one question...
When I try to read the fault codes will it display more than one code error?
