So my goal is to completely service the car
Oil change, ps flush, trans flush, coolant flush, fuel filter, belts, cap, plugs, wires, etc
267k miles on this car, I'm hoping I can give it a "fresh" life
There is a good video on YouTube about how to change the fuel filter in Accords. I've never done it but watched the video and it may require special tools.

If you're interested in complete service, you may consider checking the wear of your timing belt.

Lucked out, fuel vap tube was broke. $4.00 fix on the explorer... Now back to the accord... Pressure tested the a/c today. Put in 18 oz of r 134a and oddly enough, it started smoking from the exhaust??

hayes manual says for '97 accord only Honda ATF should be used
'94-96 says genuine Honda or any dexron/mercon
no point in buying pure coolant and using tap water huh? right?
