Open the hood, right up top on the drivers/left side of the car. Single V-belt driving it.

What issue are you having?

Default Power steering pump

Hello and thanks for responding, I cannot find it...if I did I thought it was a smog pump and it would be off center...what I thought was the smog pump (I don't think that model came with one) and I cannot imagine how a belt would drive if being that far off center

I have the day off and will have some time to look at it more closely. The power steering is not working at all. Not that difficult to park but it takes some work without power steering. I noticed the power steering fluid was low and add some thinking that was the problem. That did not solve it. I see something that does not have a belt on it. However I cannot figure out what it is. And it is so far off center and cannot imagine what would drive it (whatever it might be) But I will take a close look today.

Pic's? There is a storm here right now so I'm not going outsdie and taking a picture of it....on the ps res, follow the lower rubber hose coming off the front of it.....it leads to the PS pump.

PS - I hope you are using Honda/Acura approved PS fluid.....these things do not like anything else. If you could take some pic's from the "belt end" of the engine we can help better.

Look at this thread: https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...threads-40780/

I have others, just paper.

I'm guessing you found it.....one of the things I was going to do tonight was take a pic of the 89 LXi I have outside....no storms tonight
