ThaBooner from Houston
YwHey there.. Just an ole country boy born in raised in Texas. Just got my second
Honda, in my driving career. I had to get away from the Camaros and their gas mileage. That and they are a pain to work on and can dig into the pockets a bit at the parts stores.
I now have a 2005 Honda Accord 2.4l 4cyl Manual 2 dr. Loveing the car so far. Had a issue yesterday morning. It was about 45 deg. Let the car warm up a bit, switched the heater on... An Cold air all the way to work. (30 min) first thought was heater core.. But when I got off.. I fired it up, and heater worked fine.
Also.. At every start up, the motor turns over 3 or 4 times before it fires up. Not sure if that is a typical Honda thing or not. I have not yet had the battery checked out nor do I know when the last tune up was done on the car. I think my old hatch back used to do that too, but I'm not sure because that was 10 years ago.
I am kind of a "shad tree mechanic" not a full blown mechanic.. But I don't see myself as just a parts changer, do it yourselfer, call it what ya will. I have read many threads on this sight for info on my ride already. Hopeing to install the IPod/mp3 jack that I read about and I would like to know if there is an exhaust I can put on a 4cyl WITHOUT making my car sound like a pissed off bumble Bee.
I do want to add cold air intake.. And any other ideas without tearing to far into the car.
Thanks for your time and looking forward to communicating with everyone.
Thank Y'all

Yes, welcome to HAF.
For the heat...I'll post a bit here. For more, start a thread in General Tech.
Of course check the coolant level if you haven't already. I'd also check for any stored codes in the HVAC unit.
