Granny rules!
She sure does!
Very happy for you. Those are great cars if you know the weak points and take care of them. They can easily go over 300,000 miles worry free. Warm it up completely before driving due to weak head gaskets and it should be fine. Cold start and hammer down will blow it quick. Trans oil needs to be kept very clean due to non replaceable filter in trans. You drive sensibly, so every 30,000. Same with motor oil do not let it go past 3000 or dark brown due to the vvt system will fail. Timing belt on those are due at aproximatly 100,000 but due to the age, and never changed id due it as soon as you can. They also have a counter balancer belt also that needs to be correctly clocked when changed. It should come in the kit. Also pick up a lisle weighted socket for the job and a decent impact. Those are notoriously hard to get the crank bolt out the first time out. Pick up a injector relay also and put in your glove compartment thats another part that fails out of the blue. The last one is the top of the windshield like to rust and leak around the seal so keep an eye out for that especially when the paint starts to fail. I tell you all this because i have lived the honda experience of taking care of the familys hondas. Hope this helps you.
That is an extremely helpful comment! I'll be considering everything you just mentioned, thanks so much.
@@GettinJunkDoneRemembered a couple more. Igniter in the distributor goes bad, will create a no start and no spark. Intermittent starting will be a ignition switch. Unknown misfire will be a burned exhaust valve due to plugged catalytic converter that was only a few years old due to origional cracking and making fuel trims go off. This you wil need to replace. Its easy to check for this crack. Take the heat shield off and it will be around the the 02 sensor. Mine crack all the way to the sensor. After market cats are not very good and it took out my motor due to the honeycomb collapsing. Sad because the motor was strong till it happened. All these problems are not from just one car but multiple. So dont thinkmyour car is junk its just an accumulation of many cars. Though they all get the same maintenance and exhaust manifold cracks.
