garrettacura Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ok so what was originally thought was the problem with this accord that fell into my hands was blown head gasket, well a friend worked on it a lil and said it wasnt, but now it apparently starts up for a few seconds then backfires straight up out the carb? so can anyone help out? if its fixable then ill buy it off of him 89 accord some 236k miles lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubs Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Cars that were made after 1982 I believe were no longer produced with carburators, they are now made with fuel injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Sorry Chubs but a lot of hondas production cars up until 91 had carbs or dual-point injection. look at all the civics. or with dual-point injection. but yeah if your blowin out the carb adjust your ignition timing back a couple of degrees and see wat it does then start movin it forward a lil at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubs Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 You are right about that, but they def dont make Hondas with carbs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kegger Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 your right buddy even domestics stopped puttin carbs in cars in 91. jumpin on the import bandwagon if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmythewop89 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 we flew right by that bandwagon after getting a 505 horsepower engine getting 26mpg highway. even tbi in the early 90's was good performing, gave big trucks about 15 mpg which was very good back then. oh and domestics has fuel infection earlier then that. i think 85 or 87 was the first years.
