The issue could be due to a variety of factors such as a weak battery, a faulty fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, or issues with the ignition system. The engine may not necessarily be shot, but it should be inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and repair the specific problem.
GOT IT FIXED TODAY. WOUND UP THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD. NOT THE KEY AND CYLINDER COMMONLY REFERED TO AS THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT THE SWITCH DOWN ON THE COLUMN UNDER THE DASH THAT THE TURNING OF THE KEY PUSHES WITH A ROD. I ASKED 2 MECHANICS, 4 PARTS STORES AND THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THE ALL TOLD ME THE KEY AND CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $179.00 LATER MY CAR STILL DID EXACTLY WHAT IT DID TO BEGIN WITH. SO I PUT ON A $21.39 SWITCH THAT WAS MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN UNDER THE DASH AND WAS SO HARD TO GET TO THE THE WHOLE COLUMN HAD TO COME OUT TO REPLACE IT. HOPE THIS MAY HELP SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE BUT I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO IT. IT IS A PAIN.
Start by moving the power steering reservoir out of the way. Disconnect the battery and then remove the wires from the alternator. Take the tension out of the tensioning pulley and remove the belt from the alternator. Remove the bolts from alternator, you may have to take the top mounting bracket off of the engine. The hardest part I found was to get the alternator out after everything was unbolted. My brother-in-law the mechanic came over and advised me to put a floor jack under the motor (use a block of wood to protect the oil pan etc.). Remove the bolt in the engine mount and raise the engine with the floor jack until there is space to bring the alternator out of its hiding place. Bring it straight out from the front of the engine (front being the passenger side of the car. It might be easier to raise the engine and then take out the alternator, but I didn't have the opportunity to try that. But it's definitely easier to put the replacement in with the engine still raised. I spent all day trying to figure it out, after my brother-in-law helped me with the engine jacking, it took about 20 minutes to complete the job.
I've got the V6 and I didn't need to lift the engine, just remove the radiator fan directly in front of the alternator. The fan has 2 screw bolts(10mm) on top, 1 on bottom(which I could just manage to access from the top with a deep socket), unplug the wires and you can lift it out of the way. This gives you enough clearance to remove the alternator (be careful not to ding your radiator though). Also, I didn't relized that the tensioner pulley was a spring-loaded type...I've never seen one till now. Just put a wrench on the middle of the pulley and you can adjust it to move the alternater back in place. Another tip, since you're replacing the alternator, might as well replace the belt too. Good luck. 2hours - not hard, just hard to get to till you figure out what items you need to move out of the way.
If this is the LX or EX (4 cylinder)
1) Disconnect the battery cable (*).
2) Remove the green connector on the back of the alternator and the single wire (to help ensure you don't loose the nut, screw it back on the terminal).
3) Loosen the power steering pump - slip the belt off and then push the pump up out of the way. You do not need to remove the pump.
4) Remove the lower alternator bolt.
5) Loosen the upper alternator bolt.
6) Remove the tension bolt.
7) Slip the belt off the alternator pulley.
8) Remove the upper alternator bolt.
9) Grab hold of the alternator pull it out. You may need to move it up and down and wiggle it slightly to get it out.
Installation is in the reverse order. Be sure to set the proper belt tension on the alternator and power steering pump. Check the belt tension the next time you fill up for gas and adjust if needed.
Total time to R&R the alternator should be under an hour.

Looking at the alternator with the pulley facing you, the right mounting hole (where the large upper alternator bolt slips into) is a bushing. Carefully take some channel lock pliers and push it in so it's flush. This will help make installing it easier. As you tighten the upper and lower bolts, it will slide this bushing into proper position.
(*) = If your radio has a security code, be sure you know what it is before you pull the battery cables! If you have access to a battery charger, it may not be a bad time to re-charge the battery while you are R&R'ing the alternator. I would suggest that if you do elect to recharge the battery to take the battery out of the car.

18436572 is the order. potentially the harmonic balancer should have a carved notch which lines up with the timing mark on the block somehow
The degrees should be on a label under the hood.
There are many good quality tire manufacturers. More importantly, though, you should always stick with the tires specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. You can find the information on tire size and type on a decal on either the driver's or the passenger's door jamb.

First of all this is a royal pain.
You cannot remove the fan shroud without removing the fan clutch, so, remove the fan clutch and fan shroud. You will have to remove the four bolts holding the fan clutch while reaching under the shroud. If you have lost the sticker that shows how to run the serpentine belt, now would be a good time to draw yourself a diagram, or take a picture. Now you will see that there is a bracket that goes from the front of the power steering pump to the right side of the water pump, there is no way around this that I could find, go buy or borrow a pulley pulling kit (If there is an autozone near you, they will loan you one if you leave a deposit equal to the price, in my case $35 bucks, when you take it back unharmed, you get all your money back including tax)
Pull the steering wheel pump pulley, and it will reveal 2 bolts holding the bracket. Now remove the serpentine belt and unbolt the water pump. It has about 8 bolts, and thanks to the Ford engineering geniuses, they are almost all different sizes, ranging from 13mm to 19mm, you will need deep sockets because a couple of these are nuts on studs. Remove the power steering bracket, then the hoses (one on the bottom, two on the top) and then the water pump. scrape clean the engine side of all the old bits of gasket. put a light film of form a gasket, or some such silicone stuff to hold the new gasket onto the new pump (pump side only, the gasket by itself should seal on the engine side, don't over do it). put the new pump on and replace the bolts (alternate so that you tighten them evenly. Put back everything you took off. Now would be a good time to replace hoses and the belt if they are at all worn. Now curse the ford engineers one last time, and you are done.
It is obvious you have a gas leak. Use your nose to locate the general area of the leak. Once you narrow it down then you just have to search and find what is leaking.
Based on symptom: switch or motpr
Based on Nissan: switch
Replace Nissan window switches frequently lest you be caught open in the rain.
The other end of the cable is at the top of the transaxle under the hood. You can manually move it, but keep in mind that the car may start to go and hit something. Apply the parking brake AND have someone firmly depress the brake pedal if you're going to attempt this.
If your car is a manual transmission, then your kinda out of luck. Its a sealed compartment. You should take it to a garage and have them pull the fill plug on the tranny and have a look. But unless your car is over 200,000. Klicks or leaking don't worry about it.
If you have an automatic, run the car around the block until she is nice and warm. Park it on a flat surface, engage the hand break and leave the car in neutral with the engine running. There is a dipstick by the firewall of the engine compartment. Give that a yank, wipe it and re-insert. Pull it out and have a look. The dipstick will tell you if you need to add or not.
Good luck.
All internal combustion engines produce water as a part of the combustion proses. Before the engine reaches normal operational temperature, that water is sent out the tail pipe with all the other byproducts. Once the engine reaches operating temperature the water is still sent to the tail pipe, but it's so hot it's coming out as steam.
Condensation as mentioned above but if the accord has a catalytic converter water is a by product. If the water is copious then you may have a leaking gasget on the cylinderhead. In this case there would be white steam from the tail pipe.
For the answer to this question, look in your owner's manual. Don't have one then get one. You need an owner's manual for the maintenance schedule and for questions just like this. Sources for a manual are: Dealer, Salvage Yard, E-Bay, and many on-line sites. Here is one site. http://www.samarins.com/maintenance/manual.html
A working cooling fan is important in keeping the engine of a car running well. A diagram for a cooling fan in a Honda Accord can be found in its maintenance manual.
The information should be located on the tie bar (radiator support tag) or on the underside of the hood of the vehicle.

There are some screws on the door panel. One in the hand rail, one behind the door handle and one on the inside of the door next to the mirror. After removing the screws the door panel will remove with some force the door panel is clipped in. Make sure not to pull too hard, you have to unclip the wireing harness that controls the windows door locks etc. After you have removed the wireing harness,s and the door panel is completely off you can then remove the front speakers by taking the srcews out.
You don't need to cut the wires at all, I just got mine installed in 5 minutes with the adapter speaker plug, I got them from Amazon for 16 bucks but you save a lot of time and you don't mess the wire system of your car with the black tape and stuff.
It depends on who you're telling it to. Say you look nice or you look lovely or you look beautiful. Or you can just say you look pretty or can smile and be happy with him.
