Check your fuses as well to make sure you don'r have a blown one keeping the pump from working. If you find no problem there; drop the tank and re-check all my electrical and hose connections. I'm assuming the pump was a known "good" one.

Full drain including the Torque converter or just the fluid in the pan?? Makes a huge difference. Also all fluid levels are checked with the transmission fluid hot. The pan holds about 2.5 US quarts, add two and check the dipstick I=engine running in park, add until it is just at the bottom of the safe zone and drive the car get the fluid hot to the touch and recheck and top off as needed.

Hello, I don't know of a TBC light for Honda but there is a TDC... If that's what you meant to type. Its the "Top Dead Center" sensor The TDC (top dead center) positioning sensor is another name for your crankshaft position sensor. This sensor measures the position of your crankshaft and helps with the proper firing of your spark plugs when you start your engine. The TDC sensor on the '97 Honda Accord is located on the underside of the engine block. Replacement TDC sensors can be purchased at your Honda dealership. This is not a difficult repair and can be done in about 15 minutes. Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_7918547_replace-sensor-1997-honda-accord.html I hope that helps.... Have a great weekend

Hi,have you got under the car maybe one of the joints has failed so you wont have any drive,worth a look,all the best.

96's are kinda the bad year for our cars being the only obd2 4th gen preludes so for any codes over 43 you have to look it up in the '97-'01 manual. Code 65 is "Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Sensor 2)". Probable causes are an open in the secondary O2 sensor heater circuit or bad ECU. Have you tried resetting the ECU to see if it comes back? If so, you could check for loose wires coming from the secondary O2 sensor in the cat converter going to the 4 pin connector, or if you have access to another ECU I would try to substitute a known good ECU to see if that clears it up. The troubleshooting flowchart is on page 11-79 in the '97-'01 helms manual, and involves checking resistances and for continuity. I think this could be the code I had on my '96 when I bought it. I tried replacing the secondary O2 sensor, and long story short it was the ECU. Luckily my '96 was still under the extended emmissions warranty, so Honda replaced it for free. I don't think you would be covered under the extended warranty because it was 14 years and under 150k miles. I just barely made it (within a month or 2 and 3k miles) last year. As far as the engine sounds and rough idle, you could just need a valve adjustment. The secondary O2 sensor just checks the cat to make sure it's working right. And all auto trans want to move forward when the brake is released.

Some frayed wiring.

If the dash lights are on the same circuit as the park lights. Chances are if no dash lights... no park lights. Unless the dash light dimmer switch is on the low position. Check park light fuse. If no brake lights... which are on a different circuit and you are sure the bulbs are ok check brake light fuse. If fuse ok, unplug brake light switch at brake pedal and cross the terminals with a jumper. If brake lights work, the brake switch is faulty. If still no brake light operation suspect a wiring issue

If just the inner part is broken, remove both ends of cable, pull out broken parts. Buy a universal repair kit at parts store and follow instructions that come with.

it could be a defective sensor. possibly an open or the gear on that drives the sensor is not turning.

Did you check cylinder compression?

All the vents in the front dash have adjusting fins in them. to turn in a certain direction and to open or close them. Look at them. If you can't open them with the small knob at the vent. Use a small screw driver or key to open them up.

You have to remove the radio and get the serial number then call any honda dealership service desk tell them you need the radio code give them the serial number and they'll give you the code. I've done it a few times good luck

U need to re-timed the engine. Check all four marks going across the two cam pully is lined up with the engine head surface. Then check the crank pully alignment mark the single notche align to the mark on the timing cover

You cannot properly set static timing on any vehicle without using a timing light. Buy or borrow a timing light.

If it is really a knock by a mechanics use of the word, it is a SERIOUS wear of a rod bearing. Get some expert advice on this immediately. It it I am right, your engine could come apart and do considerable damage.
