1989 Acura Legend Questions & Answers
89 acura legend tail lights stuck on. how to fix?
Tail lights or brake lights? Most common is the brake light switch stopper breaks off so the brake light switch doesn't shut off. This is above the brake pedal. Look on the floor for small broken plastic pieces. The stopper is only a few dollars, pretty easy to pop in place.

My 1989 acura overheated and now go thru alot of oil
There's not much you can do short of fixing the engine.When it overheated, the metal in the cylinders may have warped, and the head gasket may have started leaking. The oil is being burned thru the cylinders and out the tail pipe.

Why wont my 1989 acura legend start, it cranks up but it wont start?
Probably your fuel pump. If its EFI remove the cap from the shreader valve on the fuel rail and turn the key to the on position. Listen to see if you can hear the fuel pump kick on. Leave the key on and press the shreader vlave. if fuel doesn't come out hard and strong then either it's the pump (most likely) or the fuel pump relay might be bad. That relay can be changed with other relays of the same part number in the fuse console under the hood. Try switching it out and see if the car starts. If all that checks out good then the next step I would take is to look at the cam / crank sensor.

1989 acura legend will not crank over after replacing alternator and battery
May not have been the alternator , check the main relay module , may need to re solder the connections. Its under the dash on the left side of the steering column , its a little hard to see and get out but the connections often burn through the solder and present problems such as this that mimic a fuel supply problem .

1989 Acura legend white smoke from exhaust and
white smoke maybe a sign of a blown head gasket,crack in cylinder or head,letting water leak into 1 the cylinders.check and see if you have water(coolant)in the oil,if there is ,it will look kind of like a bad chocolate/vanilla milkshake mixture.if any of this is true then your looking at rebuilding the motor,which should be done by a qualified automotive tech,and get the extra warrenty if possible.

Where is the flasher relay on a 2002 lancer
The turn signal and hazard flasher unit is located in the interior fuse
panel located under the driver's left side knee protector. They are
replaced by simply pulling them straight out. Note that the prongs are
arranged in such a way that the flasher must be properly oriented before
attempting to install it. Turn the flasher until the orientation of the
prongs is correct and simply push it firmly in until the prongs are
fully engaged.
Hope this helps (remember to rating this free answer).

New fuel pump and relay still wont start , spray a
Hi Patrick,The only thing I can tell you is that it sounds like you have narrowed the problem down to either a FUEL DELIVERY problem or a FUEL INJECTION problem (since it starts by spraying fuel in the intake). You need to check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail to eliminate the fuel delivery system, (This should have been done before replacing the fuel pump and/or relay.)If the fuel pressure is within specifications, then you need to diagnose your fuel injection system.

Over heating
One fan comes on when the Coolant sensor reaches a certain temperature, and the other fan comes on when the A/C Compressor is turned On.You can measure the voltage going to the fan for 12 volts using a Voltmeter. If it isn't getting 12 volts when it is supposed to, check your fan relay (it should click with the fan turns on). I’m happy to help further over the phone at

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
I strongly suggest that you check or replace the positive cable going to the starter. It can be broken inside that's why there's no current going to the starter. I believe you'll be good after.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have 1992 Acura Legend
It could be the coolant temperature sensor is reading wrong. You can verify this by having a live data scanner hooked up to see what it is actually reading.
