is engine oil leaking? if so, the distributor o-ring is a common problem, followed by a valve cover gasket leak

The thing to do is take the cap off the radiator and use a thermometer to see if the gauge in the car is accurate. The thermostat should not be removed. Cars need to have an operating temperature that is high to keep emissions down.

Speed Sensor probably. Try: 1. Ensure mainshaft and countershaft speed sensors are installed properly. Disconnect mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. Using a DVOM, measure resistance between sensor terminals. 2. If resistance is not 400-600 ohms, replace mainshaft speed sensor. If resistance is 400-600 ohms, disconnect 25-pin PCM harness connector "B". Check for continuity between ground and 25-pin PCM harness connector "B", terminals No. 15 (Red wire) and No. 14 (White wire). 3. If continuity is present, repair short to ground in Red or White wire between PCM and mainshaft speed sensor. If continuity is not present, reconnect mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. Measure resistance between 25-pin PCM harness connector "B", terminals No. 15 (Red wire) and No. 14 (White wire). 4. If resistance is not 400-600 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 400-600 ohms, go to DTC P0720 (FLASH CODE 9) . Check for loose PCM harness connectors. Replace PCM with a known-good unit if necessary. 5. Disconnect mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. Check Red wire for continuity between 25-pin PCM harness connector "B", terminal No. 15 and mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open in Red wire between 25-pin PCM harness connector and mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. 6. Check White wire for continuity between 25-pin PCM harness connector "B", terminal No. 14 and mainshaft speed sensor harness connector. If continuity is present, check for loose PCM harness connectors. Replace PCM with a known-good unit if necessary. If continuity is not present, repair open in White wire between 25-pin PCM harness connector and mainshaft speed sensor harness connector.

You need a repair shop, not someone on theinternet without the car to guess at that

It could be a few things. Check to make sure the fans are kicking on correctly. Make sure the coolant is full and it is not leaking anywhere. Check your fuses on the fans if they don't work. Make sure the radiator works and that it is not damaged. If these check, it could be the thermostat or the water pump. Is your check engine light on? If so, get the code. That way you will know where to start. Autozone scans them for free. Check them in that order. If they check out, it could be a faulty coolant temperature sensor also. If you need anything, please let me know. I am here to help. Thank you very much for choosing FixYa.

maybe you flyweel is broken .if you work on your car toll me for better help.

If the rotor is stopping it is something that is internal to the motor and causing the engine to lock or a busted Distributor shaft. Either way your going to have to basically do a rebuild on the motor in order to find the problem. If you can turn that rotor by hand you have a busted Distributor connecting shaft, if you can turn the rotor backwards you have the same problem. If this is the case you will need to open the motor up so that you can get all the shaft pieces out to put the new on in. You will need to have this done at a shop, unfortunately expensive, or get a manual on your vehicle to have the directions you need to remove and install everything.

Your vehicle may be part of a recall from Hinda/Acura. This recall involves most models, years 1998-2002. Defective part is Ignition Switch. Typical symptoms include: Random Long/Hard starts, stalls while driving (when this happens speedo drops to "0" while car is in motion), No spark, some warning lights are not lit (when key is set to "ON")..typically happens more often in hotter or humid weather. Call your local dealer with your VIN# on hand, and refer to a 2002 Honda/Acura recall regarding Ignition Switch Failure.

You need to get the serial number off the sticker attached to the radio. It will require pulling apart your dash. Call an Acura dealership with that serial number and they should be able to provide you the code. Or you can take it directly to the dealer but you will be charged labor.

on that cat the hub is pressed into the bearing , you will have to remove the assembly and take it to a machine shop, most times the bearing seal will be damaged in the process so replace it as well
