The new timing belt jumped
no it is not. (late answer) is this a double post?all timing belts jump, 1: every 60k miles for most. ever read the service list.some top quality belts go bad at 100k miles. so.....????Honda uses an "interference" engine design. do not skip this service, or the whole engine can grenade !!!honda quote, pasted.However, since these engines utilize an interference design, it is
highly recommended to at least inspect the timing belt at 60,000 mile
(96,000 km) intervals. It is an even better idea to replace the belt at
these intervals. On 1990-94 models, Honda recommends the timing belt to
be replaced at 90,000 mile (144,000 km) intervals. On 1995 models, the
recommended interval is 60,000 miles (96,000 km).end quote.and if the last guy put in a POS china belt, well, you are hosed.no name belts are junk, never ever use one,BTW i run Gates belts.
Why are my dash lights flashing on a 1990 honda accord?
I suggest you check all the instrument panel grounds. You will need a factory wiring digrams fo rthis, so try and find a used factopry repair manual on eBay is my suggestion as fixya has no wiring dioragrams or repair manuals on file for this car
Troubleshooting
OVERHEATING GUIDE:CAUTION! Safety first. Be extremely careful when looking into or putting your hands or any other body part into your engine compartment. Use safety glasses. Keep all body parts away from open carburetor or air intake -- assume it will backfire. Backfires can produce blindness and/or third degree burns. Keep long hair VERY securely pinned up, remove all jewelry, do not wear loose clothing while working on a car. Heed these warnings even when the car is not running. Remember, modern cars have electric fans that can turn on at any time.Be careful not to short the battery -- battery explosions can throw potentially burning/blinding acid. Don't open the radiator cap of an overheated car. When it's cool enough to open, use a rag to block any spray, and open very slowly. Wear hard shoes capable of shielding impact from a dropped part.Take proper precautions when jacking up a car so the jack doesn't "kick out". A "kicked out" jack can be every bit as destructive as a kick from a large horse. Block the wheels, put on the brakes, seat the jack properly. Never crawl under a jacked up car unless it has been properly blocked up and completely secured. Even then, remember that earthquakes, sudden wind and drunk driver impacts happen. A professional lift is always best.The preceding warnings are by no means an exhaustive list of the risks encountered when working on a car. Always use common sense. You assume full and complete responsibility for the use of the information on this page.This isn't just theory. An old skating buddy lost a finger when his wedding ring was grabbed by a fan belt. I met a guy at MacDonalds who spent 2 weeks in the hospital when an open-carb backfire caused third degree burns over most of his forarm. Skin graft city. Imagine if his face had been by that carb.
