I am getting 13 miles per gallon. what is wrong?
Your O2 sensor (or oxygen sensor) is located on your exhaust system. One placed before your coverter to measure the efficiency of the combustion in your engine by measuring the amount of oxygen left in the exhaust stream. The second O2 sensor is placed after the converter and its job is to measure the effiecency of the converter in filtering out harmful gases in the exhaust by compairing its reading to the sensor paced before the converter. If your O2 sensor has failed it will tell the car's computer that it is running too lean (more air than fuel) by default. Since the computer thinks the car is running lean, it now is adding more fuel to the mixture to try and compensate for the lean condition and will always have a check engine light on. If there is no check engine light on then it probably is not a faulty O2 sensor. Have a qualified technician run a fuel consumption test and go from there.

A green key shaped light is flashing on the
The green key flashing means that the key you are use is not registered to the car. If you just cut a new key for your car(it has to be a honda key, not a walmat key) your honda dealer will have to program it to your car. If it's a old key, maybe the chip in the key might be bad, time for a new key. good luck.

91 Honda CRX HF won't crank
This may sound obvious but have you checked the battery? Batteries are generally considered old if they are over 5 years old. A battery can hold a full charge but struggle when put 'under load'. Starter motors use a lot of power to work. Get it "Load Tested" to see if it needs replacing.

I need the the vacuum hose routing diagram for a 1986 honda accord with fuel injection unless this diagram is the same for a 87 as well
I can provide you with some general guidance on how to find the vacuum hose routing diagram for your 1986 Honda Accord.
- Vehicle Owner's Manual: The owner's manual for your Honda Accord may contain a vacuum hose routing diagram. Check the section on engine specifications or emissions control to see if the diagram is included.
- Underhood Sticker or Decal: Look for a sticker or decal on the underside of the hood or near the radiator support. Some vehicles have a vacuum hose routing diagram printed on this sticker for easy reference.
- Repair Manual: A comprehensive repair manual specific to your Honda Accord, such as a Haynes or Chilton manual, will often include vacuum hose routing diagrams. These manuals provide detailed instructions and diagrams for various systems in your vehicle, including the vacuum system.
- Online Resources: Search for online resources or forums dedicated to Honda Accord enthusiasts. Many online communities have members who share diagrams, tips, and information related to vehicle maintenance. These resources can be helpful in finding the specific vacuum hose routing diagram for your vehicle.
- Dealership or Mechanic: If you're unable to find the diagram through the above methods, consider reaching out to a Honda dealership or consulting with a qualified mechanic. They may have access to technical manuals or specific diagrams that can assist you.
Keep in mind that vacuum hose routing diagrams can vary between model years and engine configurations, so it's important to find the diagram that matches your exact vehicle specifications.

I have a 2008 Honda Civic where the AC condenser fan is not working
Sure, I can help you with that. Here are some possible reasons why the AC condenser fan in your 2008 Honda Civic is not working:
- The fuse is blown. The fuse is responsible for providing power to the condenser fan. If the fuse is blown, the fan will not be able to operate. You can check the fuse by looking at it in the fuse box. If the fuse is blown, you will need to replace it with a new one.
- The relay is faulty. The relay is responsible for sending power to the condenser fan. If the relay is faulty, the fan will not be able to operate. You can check the relay by looking at it in the fuse box. If the relay is faulty, you will need to replace it with a new one.
- The fan motor is faulty. The fan motor is responsible for turning the fan blades. If the fan motor is faulty, the fan will not be able to operate. You can check the fan motor by listening for any unusual noises or vibrations. If you hear any unusual noises or vibrations, then the fan motor may need to be replaced.
- The wiring is damaged. The wiring that connects the condenser fan to the fuse box or relay may be damaged. If the wiring is damaged, the fan will not be able to operate. You can check the wiring by looking for any signs of damage, such as cuts or fraying. If the wiring is damaged, you will need to repair or replace it.
If you have checked all of these possible causes and you are still having problems with the condenser fan, you should contact a qualified mechanic for help.
Here are some tips to help prevent condenser fan problems in the future:
- Have the condenser fan checked regularly. This will help to ensure that it is in good working order.
- Avoid overloading the AC system. This can put unnecessary strain on the condenser fan and other components.
- Clean the condenser coils regularly. This will help to ensure that they are able to dissipate heat effectively.

What causes a 2008 Honda odyssey to quit while running?
all cars can stall running for up to 50+ reasons
a running EFI engine is not simple, at all like 1960s..
bad batteries happen even lugs loose/rusty
the 15 year old battery is bad, or is 2nd one now dead. as the mostly all are over 7years, 10y is max max.
well gee, we do tests not gue$$ is this a guess only post.
not told why a shop fix is not in the cards?
what's the goal here, buy tools and test or guess?
jump the car, it runs.
then see charger lamp in dash failing <<< THAT"?
here is guess list, (my pack of lies,grin)
1: battery is bad if over 6 years old easy.
2: fuses blown even a 25cent fuse, blown. for sure to ALT.
3: battery lugs a mess. 4 ends. 2cables, checked. for mess.
4: alternator bad. or installed wrong , battery connector and 2 to or more fuses to it blown rendering the new good alt , born dead (in fact just offline)
low battery voltage causes all computers on the car to go mad and random fails and lies. even DTC lies told
10vdc blow that they all lie.
my battery has date code and 2016 stamp is no good.
learn to find and read battery date codes. or keep records
pretty much the first thing to fail on any car is that , the battery. they are short lived, 6 to 10 years
it is for sure the Achilles heel of car. (the chain with one weak link bingo battery.
when you hear starter motor slow down at 6 years old
bingo a huge clue to the ears, is that.
any shop can find this is 30min work.
one can take any battery out of dead car and get it load tested in most autostore for zero cash.
it must be charged first then load tested.
one can take a good battery from car B to this dead car
and drive to a shop close, under 30mins. drive.day time head lamps off.
then they test alternator.(using tools) and all fuses good.
