My mechanic checked er over and determined it's the alternator. I guess I'll find out if anything else is wrong if more idiot lights go off on my dash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robroy Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 you all have fun now. I have to go car shopping , my accord died. Front bearing went bad, sheared the crank, put lots of metal in the engine. It still ran even though the harmonic balance was not turning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Oh, Robroy....I read your post on Gas Talk Radio, didn't understand it, but was hoping it wasn't your engine.....That really stinks. Unless you like shopping for cars, that is! At least if you're looking for a used car, supposably folks are trading in like crazy, due to that "employee pricing gimick" the dealerships are running..I still feel very, very sorry for you. Car shopping is a pain!!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
