Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Is the thermostat causing this?

    1991 Accord LX... Takes a while for the engine to warm up, and not until the engine warms up, does the heat inside the car start to work...

    I'm thinking its the thermostat... Anybody else think something different?

    Is something like this a problem for CB7s? Or is it common?

    Thanks

      Definitely sounds like the thermostat. It's either stuck open, or not there at all.

      Do yourself a favor if you replace it; buy Genuine Honda. The aftermarket thermostats are crap.

        Way ahead of ya there... Only going OEM with the thermostat... Thanks for the advice...

        Quick question... I don't have the car yet. Hopefully if all goes well, I'll be buying it in a couple days... Are there any DIY's or diagrams I can look at that shows me the removal/replacement of the thermostat, or at least its location?

        Thanks

          Buy a Haynes manual. It'll be probably second best investment if you are really buying this Accord. It'll show you how to do a lot of things with diagrams and pics but be explained in a simple way that any joe can understand.

          There was a website that someone had uploaded the whole manual in PDF but i can't find it anymore.

          Replacing the tstat is really simple. Just follow the upper radiator hose back to the head of the car where you see an electrical wire coming out of it. That is the tstat housing and the temp sensor. As you know when you undo those two bolts, anti freeze will spill out so that will also mean you will need to top off your coolant and then bleed the system of air otherwise it'll cause a revving problem in the engine.

          Now is your chance to replace the hoses too if they look old and bloated because you don't want to have to rebleed the system another time because a line blew down the line.
