Common things that go on CB7's

[RCMits]

I am no "newbie" to forums, and have extensively already used search to "find" my answers... but since I am new to the boards thought I'd post:

What are the most common things on the CB7 / Accords that start to go bad over the years? We all know cars break down over time.. but each flavor of a car has its own distinctive problems that seem to happen.

I already am experiencing the "blinky Sports Lights" because I need to replace the VSS (yea speedo problem). Never experienced this on any other car I've owned....

What are some common things?

Thanks in advance!!

I never had a pcv valve go bad...

uhhhh, lower plug seals, front and rear motor mounts, main relay, like you and he said, cv joints and VSS, brake master cylinder (seals)

can't think of any others right now, but they usually go out after about 100k and things like the relay are an easy fix

1. Main Relay joints lose contact
2. Door Handle breaks
3. Glovebox gets loose
4. Window Regulators get weak
5. Door lock relay contacts go bad
6. EGR valve and EGR service ports get clogged with carbon deposits
7. Sparkplug Tube seals (esp#2) start to leak oil
8. Ignition Control Unit (in the distributor) goes bad (tach goes haywire)
9. Ignition Coil goes bad.
10. Rust around trunk/bumpers/wheel wells
11. Trunk leaks (at brakelight gaskets or window trim)
12. Ignition Switch goes bad
13. Someone jacks our car

Just to name a few

Those are just the ones ive experienced. Havent had too much leakage in the trunk though. But my Passenger Window is slowing down..even after a new motor, it still refuses to roll all the way down

its teh switch.

[MikeW]

no....it starts to go down but gets stuck after going down about 3 or 4 inches. If the rubber gets hot or is wet, itll go down easy. otherwise you gotta deal or really push down on it.
