Questions About Acura Parts People

Ruth asks…

Why do people buy american made cars?

With companies like Chrysler, GM, and Ford....with unreliable cars that may make it past 130k miles if lucky, horrible depreciation to ensure you will be upside down in car debt, and poor build quality along with poor parts.....Why do people buy these cars? It's just asking for trouble. I've had an Acura and never had problem one with it but when I was dumb and bought american made cars I was constantly in the shop, had one blow up on me and was always upside down in car debt.

admin answers:

First I have to disagree with you on the quality. Second are you one of those persons who complain that all the good manufacturing jobs are going overseas? And there are no good paying jobs left here? Maybe it is your driving habits and scheduled maintenance, as stated I have had no problem with American made cars and will continue to buy them. Upside down in car debt, not the manufacturers fault, but yours, don't finance for 100% and over and you will not have that problem. All cars lose value after driving them off the lot.

Lisa asks…

What's so appealing about a 4 door, 1990 Acura Integra? People are always asking to buy it.?

It's missing a hubcap, cracked windshield, leaks oil, 2 windows don't roll down and the other 2 barely roll up. The a/c doesn't work, the seats and steering wheel are shredded, the antenna is busted off. It's 20 year old parts are one by one having to be replaced, yet I have had more offers on it than any car I have ever had. I've had people ask me stop lights, parking lots and even knock on my door asking. What's the deal?
Also, I have never once seen a 4 door 1990 Integra. Although, I have seen many 1990 Accords with 4 doors, but no Integras. Could this be a factor?

admin answers:

Because they are amongst the best smalls car out there to start a project - a souped up little car. Great engines and chassis, lots of parts available. I'm guessing all of the inquiries you get are young men, right?

They'll probably pay you more than an ordinary person would, so if you're thinking about getting a new car, find one of them to buy it and get something nicer!

Steven asks…

Honda (acura) people, i have a question?

can any one tell me what is under the cover on the left (front) valve cover 1990 3.2 v6. It has a rubber hose leading to the intake manifold. I was thinking it was part of the PCV system, but then i noticed that was on the other side. Is it EGR? Or maybe IAC? I found a picture of it online (the cover any way). It's making weird noises, and i don't want to tear into it without first knowing. Pic> http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1339/1641/3345820014_large.jpg

admin answers:

The left valve cover is actually the right valve cover. Standing on the passenger side fender (facing engine) is the front of engine. Now the hose you see is the PVC line. The left side is the breather hose. Https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T0Gb9ah7P1I96PCPzF6Em4KiKONgRX7DeojZlGbyZvM/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CLjq_sQD

Carol asks…

My 1990 Acura Integra gets stuck in park, wont allow keys to come out?

I have a 1990 Acura Integra LS. Sometimes, especially in the cold, when I put the car in park, the automatic shift will lock up, not allowing me to take my keys out of the ignition. After a while, it will come out tho. I've heard this happen to other people. What is going on and how can I fit it? Will acura send me any new parts?

admin answers:

This is the shift interlock system, I've seen many times cup holders very close to the shifter where soft drinks, coffee and so on get spilled into the shift causing the shift interlock solenoid to stick especially in cold temperatures. Sometimes they can be cleaned sometimes they can't. And no Acura will not send you any parts unless you want to pay for them, even if there is somekind of a recall you would have to take it to dealer to be repaired .
