    Odd sound, hesitation on startup

    Thank you! I didn't want to state that the battery is 7 years old and morte than likely, due for a replacement. The symptom would appear to be insufficient cranking power.

    Odd sound / hesitation at startup

    Rebuilt my starter on 95 LC 1 year ago and no problems in 3000 miles. Recently, after attempting to start, truck hesitated and made "beating" noise, before engine caught. This occurred again after driving, shutting the truck down for a few minutes then re-starting. It doesn't act like the...

    Odd sound, hesitation on startup

    I rebuilt the starter on my 95 LC about 1 year ago and in the 3000 or so miles since, it has started flawlessly. Recently, I went to start the truck and it cranked then seemed to be trying to stall, but caught. It wasn't similar to the usual starter issues where it fails to engage completely...

    Noise which builds with speed

    It variously sounds like a tire with a flat spot or a mechanical part that is not lubricated but it increases and decreases with speed. Casual observation of tires, they appear ok. Any suggestion for drive line components? Is a relatively low pitched sound but sounds like it is from a...

    Another Head Gasket Repair Journey

    Are the folks who advocate an HG as a PM or those who have to do it out of necessity, replacing the radiator, fan clutch and water pump at the same time?

    "Moan" from rear end when stopping on hill

    Thanks for the comments -I have a 95 with discs all round, about 130K on the vehicle.

    "Moan" from rear end when stopping on hill

    I used the term moan because its much lower than a screech and not at all grinding. Happens when I'm going downhill and gradually come to a stop. No repeat on the flat. Thanks

    Noob- In Iraq

    Ditto on the thanks and gratitude. God bless you and stay safe.

    Opinions wanted on HG as PM

    I share this point of view and not solely because of the time and money involved with replacing the HG. It seems to me that in a previous thread where someone thought a class action could be mounted against Toyota because of LC -HG failure, CDan shot that down with some interesting facts...

    Interest in a 80 pricing thread?

    Budget is the ultimate guide. If I were selling my 95, the price would probably be arbitrary in the sense that I'm the original owner, have all the records and can document that the majority of the miles were on the highway. Above a certain mileage, without records, you would have to presume...

    Loud "moan" when coming to a stop on steep downhill

    It only seems to happen when going downhill and coming to a stop. Sound ceases when foot removed from brake pedal. Not positive if sound is coming from front or rear.

    I thought that I had graduated to 1 Banana, Guess not--need your help

    I sometimes have occassion to dismantle machinery that has been in place for 20-30 years with bolts that have tempted me to drilling after heating and impact wrenches have no effect. As others point out, leverage is king.

    I think my water pump is on its way out

    The original fan clutch on my 1995 LC was very weak at 120K miles. The difference with the nwe one, particularly the "roar" at start up first thing in the morning is very noticeable. If you do a search on fan clutch, you might find a lot of symptoms that resemble what you are experiencing...

    You guys weren't kidding about this HG bitness!

    ATF 4X - Transmission Flush

    I've owned Acura Legends since they came out in 1986 up to a 1995 at present. Additionally, I've had a couple of LC's, presently a 1995. LC's trans don't have the vulnerability that the Legends do so the standard drain / fill process works ok. Hondas are finicky about Honda trans fluids as...

    Towing larger trailers with an FZJ80...

    As others have said, 5K# is the adviseable limit. I did it with a 95LC and it was great on the flat, easily maintaining 70+mph. On I-70 on the way up to the Eisenhower tunnel it was another matter - engine redlined and sitting behind the semis, being passed by some. A nice big domestic V8 or...

    Super Charger and Towing in the Rockies

    Sorry to not fit the profile you seek for comparison, but in towing 4K accross the same stretch as I-70 you mention, I had the same speeds and RPM's with a non-supercharged 95LC.

    Noise when stopping and going up hill

    Good question - probably both.

    Noise when stopping and going up hill

    When my 95LC comes to a stop there is a sort of low pitched whine which starts upon breaking and stops when the vehicle comes to a stop. Going up steep hills, there is something that sounds like a gear whine, low pitched. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    How cold should the AC be?

    I lived in Chicago for 3 years and the balance in LA with my 95 LC. I notice that when I go back to Chicago in the summer, the AC feels more effective, possibly because its cooling very humid air. In LA when its over 100, its very hard to cool any car that's also soaking in the sun. I can't...
