Hello everyone, my name is Joel and im a newly registered member of this forum. This will be my first post.
I have been searching for a community of people with a wide range of knowledge and wisdom of Honda's, and I think I found the right place.
I recently purchased my first Honda a 2000 Honda Accord EX. I bought it thru an online auction site for cheap, drove it off the lot and took it to the dealer and had it get a basic tuneup.
The only things the car was missing was the center radio console, the rear view mirror and an original tire + rim and I bought original parts in auction sites online.
People I know have mentioned that I need to change all kinds of things; ranging from belts to pipes and even gasoline filters. The car runs fine. But I did experience something awkward. When the car was idle, the engine sounded funny and made the car tremble as if it was running out of gas. I parked the car, and when I tried to restart it... it took 2-3 tries (something that never happened before) later that night the check engine light turned on for two days, then the next morning the check light turned off and no other problems.
I know these are a lot of questions, but I don't have another source of information and im really broke and can't afford the $89 dollar fee just for a mechanic to plug in a machine to tell me what might be wrong with it.
Thanks in advance
