What is needed for a basic tune up on a 1992 honda accord?

My grand-daughter has a 92 accord that is starting to run rough. I have tuned up older cars in past, but the spark plug wires on her Honda appear different than american made cars. Is there a difference?What is needed for a basic tune up on a 1992 honda accord?the most critical adjustment to that car in terms of performance, fuel economy and driveability is the valve adjustment. the valves on that car should be checked and adjusted every 15,000 miles. my guess is that if you can't remember when they were last adjusted that the valve adjustment will go a long way in the idle quality.



the spark plugs sit in tubes that run between the top of the valve cover and the cylinder head where the plugs are threaded in. you need an ratchet extension to get the plugs out.



the cap and wires need to be inspected if they are old; change them if they have any oil on them.



beyond the plugs, air filter, cap, rotor, wires and valve adjustment the "tune up" usually includes other services like brake inspection, transmission fluid change, oil and filter change. those are not responsible for the idle problem but should be done every 30,ooo miles. again, if you don't know the last time they were done you should probably do them.



lastly, look into the throttle body and see if there is a build up of carbon around the throttle plates. if there is, use a spray carburetor cleaner to dissolve it. carbon will cause the throttle plates to hang up and give you the rough idle.



I think you should start with the valve adjustment and go from there.



hope that helpsWhat is needed for a basic tune up on a 1992 honda accord?There can be a difference in the way that the plugs sit farther down inside the engine requiring a different style wire...



With these cars keep a close eye on the oil level and If it hasn't had a timing belt change recently be sure to get one or that cyl. head will be trashed..What is needed for a basic tune up on a 1992 honda accord?very easy to work with just pull the wires off and to replace they should fit right in.... and LOGAN is not an auto tech he's a cowboy and never experienced hondas before, that car can live more than himWhat is needed for a basic tune up on a 1992 honda accord?
A car crusher. Don't waste money on that car. Drive it till it dies and get something of quality.
