1985 Honda Accord Questions & Answers
Flywheel spin loose
Flywheels are typically attached to the end of the engine crankshaft by 4 or more bolts, so having the crankshaft come loose is approaching a SEVERE AND DANGEROUS FAILURE.
This will require dismantling to the extent that the flywheel (if not too badly damaged) can be re-bolted and torqued in place WITH NEW BOLTS of the correct grade.
85 HONDA ACCORD WONT STAY RUNNING UNLESS PUMPING GAS NOT EVEN FULL THROTLE
You have a single fuel injector in it right. Try right at the end of the gas pedal cable at the engine there is an electrical plug and a little device that goes around in a circle when the gas is mashed. That is the throttle position sensor. Try unplugging that and if there is no difference in the revving then the throttle position sensor is out. If that is not the problem, then plug your engine into a an onboard diagnostic reader. 85 is an obd1.
HI REV START WONT IDOL DOWN 85 HONDA ACCORD
I had the same problem with mine! I spent what seemed like hours trying to figure it out. I finally gave up and just said, while I'm here I'll just do all my preventative maintenance checks and give up for now. I noticed while checking the radiator that the antifreeze was low so I added a little less than a couple of quarts, closed the hood, started it to move it back to the driveway and guess what? It fixed itself! I guess it was just low enough on fluid it was telling itself, "I need to warm up." Hey, maybe you'll get lucky and the same simple thing might be the problem. Also their is a (usually vac. controlled) switch located on the throttle linkage that allows your engine to de-accelerate "softer" instead of just dropping all at once when you let off the gas. I have seen these switches with age or dirt and grime, stick in a position that the throttle wont fall all the way down. A couple of things to check that my be a simple fix. Hope all works out for you!
