Small problems. But Urgent

[Sean]

I just Picked up a 1993 Acura integra Ls. Details: 5sp Manual, 2 door coupe, 193,xxx Miles, Lowered 4", Engine Stock. This thing is in great shape. Well when you look at it. Runs great!. Anyway now to the problems xD.


First thing I noticed Right away was That On the Drivers Side rear end it sat really low. I figured the strut was broken or the coil was worn out. or the coil mount broke. So i Jack it up, take the wheel off. Unbolt the top of the strut. Disconnect the strut from the control arm blah blah. Ok its off. Hmm coil mount was the shittiest thing i have ever seen. Ractive lowering coil / struts. Eww. there were 3 alan screws that held the coil mount in place and i could only get one to hold it in place. so i shoved a washer in there. PROBLEM SOLVED! i think? good enough lol. Then taking the rear end apart. lol rear end. I noticed all of the bushings were toast. I ordered new ones. Thats that with that problem.


Next,

On my way home from picking up the car, it was pouring down raining and it was cold. So the windows fog up Ok i turn the heat on and the defroster. Hmm heats coming out but wait! Its not blowing the heat out. I think its the fan nob or the heater blower motor you tell me.

3rd,

Ok you know those annoying seat belts that slide forward when you open the door. Ok yeah well i like them so dont hate. But they dont work. i checked the fuses no cigar xD. Help?

Last,

Ok. so the passenger window sometimes rolls down goes up slowly and the drivers side never does ether. thats a problem. I took the door panels off and well yeah thats as far as i got. i unplugged some wire that looks like it connects to the window motor. and it was full of water =O maybe it short circuited the motor? idk but its going to be a pain in the ass to get too or replace. This one i dont even know what to do so, any help is greatly appreciated. Im a student in high school and cant show off a car that has problems. xD. And its nice to just have a car that works right haha.

The reason these are urgent is because i go back to school in a week. I wanna fix my car before then. Also im waiting for the bushings to come in the mail and my cars apart already so might as well fix the other problems ehh?

Thats all so far i will keep you updated. I been browsing this forum for quite a few days now, i have problems with my car so i figured i would join and post. Thanks And please any answers are appreciated. no flames xD


Here is some pics of my trade. BTW i traded a 91 4x4 ranger piece of shit for this car xD
This is the night i got the car.

Rims baby. Its funny because these are the same ones my mom has on here 2006 ford escape. Hers are crome tho. xD

If you look in the rear above the wheel you can see that its way low.

Also i think its slightly low in the front to. but ill just adjust the coil height

well I don't know about your other problems but as far as your window motor just go to a Junk yard and pick one up and try to get the motors for the seat belts too. Just remove the big as rear panels and youll see the motors.

I know it sounds like a pain in the ass but once you get the parts it won't take more than a few hours to take it all appart switch the parts and put it all back together.

Witch panel? were exacly is it located? And how the hell do i get the window motor out? and it might not be the motor it could be the switch.

sounds like a blower motor, its in a big black box behind/under the glove compartment and will be a big squirrel cage type fan

as for the window motor, i believe you need to take the windows out first, im sure if you search online there are some DIY's floating around
these others aren't really clear questions... what do you need help with specifically?
as for the teg is pretty clean! id get some new wheels pronto!

 

[01FTW]

lowered 4 in.? thats fucking low. 2nd gen tegs must stand pretty high stock eh?

In due time flailing around huffing and puffing won't fix anything take your time and do the research

 

[rvasquez6089]

for your ac/heater blower. might wanna check something called a resistor set. before you check the blower motor. ( i need to do that myself. only the high and extra high parts of the ac nob work) and for the windows here is this article from g2ic.com

i need to do that also. good luck showing off your car lol. ppl at my school don't know anything about cars and if it looks old it sucks to them lol they have no idea what an integra is.

Your car looks great for a 17ish year old car. You're complaining about a faulty window, some minor wack suspension, and the heater? Things do evetually go out dude.

I hate it when people come to the forum and bash on their 10+yr old integra just because it's weary. Most things will evetually go bad and need to be replaced. 17years is damn good for something with that milage

Do i need to take the dash apart to get to the blower motor?

As for the seatbelt It should move up when i open the door. But instead it just stays in place. I checked the fuses and there fine. I don't even know where the seatbelt motor is. o.o .

Also For the Wheels. I like them. there better then stock. But thats my opinion.

I know it. Im not bashing. It would just be nice to get it fixed up. I got an extremely good deal on it too. And the suspension is a very big deal, same as the bushings because having bad bushings can cause lots of dmg to the suspension over time. It would be nice to be able to roll my window down too lol. The heater is a big deal, i cant see when its cold out because my window fog up. And my windows dont roll down...... -.- so yeah. It is a really nice car for its age i love it. anywho time to work on it xD

 

[Sean]

The window motor is a pain in the ass to get too.... And i called acura and they will fix my seatbelts for free. The heater is most likely the blower motor. I checked the resistor and it looked fine. But please any advice id love to hear it.

Well you take your door panel off find where the motor is and see what type of bolts are holding it in and get it out it's probably pretty tight in there but if you want it bad enough you'll get it out trust me. And try the switch first you might be right.

The rear panel ... you know.. on each side of the rear seat goes all the way back to the trunk....

1990 integra ls automatic. few problems need some assistance please. only sumtimes when i start it it runs rough the engine shakes and it almost dies. i turn it off then start it again and it runs rough for about 5- 10 seconds then idles ok. it happend after i was speeding around. is it the main relay? or the feul pump? i have new plugs, wires, and distributer cap already.
#2
it is verry slow in first gear no acceleration at all it seems. more gas just seems to make it slower ...kinda. it just creeps to about 15-20 mph then shift and does ok after that. it just feels like sumthing iis holding it back. could it be gunk in the modulator valve?? and also where is this modulator located?

#3 i have a check engine light that comes on and off. while driving it comes on but if i come to a stop it goes off. the guy that owned it before me said the shift lock was locked and he just broke it and because of that the check engine goes on an off. could the shift solinoid thing be the root of all my problems? please help

Id get your timing checked and clean your IACV. But sounds like a bigger problem then just that.
