- My first free car! Chris watches the channel and reached out to me on twitter ( / watchjrgo1198 . He said he had an old Accord and was going to scrap it or I could come get it. The car started right up when I got there and it made a horrendous power steering noise just like he said. We're going to drag it home, fix it, and try to have it back out of my life before the lockdown starts.

JR: "That's a lot of rust."
Me: "Laugh's from Minnesota!"
Love ya😂
Levin's Custom Builds or Michigan lol
Laughs from Quebec, Canada... ...in a Mazda :)
Laughs from Wisconsin
Laughs from Cleveland
Eyyyyyy Minnesota fam :3
6:55 HIS SMILE DIES SO FAST
I paid 20K for that same model and color back in 2002. I loved that car and it was free?? Wow! LOL!!
Gotta love depreciation lol. That's why I won't buy new cars anymore.
It would still be worth a few bucks if it wasn't so totally rusted out. That's the kind of thing you see up north a lot.
@@zxggwrt not true it is worth $1000 . Just the catyltic converter is worth $450 the guy who gave it away is a dumbass
@@zxggwrt Don't think of it as rust. Think of it as weight reduction.
@@dylanbenker2043 By few bucks I mean real money. $1000 is ok but if it was in superior condition I could get twice that or more.
Your quick fix/flip videos are the best. I love how you put in a day's work (give or take) and give life to an old car. Keep them coming.
I was TOTALLY SHOCKED to see you with a car with broken hood struts...wait..nevermind!
A new set online is $20 too, not like they're expensive
I've aquired alot of cars with sticks.. Man, why do people not take care of that, they are soo easy.
@@doylesmith8678 because it's easier to just use a prop lol
Its cool that you will give of your time and skills basically free to offer a car to someone that just needs transportation. You're a good guy. That's why I like this channel.
O'Reilly Auto Parts: "Oh, you again?"
His face changed from 7:01 to 7:06 when the Honda didn’t start. 😂
He should have traded it for some toilet paper
Dunno if this is what caused it, but for older cars that may not have started in a while, you just gotta keep the key in the “on” position and wait a bit to let the fuel pump prime up.
My mom’s car does it sometimes when it hasn’t started in a few days, and it only has around 70k miles.
It’s because them Honda’s have a anti thrift mode I have a 8th gen civic I can’t start it unless I have the original key because there’s a sensor that disables the anti theft
@@jacksonshelton8055 cycle the key a couple times then try it.
i got a 2000 honda accord, its the "immobilizer system" for the car. if you use the wrong key it wont start at all.
When I was a kid, my mom bought a brand new 2000 Accord V6 with the premium sound. I was all of 13. She went into Blockbuster, I sat in the car and cranked up the volume, was blaring Country Grammar by Nelly. Out comes Mom darting out of the Blockbuster before she could even find a movie, told me to "turn that damn bass down" because she could hear it inside the store. Lol.
Just bought a $200 accord today thanks for the inspiration
6:55 - chip transponder key. Other key locks glovebox/ doors.
Just watched your Prius video. I just changed 2 engine mounts and fixed 2 oil leaks on my 97 Odyssey. It took me a day and a half. You changed the entire engine in 6 hours! Impressive to say the least. Enjoyed the video.
Nice way of you to help someone out and it makes for good content. I'd drive that Honda no problem, honestly. Beats walking and it has 4 doors for a family. Thanks for keeping it on the road. In Japan, that car would have been scrapped about 17 years ago or less.
9 times out of 10, draining and filling the transmission fluid gets rid of or at least softens up hard/slippery shifts on these cars.
I've had good luck with the Lucas Transmission Fix.
Spenser Chalkley they all do it too! It’s crazy.
lol 9 times out of 10 it makes it slip and not work at all ... if you get rid of the auto clutch dust in the oil it wont even move
take it slow
Honda went through a few years when they had a lot of transmission troubles. Only the V6’s were affected. Some still went
250,000 miles trouble free. A black eye for Honda.
I have to give you Thumps up on the quick turn-over. I know the company's that make the lift struts for hoods and trunks are grateful for your work.
Thank you Chris! This is my favorite style video. Awesome video JR! Stay safe, stay home!
Had a 98 Accord EX with the 3.0. Loved that car. I drove it for years and then both my kids drove it. That’s a lot of rust for a Honda in Wichita it seems to me.
Going hard late into the night!!! Good job man. Will definitely make a great car for someone to get around in. Also you really need that t-shirt for buying hood struts with every car.
It's interesting to watch you diagnose repair and basically give away the cars. Totally awesome.
Being a guy that has owned at least 8 Honda's, I love watching you work on something I can relate to. I still have my 2000 Prelude summer car with 36K on the clock. Great cars and easy to work on so keep up the great work. Missing the girl! Where is Amber hiding these days?
Honda Dude 👍🏻 I have a 92 civic si hatch 🚗with 458 thousand kms on it,runs great still. Starts at -42 Celsius no block heater or nothing. I also have a 2001 prelude,5 speed,leather,summer car only, just over 160 thousand kms (100 thousand miles) Greetings from British Columbia 😎
Awesome video! Still looking to find an old Accord like that... well, maybe without all the rust. Can't wait to see what you work on next!
The way JR snaps his fingers, and points at the camera, is just so frickin cool, he IS the man!
The silver key doesn't have the transponder in it... Use for emergency door opening...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Richard Cole i thought the hardware store was ripping me off my honda’s need codes keys
That’s what I have as well.
I keep one of those in my wallet for emergency use in case I lock my keys in the car. I have done this with every car I have owned. It saved my butt once when I locked the keys in the car with the engine running at a gas station.
The green light is the immobilizer light for the key. meaning it's not programmed to be recognized by the immobilizer unit, or it simply just doesn't have a chip which in that case it's just a key to unlock the door. I actually work professionally at a Honda dealership and I have come to appreciate these little cars. It interests me and sometimes frustrates me watching other people try and work on honda because i'm either impressed that they understand what they are doing or I want to pull my hair out watching them haha. From other video's I feel like you have a decent knowledge base when it comes to these cars so keep up the good work! It's the newer systems that can start to give you headaches, but you learn to appreciate them so don't be scared to buy a newer honda!! So long as you have the right scan tools that will access information/learning procedures that otherwise would not be accessible.
I have the same Silver V6 2000 - 250K miles from new and no problems or significant rust. Great car! Would love to have one like this as a source of parts, especially the interior as mine is showing its mileage! There was also a recall issued for these Accords for the airbag so good to mention to the next owner to get fixed.
I’d love to have a flip challenge with ya 😂 - Rabbit
Honda power steering pumps are loud if you don’t use certain fluid
True. I wouldnt have known this, but I had to fill mine recently
Yep, different formula - need to use Honda power steering fluid, rather than the generic stuff.
dingding
Agreed! I owned 3 Honda's and very familiar with their power steering fluids... guess why I know it lol !
It's best to run them dry. Or put some rocks and dirt in them
JR my dad got the same car new. That is a factory Clarion Radio in the Accord the radio is nice Accord EXVL quick fun ride
So glad you’re doing more of these videos
I replaced the pressure line on a 98 Prelude and YES it was a major pain in the A$$. Getting it off want so bad it was putting it back on. Trying to screw the hard line into the rack was not easy when you can't see and only one hand!! Great video as always!! Tail light gaskets are known to go bad and water leaks in them. It's pretty common on most Honda's.
Great video. Good car for someone in need and much better helping someone than sitting in a driveway.
This episode reminds me of cars where I grew up in NY that rusted because of the salt on the roads in the winter.. My dad had a Ford Pinto and a Chevy Nova. On both cars you could watch the road go through the floorboards or the bottoms of the doors as you were driving along. Cheap transportation to get to work and pay the bills...
It's great that you do low cost 'transportations' for people who just need to work and get somewhere.I used to do the same,'for the cost'as I knew it's hard.I started my first good job with a bike,and not 2 months savings got me 'basic wheels'.Thank you for watching out for the ordinary people too.Most of us aren't"Supercar" people.
Nice job getting the Honda back on the road! At least for a little while. 🇺🇸🚜👍
I had a power steering pump fail on my 01 Accord while I was on the interstate three hours from home. Made for a really interesting drive. Great arm workout going in and out of a McDonald's parking lot for dinner :D. It was in about the same shape as this pump here - lots of shaft play, horrific grinding noises, etc.
I had a white 98 accord coupe with the V6 I loved that car. They definitely get up and go. I also have a 2000 Acura TL which is basically the same thing as the accord just luxury and abut more power. Transmission slips bad in it now but it was a fun car to drive 😎.
I’ve had 12 Honda’s they are amazing cars. The exterior may not be in the best cosmetic condition but with just a couple items fixed it will run forever.
12 says they are not so great bud lol unless your 75.
No i just have a really bad habit of buying cars and not holding onto them long. They have never left me stranded and always kept me safe.
I did one of those power steering hoses on an 03 TL-S. Sawzalled that lower fitting lol. Took 3 tries to get the right part, pain in the ass!!
You don't add fluid to the brake reservoir. If the reservoir is low, either you have a leak or your brakes are worn.
Or you were thirsty and drank it. Mmmmm
These V6 accords are worth saving. So nice fully loaded with the fake wood, leather, heated seats, sunroof, alloy rims, and of course the upgraded V6 engine instead of 4Cyl. Kinda like Camry LE vs XLE v6
I work at a Honda dealer. A long time customer gave me a 2002 Accord V6 that was towed in with a broken ball joint and a previously diagnosed slipping trans. Oddly enough he had bought the car from us when I first started working and the dealership 10 years ago. New Lower ball joints, 1 strut. 1 axle and fixing leaking sunroof drains that flooded the interior and she was good to go. Great driving car with plenty of power. Sold it to a friend for his daughter’s first car with the disclaimer that trans was weak and the car would be done once the trans went. It was still going strong up until 2 weeks ago when she totaled it.
This type of video is my favorite . Find - Fix - Flip
I've had a white '01 Accord V6 Ex for almost 2 years, was my first car. Had the trans rebuilt when it stopped locking the torque converter after I bought it around 180k. Now I'm nearing 200k and she works amazing. The J30a1 is a tank of an engine if you treat her right.
Other little things, I also love the "full auto" AC control, as well as the coin holder to the left of the steering wheel is the perfect size to fit and dispense a pack of Extra gum. The Premium audio is very good, 6.5s and tweeters up front and 6x9s in the rear deck (although I upgraded mine). Love this car
Good cars, I like these gen Accords.
"Lots of rust" --- me rolling on the floor laughing..... I'm in Ohio - for us that's a creampuff!
Robert Williams same 216
+1 from Cleveland!
Cleveland yoooo this Honda cleaner than my 04 🤣🤣
For Honda’s ONLY USE GENUINE HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID!!!!
I use DEXCOOL for ALL my fluids
Every Honda owner everywhere. 😮
100%.. same for Automatic Transmission fluid.
hey guys can you check this listing and tell me what i should pay for this car or even if i should buy it i dont know cars well quite frankley. i would love a honda or Toyota regular 4 cylinder car no turbo boast or fuel help but they either already got 200k miles or have extreme cosmetic damage for ones in my price range
JR, you don’t know how long I been waiting for a Honda video
hondas are the best. confirmed that in my vids lol
Don’t worry, I hear JR has a car he can work on at home during quarantine.
I love when you do the buy and sell cars
We had a 99 Accord same version and the black key is the security key that is coded to the ignition. Gray is the door key. This was typically around that time to have coded keys, so the car couldn't start or get stolen without the actual key.
I would be interested in buying a flip car from you. I just need something to get me to and from work. I dont care what it looks like, just something that runs halfway decent. I love watching your channel. I live in West Wichita.
Watch out for subframe rust near the firewall. There is a design flaw where the ac would drop directly onto the subframe, especially in cold weather climates that use a lot of salt.
Same kind of rusting went with my 1986 Toyota Corolla AE82 Liftback. It was MINT inside, no usage signs anywhere (there were covers on seats) but the body and engine were almost gone. Engine smoked a bit and the body had literally HOLES COVERED WITH NEWSPAPER AND EPOXY by the previous owner - an old man. It took quite a hefty welding and visits to metal sheet shop and to paint shop to get the body fixed.. Engine required the basic things, honing, oversize piston rings and full valve seal changeup. Not bad for a 8 valve engine though. Then, two months later, it was trashed by thieves who broke in, smashed steering column, loaded some hifi systems from my neighbors car to the back of mine (as the trunk was huge) and stole my new Pioneer radio. Car was found burned 10 miles from my house two weeks later.
Love these flip videos!
We had a all metal, no transponder key cut for our crv when the keys got locked in by the Honda dealership that is solely for unlocking doors and I believe that might be what your other key you have is too. Does the same thing if you try to use it to start engine (Just cranks with a green key light.)
Great job! Helping others! Pro bono work......the real meanie! Jim
PS.....God bless you.....
I had to take my driver’s test on my dad’s1966Mustang fastback. High beam switch on the floor 3 speed stick no power brakes and no power steering. If you had to brake clutch downshift and turn high beams off good luck. It was highland green though.
We had a minivan with the same family of v6 motor. Drove it for 12 yrs and over 240k with little issues. Hardest thing I had to do was break the pulley bolt loose in order to change the timing belt. Anyway, great motor and super bullet proof car that was easy to work on. We finally sold it on to another family because the interior was worn out and the parts to fix various issues were more than the car was worth. It needed a lot of small things done. One thing odd is that the seal material on the rear door fixed window had turned gummy and sticky. In contrast to this car, our van had no rust but the interior was shot. That's the difference between an Arizona and Kansas car.
I have one of those v6 pulls pretty dam hard still haha
Great content as always!
Honda sound systems are really good. Even the cheapest models have awesome stock sound systems
Stay safe JR...and stay out of Home Depot...I swear these crazy bored people are trying to kill me!
Green flashing light in the gauge cluster is an immobilizer and sometimes something an block the signal from the transponder to the car causing it to just sit there and crank.
A nice old guy stopped by when I was stranded in my Trans Am. I was desperately trying to swap out the power steering pump, and was trying to break lines loose. He said, Use a punch and a hammer on the flats of the nuts, and then wrench it. It worked like a charm. I said "Holy Sh88888!" He responded, almost gasping, "Oh... I dont go for that cussin'" Thumbs up!
Don't forget to change the, "main fuel relay" cause the soldering inside the og relay tends to crack and on hot days impossible to start.
I had to do the high pressure hose on my odyssey which is essentially the same and I had to do pretty much the same thing. Threading on the new one was also a pita.
That car is very well made, despite the rust and trans issues. Even before making repairs, it started up after sitting for so long. That's definitely a credit to how well made Honda engines are.
Lockdown huh?? Damn!! We're still free in Oklahoma. For now! Good luck man, stay safe.
I guess you should be busy exploring your new home... new Tesla... thinking about new Copart walk around... Well Tk is doing Good ...
Tulsa Oklahoma went on lockdown today
Technically my county isn’t restricted at all... mostly farmland 💯
In the UK we have a weird half lockdown... The air is the clearest ever due to no planes and limited traffic. When you breathe in, you can smell.grass and cold, instead of diesel fumes. Very odd
@@blackcountryme now think about how clean the air is in China where they temporarily shut down all the factories. Probs the cleanest air in 200 years hahah
Try getting a seized pump off a 03 I6 trailblazer........ have fun.... it was bending the tool made to take it off, had to use a vice after pulling the whole fan unit out, even that was hard as hell..... so seized there wasnt a spec of rust in the bolt that holds the fan to the pump.... and we did that last year.
JohnR that great your being nice for selling this car 300 dollars, very awesome of you
Yayyy!!! A honda pos video adventure ahead lol
Boot water coming from blocked sunroof drains in the rear quarter panels?
The reason for the key is because it’s an immobilizer one is the valet key and one is the actual key to start the car. (Chip in the key for the immobilizer)
We’re under lockdown in Michigan! I’m trying to do a day by day video series as to surviving it, Making money has gotten almost impossible, So we’re building rock sliders for out Jeep!!!! Keep up the flipping jr. Good work
Watching this is September 2021: we're still in the two week lockdown to flatten the curve!!! 🤣
Woo! #500!
Seriously, it looks like that car lived in the east before it got to Kansas.
Dude love these quick flip vids
Master Xiong it’s the only way to do it!! Except he didn’t sell it yet did he? We’re in lockdown right now and I’ve flipped all kinds of crap lol.
Dude saying hi from San Francisco! Be safe!!
That's definitely the the noise of a dead honda p/s pump. Suuuuuper common problem and the hose as well. You can get aftermarket hoses nowadays from Gates or ACDelco. Usually the O-ring to the pump fails first, but hose problems on the J-series engines are common. I'd recommend doing a rebuild on the p/s pump instead of after market. You can get a rebuild kit from Honda fairly inexpensive the the aftermarket pumps are garbage typically. Same with the p/s rack. OEM or OEM rebuild only
oh and you want to use honda specific p/s fluid and the key to the flare nut is a flared crowfoot with an extension and breaker bar to avoid the cut off wheel ;)
Long time fan and commenter. I need a car bad! My clunker hasnt run since the flood and now city is fining me for it sitting in driveway! (crooks) I'll pay 350!
I want a free Accord! I paid $250 for my 2.3l three and a half years ago! :)
That accord had way more wrong with it than you saw. Jr is going to scrap it, and return the pump to the store.
You paid $250 too much
Trans will cost about 1800 to rebuild! Run it til it drops or flops! LOL! Get a used tire on the front, it is not worth putting a new tire on it if the trans is slipping, it may not go more than down your street one more time! lol For $300 someone can junk it when it stops moving and make money on it! I have an 03 V6 accord and those power steering pumps go out a lot. I have put 3 on my car, they are easy to do, thank God. Thanks for sharing! Take care and God bless you all!
I believe when bleeding power steering you are supposed to turn the wheel lock to lock with the engine off multiple times with the wheels off the ground before starting the vehicle.
7:01 the sheer look of "TF" got me
17:17 The top-of-the-line radio in this generation had a 6-CD changer, you got the mid-grade radio.
At 15:16, anybody else notice the oven in the garage...like IN THE GARAGE. How have I not noticed this before 😂
John
I hope that PS fluid was for Hondas I used universal once and within 1000 miles all seals were leaking and bearing was toast
Mmm toast. After that it tasted better
finally, some good fucking content (i've missed the flips man).
Yeah I've never gotten a free car but pretty close though pretty close anyway great video trees are the ones that I like you guys please stay safe don't get sick keep making videos
My friend had a v6 coupe. Thing was pretty wild. Pulled away from most cars he would race
You can just undo the return line and block off the return nipple with a short piece of hose and clamp. Put the return line in a container and turn the steering from lock to lock without starting, wheels must be in the air. Keep the reservoir full and wait until you see clear fluid. Much safer this way, works on any vehicle.
Green key light is when security on it confirms you transponder key is correct. If you put a key that isn't coded for the car -key pairs it will not start. It stores up to 4.
Nothing phases JR....I would just look under the hood, stare for a minute or two - and close it.
J R..keep a small vice-grip with ya to hold struts up.
John Ross, are you going to do any videos on Amber's Samurai build? And is she daily driving it like the original intention?
Well John Ross, you always find the most interesting sounds in your cars. This must be the worst.. :)
Silver Honda flip?! A JRGO classic!
New Honda Transmission Fluid - ATF Z1, Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil, and now Honda suggested DOT4 for the brake systems. Keep your old Honda's running another 10+ years.
Sad the homelink wasnt standard in my 06 4 cylinder exl accord but was standard on my 06 v6 accord. Figured if gen 6 had them in the v6, the gen 7 would have them on all (4&6 cylinder) ex and exl models.
Lock a vice grip onto bad hood struts to hold them, using sticks is dangerous because they are easy to knock over.
