- 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
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.
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.
That trans could probably survive a bit longer with a double drain and refill of Honda ATF.
Not the American versions. I did the same thing. I somehow managed 197k out of mine, when most bricked out at 90k. Ended up grabbing a JDM trans. 100% smoother, and I do regular trans flush about every 6 months.
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 ;)
Watching this is September 2021: we're still in the two week lockdown to flatten the curve!!! 🤣
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.
You don’t loose torque with an extension. You loose torque when not at a straight angle. So as long as it’s 100% straight it will be good.
Best car DIY flipping channel on TH-cam, even better than Goon Squad.
Goon Squad is in my hometown of Chattanooga.
My power steering pump went out but it has power assist. Turning wasn't that bad. $300 isn't that bad of a deal for that car.
Stay safe JR...and stay out of Home Depot...I swear these crazy bored people are trying to kill me!
Hey JR, just wondering, why do you never show/tell us how much profit you make off individual flips? Would love to see the breakdown! Great video :)
I made $0 on this one. I figured if I got the car free I better pass it on! 💯
So the tax man can’t get him lol.
@@WatchJRGo Haha thanks for the response dude! Cheers!
Seriously this is very little rust... I'd try trans fix liquid to save it for a few months.
Great job! Helping others! Pro bono work......the real meanie! Jim
PS.....God bless you.....
you can probably get a second transponder key for cheap at walmart.
i like how he threw that trans is starting to slip in there lol
That would be a fun car to ride around Wichita in.
Well better get stocked up if we go into lockdown here in Alberta
This wouldn't pass safety here with the holes through the trunk floor. Do you not have to safety the car to change owners? Stuff like that happens here since I'm in Ontario, Canada but we use salt on our roads in the winter.
I had forgotten to like until you made the joke about throwing your battery into the ocean. Theres a whole facebook group for that safe and legal thrill
I love that group 😂
JR has the moaning myrtle of power steering pumps
Probably has the Honda jbl audio in it
Hey I've got an idea, now that your going into lockdown you could work on the R8!
You don’t have to worry about anyone stealing that car
Hey man, I love the videos but I really don't want anyone else to be worried, This Is Not A Lock Down it is a stay-in, in other words you can leave your homes. With a lock down you can't leave your home whatsoever, if this is actually a lock down in your state, I apologize as in my state, it is just a stay in.
Continue to make awesome videos though!
the pump probably runned dry at some point i had the same problem
Sometimes it's okay to just let a car go.
Boot water coming from blocked sunroof drains in the rear quarter panels?
Those power steering pumps are tricky. My brother helped me adjust mine! :) i.imgur.com/z9FykzO.jpg
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.
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
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.
6:55 HIS SMILE DIES SO FAST
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.
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
I’d love to have a flip challenge with ya 😂 - Rabbit
O'Reilly Auto Parts: "Oh, you again?"
6:55 - chip transponder key. Other key locks glovebox/ doors.
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.
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.
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
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
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
I have one of those v6 pulls pretty dam hard still haha
"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!
Just bought a $200 accord today thanks for the inspiration
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.
Such a waste of an otherwise wonderful car. Can't understand why Honda let that transmission/6 cyl. problem go for so many years. Thanks JR, Hondas are good cars.
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
Was gonna say, go to a pick a part yard, find a couple doors and a trunk lid, and a quick paint job and she would be great.... till the trunk pan shot 😂
You are not gonna get parts for this 22yr old car in a junk yard sorry.
Sills looked fucked too, from the doors.
@@clydeb7713 wdym lmao there's tons of them here
@@clydeb7713 lol wym everyone has an accord
Jas Atwal 😂😂 your smoking crack
Hondas need honda only fluids. They're not like Chrysler or GMC where you can put anything you want 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.
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.
Replacing the power steering pump: 5 minutes
Cleaning up all the spilled and leaking power steering fluid: 1 hour
Oh man, hopefully it's gone asap
Guy was like “I’ll be there in 20 minutes” and he was 🍻
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
Good cars, I like these gen Accords.
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
Bro I just got a 99 V6 accord.
Engine works good, BUT transmission doesn’t engage. U can put p-N-D and nothing
sounds like she's purring like a kitten with Covid-19. Nice Score. You can find everything you need at the junkers. New Doors, Parts. Hey, could you paint one of these junkers one of these days.
Perfect example of the problem with older Hondas: RUST
2003 Eclipse GTS was the worst
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
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.
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)
Hey , why the clickbait ? We're not under any total lockdown here ! Stay at home only . We go out to get groceries ,t.p. etc. Peace .
What's the mileage on that Honda JR?
I was wondering that too
You don’t lose torque with extensions. Also you should not be adding torque when using an extension with a torque wrench.
Hooray for being an essential employee!
Yes sir but I'm self employed so hooray!
Most jobs are 9-5 so you don’t need to be “essential” 😂
never been this early. lucky i woke up from my nap when i did.
wya where its naptime haha
@@DmDetails it's always naptime somewhere.
The Green Key light just means the key is in the car but it's weird how the other key doesn't start the car never seen that one before
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
If I bought this I'd probably try to fix some of the rust. That door could either be replaced with one from a junk yard or some scrap aluminum could be riveted over the hole. And the rust on the decklid could be fixed with a sander and some bondo. A little bit of touch-up spray paint and some power washing followed up by black Rustolium on the undercarriage and it'd be passable to last another fifty thousand miles.
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 😎
I can't believe you fixed the brake missing brake fluid by just adding more..... why was it missing? That NEEDS to be addressed if you want to hand this over to a new owner with a good conscience.
I bet it has rusty brake lines.
Thats called a felony hole. Id really like 2 do what u do, buying cars that people have sitting around then fixin n flippin em. Blowin out gas n fluid does not sound like a good time.
This type of video is my favorite . Find - Fix - Flip
I live in Wichita ks and we need a bee car I'm o ky 16 and I rlly wanna just do something nice and get my mom n step dad a new car
Already sold! 🍻
Don’t worry, I hear JR has a car he can work on at home during quarantine.
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.
its also got worlds shittiest auto trans that breaks all the time
I am having trouble understanding how using an extension on an impact driver reduces the torque by half. Not the physics I was taught in school!
I don’t know the scientific number (there’s really not one) but I can demonstrate the loss in the real world any day of the week. On a constant torque device it’s almost none. On a 1/2” impact through a 3/8” extension it’s nearly 50% you can overcome it by bumping the impact up again. 🍻
It is called twisting... The torque twists the extension to some extent so some energy is lost.
What Max wrote. The metal extension literally bends/twists when you apply force on it, and the longer the extension the more force is lost (ie not reaching the bolt).
As an example in an extreme case, think of a rubber band. The longer the band, the more force is lost (you can twist the mess out of it). The metal doesn't lose that much energy, obviously, but it's the same principle.
They make torque limiters for impact wrenches using the same theory. The thinner ones are springy and have a lower torque rating. I wouldn't trust them with my nuts but the theory is sound. Use torque wrench only.
If I could work on the Honda with Watch JR Goes I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.
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.
genius move to use the p/s fluid to give the car the honda the "Royal Flush Spa Treatment"
$300 for a 3.0L V6 Accord? Thats a huge steal.
Figured if I got it for free the next guy should too, it was $300 in parts so that's what he got it for 🍻
JR, you don’t know how long I been waiting for a Honda video
hondas are the best. confirmed that in my vids lol
Hey im From KCMO (Northland) Im 24 and have a 4 year old little girl..
Currently out a car been looking for a used car for awhile now. maybe we can get in touch if you have something sometime!
been watching for about a year now! LOVE the videos dude! (Btw Sale Supervisor at Harbor Freight)
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.
This is my first car from 16 years ago. Still have it with 98k miles on it 👍🏽
It took me two full days to change the high pressure power steering hose on my 2007 Buick Lucerne. I now know why the repair shops around here charge $800 for the job.
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.
I would be happy to have and drive that car , unfortunately trump put my social security on hold with no time table to get it back now thx to lockdowns..lol I'm F'd
flippin' Hondas is the best
The way JR snaps his fingers, and points at the camera, is just so frickin cool, he IS the man!
I owned the next gen Honda Accord (2006) for ten years (same engine) and 140,000 before I lost the dashboard, transmission, and overhead display all at once. My choice was to rebuild everything or dump the car - I chose to dump it. Great car for those 10 years however. Many Hondas back then had premium makes like Pioneer (as mine had). Not surprising it was a good radio.
That's what you call variable power steering...
Sometimes you've got all the power, sometimes none at all...
I'd say that high pressure line blew and pumped all the fluid out of the system which cooked the, now un-lubricated, pump. That journey probably ended smelling interesting...
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!
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 😎.
Honestly, that gen of V6 Accord was not one of Hondas better products. Transmission failure is a given, especially the early V6s due to poor lubrication of the bearings. Oil pumps on the engine leak and need to be resealed about as often as the timing belt interval. Those power steering hoses leak constantly. The engine, in real world driving, doesn't offer much more power than the much reliable and fuel efficient I4 (yes, it is more powerful, but the torque of the I4 makes it almost just as usable in the real world).
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!
