Sounds like the engine of an old VW - kap - 11-04-2009
That is what my 87 Honda Accord hatchback sounds like when accelerated. Will be bringing it to our fav mechanic this Sat. Until then, I am letting the car 'experts' here take an educated guess. So what do y'all say?
Umm, no, I don't know on which OS it runs

Blown manifold gasket.

pardon for my ignorance on complex car repairs, but what causes that issue, and wouldn't that make my car not drivable? We drove the car from San Bernandino Valley to San Diego over the weekend.

Not enough experience with a Honda using a carb. Are you saying it runs rough or you have exhaust pulse?
Re: Sounds like the engine of an old VW - kap - 11-04-2009
No odd sounds coming from the engine. No exhaust pulse either.

I'd say that anything that old that is not a classic car (and Honda is NOT) should be replaced with something newer.

I am hanging to it in hope of breaking the world's record of a Honda with the most mileage

Your mileage may vary, but this one has 939,899...

That is about 40 times around the equator!
