Ok thanks everybody - changed the blower motor - so now i have reliable cool a/c , and got the cruise control working. the CC turned out to be pretty simple - a sensor to check if the clutch petal was fully up was adjusted so that it couldn't make contact. I have no idea why anyone did that - but i'm glad it was the problem - cost me nothing but a little sweat equity.
Next things - Timing belt, and need a replacement roof antenna.
Honda wants $750 to replace it or $250 for belt set and waterpump. $500 labor sounds too steep to me. can get Gates belt set for $95 from Napa and water pump for 65. Is there anything that CANNOT be reached with hand tools ( I don't have air/impact tools but everything looks straightforward) Looks like a job i could do in a day - Thanks Tegger for the tip on your Faq page about marking old belt/pully & transfering to new belt.
Is Honda antifreeze necessary? Car has green eth/glycol AF in it that looks & smells clean - I don't know whether it's Honda or not. - will std E/G (prestone) AF mix with honda- and what's the difference.
