We will add these to TE Chea's list of Honda defects. Some quotes from previous postings:

"Small & built-in induction coil cannot produce enough high voltage @ >3000 rpm ( >100 sparks / second ) when output voltage of any coil is just 90% of output @ 1000 rpm, older & external ( bigger ) coils' output are more adequate. "

"I disable my 1990 accord's clock ; it drains battery, esp bad when engine is cranked : clock's LEDs reduce the amperes & voltage available to starter motor & spark plugs. This is 1 of this car's ignition system's 6 minor design flaws, I think. "

TE Chea claims that there should be a solar cell to run the clock.

"You explain why a Mercedes C200 has leather seats, but ( wisely ) no clock. Door bulbs should have photo-resistors to dim the bulbs during daylight, to prevent wastage /drainage of battery during daylight at least. C200 has this flaw too (proves I'm not a Mercedes salesman )."

How about this one:

"Remove door & boot bulbs, disconnect clock to maximise battery charge i.e. spark size, & so torque / mpg too. "

I notice he's removed the "h" from his nym, too. Probably to escape killfiles.
