Starts and idles fine but dies with throttle

I just finished doing a bunch of work including rebuilding the distributor and carburetor. I tried turning the mixture screw on the carburetor but nothing changes. Im thinking my ignition timing is off because i forgot to mark the orientation of the distributor. Compression is 155 psi

Honda Acty van wont stay on after timing belt change.

hello all, i got a honda acty 3 months ago and it worked fantastic i've been using it as my daily. after all the research online on maintenance i decided to do the timing belt replacement. i did the method i found on youtube of marking and counting the teeth to make sure it stays in time and after 2 days i finally put everything back together and now the car wont stay on. i have to crank the key for a few seconds to start the car and then it runs but struggles. when i hit the gas pedal it dies. am i screwed? did i mess up the timing? any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Starting issues after head gasket

The only way it will run at all is if i hold the throttle open. I did the head gasket and pretty much everything else in top of the motor. Compression test was 155 psi

Restore your plastics with a heat gun

I made my mirrors and battery cover look new for free. All you need is heat.

LCA Front Bushings

Hey All,

We are doing a refresh on a 1996 Acty that we just imported before we get it saftied and insured, and were wondering if anyone has ever been able to find Front LCA bushings, instead of the whole LCA?

A set of LCAs is about 200 bucks, but anyone know of standalone bushings or even dimensions for the bushings?

TIA!

New Acty New Problems

I purchased this 1994 Honda Acty SDX at the very end of February 2026 from my buddies uncle. I had never seen a kei car before moving to Hawaii in 2018, and I never thought it would make sense for me to own one, but the way this one fell into my lap I couldn't say no.

Here's a photo dump from the last two months including an alternator belt replacement, extensive coolant flushes (want to talk about bleeding coolant/clogs/etc lmk), and timing belt/water pump/etc job.

In the cab I've installed seat covers from minitruckseatcovers.com, put a whole killmat soundproofing under the floormats and behind the seats, I installed a flashing 3rd brake light/led bed light, I added a subwoofer to go with the Kenwood stereo/door speakers, and installed some 12v-5v usb c adapters for my wireless phone charger mount and dash cam.

It was completely missing a cv boot, so I'll probably do the rear axles eventually even though I slapped a temporary fix on it for now. I also need to look at tie rods/control arms because the front end feels a little wonky when hitting bumps.

I'll try to post more. It's a cherry little truck with a lot of cool touches I'm leaving out. Feel free to ask questions.

HA3 leak!!! PLEASE HELP

Hey guys so I have recently bought a 1997 Honda acty (HA3) and I’ve started to smell gas only to find out that this part was leaking. I’ve been trying to look all over the internet but don’t seem to find the answer. What is this that’s leaking? And how can I fix it without having gas leak everywhere? I’ve tried putting on new clamps but it still leaks, so I’m guessing there must be a crack in the tube but I just want to make sure what this part is and how it effects the truck. Still learning.

96 Acty bulb replacement

I'm looking for a US bulb replacement for the lower front turn signal bulb. I tried 1156A and 1157A and neither fit the socket.
