Does a cars OBD System reset everytime you disconnect the positive battery terminal?

I own a 1996 Honda Accord and just recently got a new catalytic converter and o2 sensor installed because of 1 CEL code. The mechanic reset my OBD System after the installation to remove the CEL light which never came back on (its been a weak). The same day this procedure was done is the same day I wen't to MVC to receive an inspection, I failed only because the OBD System, was not ready (no other reason). They told me to drive the car around for a while. I ask if disconnecting the positive terminal of the battery (not the ground) will reset the System because I disconnect the positive terminal every night. I know this is not good for the car but it is only temporary until I find the reason my AC lights won't shut off.

2004 Honda Accord V6 transmission problems?

I have a 2004 Honda Accord V6. About a month ago while driving down the road it felt at though I had slipped my car out of gear into neutral, my rpms were revving up but I had no power. I took it to the mechanic and he said tranny rebuild. And so we did. I got the car back about 2 weeks ago and on my way home from the shop the shifting of the tranny was not smooth. It jerked me every time I changed gears and when taking off from a stop it sometimes acted as through it was never going to change. I took it back to the shop and he plugged it up to the machine, even though the check engine light was not on and he told me that it threw a bad solenoid code. I left the car with him for it to be replaced. I picked it up a few days later and he told me that it still wasn't shifting as smoothly as he would like, but that he thought that the valves were sticking? And that he had put a pint of something into the transmission and for me to drive it and he thought the performance would improve as it was driven. Now it's been driven over 250 miles and I'm still having problems. A couple of days ago I was at a complete stop pulling out of a parking lot. When i tried to accelerate, I had to get up to 2000 rpms before the car would even begin to roll, then when the jerked hard down into 2nd, the check engine light, the TCS light, a triangle with a! Inside of it came on, and the green dot beside drive was flashing. I turned the car off and all lights went off but check engine.code P0746.

94 Honda accord won't turn off with the key removed?

I'm running out of Ideas on what could be causing the problem I have a 94 Honda accord the won't turn off when I trun the switch to the off position. The only way to turn it off is I remove the batterie cables or shift to first and let the car jump. I've replaced the ignition switch, the key cylinder were the key goes, the batterie, and I know it's not the altornator, the only other option that I can think of is putting a kill switch, which I really don't want to do. Has anyone eles had this problem, and is there a solution?

2004 Honda CRV miss fire?

Its not tripping the engine light and it normally only happens under load (going up a hill) it seems to happen between 2500 and 3200 rpm area but i havent narrowed it down and further it really losses power when it.happens to so idk if its multiple or just one but you can really feel it loose power. But here what gets me the head gasget was replaced 2 years ago or so. So ill assme its not a compression issue and the coils where replaced last year also and one just very recently (this one just quite all together) so egine light was on. But I need to know other possible causes for the coils dieing out so early or if this is even a coil? Ingector? Plug? Coil wires? Throw some possible reasons for this at me. Thanks in advance!

2001 Honda xr100r Tire size?

I brought a 2001 Honda xr100r with a flat and worn front tire. I want to buy a new tube and a new tire, but I'm confused with the size. In the manual it says that the front tire is 2.50-19, but online i see the size 100/70-19 popping up when i search up 2.50-19. Are the sizes compatible? Can i buy a tire 2.50-19 and a tube 100/70-19 and will they fit and vice-versa.

Honda Odyssey Exclamation/VSA warning with transmission issue?

Our 2005 Odyssey has recently been having issues when making a sharp turn (U-turn, 90 degree turns, etc.). The yellow exclamation point and the VSA warning light turn on and the van can't shift gears and as I bring it to a stop it shakes and shudders. When I turn the van off and restart it a few seconds later, the problem is fixed (until the next sharp turn), leading me to believe it may be a computer issue and not a transmission issue. It seems not to happen when taking a slower, wider turn when possible. Anyone had this happen to them? Any suggestions on who best to take it to - dealer, Sears, or independent mechanic? Thanks!

2006 Honda Accord Coupe Door Stuck?

I have a 2006 Honda Accord coupe and I have never had any previous problems regarding the doors. Yesterday, I parked and tried to get out but the door would not open from the inside or the outside. When you try opening from the outside, it feels like there is no resistance so something must have gone wrong internally. From the inside, the door handle juts out slightly and has no resistance either. You can push the door handle in to the proper position but if you try pulling on it again to open the door it returns to the slightly outward position. Can someone give a detailed explanation of what is wrong? In addition, how much would the dealership or an autobody charge for such a repair? Thanks for all the help guys!
