Then you hold the hood with your hands.
Now look at the engine.
Last drop the hood on your d!ck because you dont' deserve one.

lol. But seriously, go outside pop the hood and count how many spark plug wires you have...it'll take you about 30 seconds.
If it has 6 wires its a v6! If it has 4 wires its a 4cyl

Ask your father to pop the hood. It is his car, after all, since you obviously don't know jack-sh!t about automobiles, let alone enough to own one on your own.

yes, just count the spark plug wires. they are obvious and there will either be 4 or 6 of them.

When your car is running, turn off your radio and listen VERY closely. If you hear fump fump fump fump...fump fump fump fump, it's a 4-cylinder. If you here fump fump fump fump fump fump...fump fump fump fump fump fump, it's a 6 cylinder.

Wow it works, I can totally hear the difference between my car and my Dad's!

Seriously open the hood, look and count. Even easier, and this usually applies for most accords, look at the back of the car, the part with the tail pipe and trunk and see if there is a V6 badge. If not, than most likely you have a 4 cylinder.

You owe me 1/2 bottle of water and a new laptop. LOL

Or count the valves and then divide by 2. There's an equation out there somewhere if you google for it. Something like mph/tque*gallons of fuel or what not.

or divide by 4.

Other makes you can divide by 3 or even 5. Not exactly a reliable method.

Honda had a 12-valve 4 cylinder for a while. The A20A3 engine used in the '86 through '89 Accords was an SOHC 12-valve 2.0 litre 4-cylinder. 2 intake and one larger exhaust valve.

hey.. have a used 98 Honda accord and was wondering.. how do i find out whether its a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine?


thanks

For that generation accord, I4s have one muffler, V6s have two. This is true regardless of coupe/sedan.

Drive it off a cliff.

If your able to unbuckle the seat belt and jump out before it goes over, is a 4 cylinder. If you aren't able to unbuckle the seat belt in time, and are force over the cliff with the car, is a 6 cylinder, simple as that.

If this guy is so car-illiterate that he doesn't know the number of cylinders in his Accord, can anyone really think of a way to explain to him how he can find out, in a way he'll actually understand?
