’ Honda, which likes to think of itself as an “engine company’, is
giving Accord buyers plenty of reason to think the same thing this
year, The 205-horsepower, 3.0 litre VE is new to the Accord,
following its world debut last year in the Acura CL. The four - bored
and stroked out 98cc to 2.3 litres - has had 70 percent ot t's parts

Honda, ever mindful that its customers sia) premium tuel, resisted
the temptation cr 15 more horsepower when it kept this a reguiar-fuel
engine (the 194hp Camry wants premium). This is an extremely
compact and light 3.0 litre. in part because of single, instead of dual,
overhead cams, it's especially nairow, too, which allows body
Gesigners more crush space in front without making the car longer.

Honda's VTEC (variable valve timing) gives a broad operating ranye,
with pleasing torque down fow and an endearing surge above 5000

correct the mixture on a cylinder by cylinder basis. The usual

feedback system is an iteralive process, simply telling the injector

“too rich” or “toc fean”. On the ULEV, the computer calculates the

ideal mixture and tries to hit it exactly on the next power stroke. The
ULEV is rated at 148hp, down 2hp from the 49-states’ LEY version.
