I'm almost at 143,000 miles on my 2000 Insight. I live in Tampabay so driving is very aggressive here. I am finding the electric motor isn't giving alot of extra power anymore and will discharge if idling with Auto air for 5 minutes (once driving again).
I am still getting about 58mpg average and I have never had the valves adjusted.
Is it worth the money to have the valves adjusted? The only knocking I ever hear is from the Rostra Cruise and there is no burning or leaking. Also, does anyone know how hard it is to replace the IMA battery? My dealer said it would cost about $300 labor as you have to "dig" for it. I know I can get a 2001 battery for about $450. They made changes after 2001. Anything else that would make a difference short of wierd mods? I don't get the lean burn "jolt" anymore either. Prob worn batteries.
Thanks all!
