#81 of 1936 Possible Computer Problem, Help! by jackson7 Jan 16, 2006 (4:11 am)
I have a 99 Honda Accord V-6 automatic, with 100,000+ miles. On my way to work today the ABS light came on and after about 6 miles the car shuddered and then the light went off. I thought everything was okay at that point, then about a mile from work everything shut down with no warning all panel lights everything , I started over to the outside lane and after coasting about 300 feet everything restarted on its own. Since my wife normally drives this car I am really worried this could happen again, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance, Bob
#83 of 1936 rear suspension clunk by xrwill Jan 16, 2006 (4:40 pm)
8 months ago the rear suspension on my 99 accord sedan started making a very hollow thumping noise over bumps. Figuring that the problem was obviously bad struts, I replaced them with Monroe sensetracs. Unfortuantly this only dulled the noise. Because there was a 'no questions asked' exchange policy on the struts, I figured I may as well try another new set. I replaced the struts (Monroe sensetracs) and put on new stabilizer links (Honda parts) but the problem is still there and starting to drive me crazy. My local mechanic can see no problems and I am trying to avoid the cost of going to a Honda dealer. Anyone have any ideas?? Its a dull thunking noise that is only noticible when going slow (less that 20 mph). Thanks for any assistence.
#84 of 1936 2001 accord EX: issues, slow to engage by zzz Jan 16, 2006 (10:19 pm)
I recently bought a 2001 accord EX from a private party (54k miles). When I test drove it, it felt ok. Now that I've had a few weeks, I've noticed the following: a) The car seems needs some extra push to get going, especially in low gears. I have to push the gas pedal harder than most cars I've driven. Since this is my first Accord, i don't know if this is normal. Note that this problem is only obvious in lower gears. Once on the highway, it's pretty responsive. I've also noticed that if I stop at a stop sign or red light, the gear seems to downshift quickly back to 'zero gear' -- that is, the car seems to have no power/desire to move forward and i need to push the gas pedal hard to get it going. I know that Honda has a recall on the transmission, but I don't know if my issues fits the description for the recall. b) The car doesn't start right away when I turns the ignition for first time in the morning. I can hear a few more cranks before it starts. I assume that this isn't a big deal. But I've haven't had this problem in other cars I've had. Does this mean that the spark plug has worn out or I have a starter problem? Note that this only happens the first time you start the car in the morning. c) The light for the clock went off, so I can't see the clock at night. How much does it take to fix it?   thanks.

Replying to: djuang (Dec 27, 2005 9:03 pm) I have a 99 Accord se 2 litre with 67K (triptronic) and have twice experienced the same problem in the last two months. I also notice that occassionally when the car has stopped at a light and the engine is in drive the rev counter displays very low rpm almost to the point of cut-out. When I went to the garage the problem was no longer they just cleaned the idle valve and throttle but unfortunately it has not helped the situation. If you have any more info it would be much appreciated too. Thanx.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2006 4:03 pm) I work at a gm dealer and before we can finish the used car inspection we need to perform a VISS check on the car. This means that the vehicle has no open (not performed) recall. If the car has open recalls we are to fix them under the bulletins pay record. A TSB is not a recall. It stands for Technical Service Bulletin, and is thier to aid technicians in finding a common BUT not recalled problem. If the car has a TSB about a transmission problem that is just a common problem not a recall. So i personally feel that if the car was sold to you with recalls that were open from a dealer, bring it back they will fix the recall for free.
#87 of 1936 Accord 98' trouble starting by rdunham1 Jan 19, 2006 (11:15 am)
Auto tries to start but sputters and does not run. Can a bad oxygen sensor prevent the starting. I'm thinking this or a plugged fuel filter. Auto has 6000o miles on it!   All sugestions would be appreciated!!
#88 of 1936 1999 EX - Wheal Bearing Problems by doinwi Jan 21, 2006 (4:32 pm)
I have a 99 Accord EX. I have a howling noise in my right rear wheel bearing. Also, clock light is out. I've seen the earlier posts about replacing the light bulb. I'll give that a try. I've been to AllData and see there are service bulletins related to both items. Has anyone had a similar problem with the wheel bearing? Have the dealers done any goodwill replacements?
