Engine doesn't go over 3k RPM by ds337

Hello everyone, been reading the message back to last October and haven't found anything that matches the problem that I'm having. I have a 1995 Accord LX, I4, non-VTEC, automatic trans, with 200k miles.
 
On a cold engine, I can hit 4k+ RPM without problems. About 15 mins after I start the engine, the check engine light turns on and the car won't go over 3k RPM. I can drive fast, slow, or drive to the gas station and turn off the engine and it's almost always 15 mins after I first start the cold engine. When I hold the gas down steady, it will oscillate between 2.75 and 3.25k RPM and if I give it more gas, it will back fire periodically while oscillating.
 
Been meaning to go over to a friends to get the code but haven't been able to sync up with him. Anyone have any ideas what is going on? Am I completely hosed?
 
Thanks in advance for any help...

AutoZone will read your Check Engine Light for free.

When you say it won't go over 3K rpm, are you saying it won't do that while in neutral without a load on the engine, or are you saying while driving down the highway, you can't get the engine under load to ever go over 3K?

Thanks for the Autozone tip..
 
Both. After the check engine light goes on, I can't go over 3k RPM in neutral or on the road. It may be a little higher in neutral but not much more.

'95 Accord Antenna Mast by pj_columbia

Hi,
It's been awhile since I posted, but having a problem with the power antenna on the car. It''s making "the noise" and won't let the antenna retract or extend completely. I have taken the whole thing out and have done some research to see if I need to replace just the mast or if I need to replace the entire power assembly. I've gone to this site (http://home.earthlink.net/~michaelpkeefe/HowTo_Antenna_Mast.htm), but it's for a '94 Accord. I just can't seem to pull my mast out of the housing. It sounds like there is something that prohibits it from coming out all the way. So, do I have to replace the whole thing or is there some trick at getting the mast out? Thanks for your help!

96 EX V6 intermittent AC cooling. by kerhonda

96 EX V6 has intermittent cooling. Sometimes very cool & sometimes blowing hot - even on the same short trip. Seems like it is probably blowing hot more frequently than in the past. Anybody with a similar experience &/or any tips on what to check for? I'll take on something if it isn't major. Thanks.

I had the same problem. Some times the A/C would blow cold, and sometimes not. There were also a couple of other quirks that would show up when this happened. The dash P (park) indicator would not light up at startup, and the indicator lights for A/C would not light up. Hard to believe but a weak battery was the cause. It was strong enough to start the engine, but while doing so, it would loose communication with other systems. I went to Autozone, and they tested the battery for me, and said it was bad. Changed the battery, and it hasn't happened since (more than a year ago). Good luck, and hope your's is this simple too.
