re. 95 V-6 Accord, Starting problems by smarin

My 95 V-6 Accord has a starting problem occasionally. It cranks but sometimes does not fire up. Sometimes it stalls out after it's been driven for sometime. Also, after it has warmed up, it feels like it misfires but there's no pattern at all to the seeming misfires. I thought the difficulty firing up might be due to cold mornings but a couple of cans of dri-gas has not prevented the starting problem, and neither has a mild day.
Most times it starts but some mornings it leaves us without the use of a car. And sometimes trying it again a few hours later will start it up. Has anyone had this problem and what did you do to solve it?
Thanks,
Smarin

Your car may need a tune up...
 
But then it might have some typical problems of many '95 V6 models that are covered under Honda's Service Bulletin 98-081. Check with your Honda Service.
 
I am not sure, but I think they will take care of it under an extended warranty that was granted to owners of this (and several other '95-'96-'97) model -- BUT ONLY IF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES UP.

95 Accord Losing Gas Mileage by earnesty

My 95 Accord EX has gone from getting about 31 mpg hwy to about 26. I believe the problem is that the RPM's used to be at about 2500 at about 64 mph and I could noticably feel the RPM's kick downward. Now, the RPM's are at about 2750 at 64 mph. I was wondering if anyone had an idea about why the RPM's don't kick down like they used to?

My guess is your lock-up torque converter isn't locking up.
 
I'm assuming your 95 uses a lock-up converter, although not familiar with that year.

I know my 96 uses one, but it is the 2.2liter 4 cyl. I would agree with MrBill

That 250 engine RPM increase at your referenced vehicle speed is smack-dab in line with torque converter lockup not occuring as expected. It's possible a sensor failed and the transmission control module simply isn't getting an expected signal that would prompt it to engage TC lockup. On the other hand, given the car's age, it's possible the tranny, itself, is getting ready to
tank. ($-$-$-$-$!) You won't know where you really stand until you have tranny fault codes read and interpreted by a dealer or an independent transmission shop specialist.

May I ask how many miles are on the car? Mine are at 155,000, and no tranny troubles yet, although it has had mostly highway miles (29mpg avg over its life). I've kept records!!! Thanks earnesty
