#9 of 1552 95 Accord Losing Gas Mileage by earnesty Dec 19, 2005 (6:30 pm)
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?

Replying to: earnesty (Dec 19, 2005 6:30 pm) 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.   Mrbill Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2005 10:43 pm)

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Dec 19, 2005 6:38 pm) I know my 96 uses one, but it is the 2.2liter 4 cyl. I would agree with MrBill

Replying to: earnesty (Dec 19, 2005 6:30 pm) 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.

Replying to: earnesty (Dec 19, 2005 6:30 pm) 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!!!

Replying to: mamamia2 (Dec 18, 2005 8:52 pm) Thanks, mamamia, but what exactly does the service bulletin 98-081 cover? BTW, tune up is not likely the problem. The problem existed before the present ignition parts. Got a tune up hoping the problem would go away but it didn't. The full tune up (incl. all ignition wires, plugs, rotor, rotor cover, coil) also fuel filter, an expensive relay part --can't remember the name-- was about 11,000 miles ago.
