Hello I have a 1999 4cyl 4dr Honda accord with 100K+ miles on it. Today it was hard to start (started on the third try) and then idled without a problem. after it warmed up put it in reverse and it traveled back without touching the gas without a problem until I pressed the gas pedal - then it shuddered and stalled. the car still idles fine, and i can press the gas pedal gently to get it up above 3000rpm without a problem. but if i press the gas "normally" it will sputter out and stall in any gear (park, reverse, neutral, drive). I've had minor stalling problems in the past the came and went (maybe once a year or once in 2 years) but they would never repeat. this problem now won't go away. weather was rainy and in the 60's today if that matters, anyone have ideas where I should start troubleshooting? thanks for your help

hi, my problem is about the jerking and hesitation of the engine, even though you floor the accelerator the engine hesitates and the idle is too low up to the point of stalling, the engine check is light on, what is the problem. pls. help

Ok, I don't know what the hell is wrong with my car...I've changed plugs, battery, cables, alternator, emission parts, etc but the other day I was sitting in traffic on the way to work when my car just shut off...couldn't start it for 10 minutes...the car just didn't have enough juice to kick over. It's happened a few times in the past 6 months, I know it's telling me something but my mechanic can't tell since it happens so infrequently. Sound like a starter/solenoid issue? It's a 1999 accord V6 with 165,000. I've done lots of work to it, so it runs very, very well. When my car shuts off, the there are no signs...just happens. I can only think of the starter/solenoid being the problem...anything else to look for? Thanks much. Trying to avoid buying another car.

I recently took my 2002 Accord in to the dealer for some warranty work. They came back and told that they did a free maintenance checkup for me and found that my timing belt was worn and showed cracks. The recommended that I replace it for $800. I thought it was odd, being that the car only has 56,000 miles on it and Honda recommends that it be changed at 105000. So I called my local mechanic to ask him about it. He said that he doubs that the dealer checked it, because it requires a lot of labor to get to the belt. I asked if i could bring it to him to check, and he said if he goes to that much trouble, he would replace it anyway. How easy would it be for the dealer to "check" my timing belt?

Replying to: mwoods1 (May 10, 2009 6:26 am) If your mechanic checks it and finds it okay, I would never go back to the dealer again for out of pocket repairs. In fact, I might report them to your local DAs office. This could be regarded as out and out fraud, if in fact the belt is fine. I have to say though I am equally troubled by your mechanic's response. |
