#842 of 1936 Honda accord idles really low and runs rough by niels May 26, 2007 (8:27 pm)
My 1998 Honda Accord EX V6 idles very low when it warms up, almost as if it will stall at any moment (it never does though). Also in neutral, the it will only go up to 4500 rpm and then run very rough. Check engine is also on. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Replying to: niels (May 26, 2007 8:27 pm) Go to Autozone (or Advance) and get them to retrieve the trouble code(s) for you (they do that for free). The code will give you a better idea where the problem is.

Replying to: niels (May 26, 2007 8:27 pm) I would not take my car above 4,000 RPM before it got fully warmed up, for fear of damaging it. The roughness may be related to the fact that the engine is cold (if in fact it's cold when you are revving in neutral).   Why are you revving in neutral again?

#845 of 1936 Indicator lamps constanly on, engine growling?! by hondadriver21 May 31, 2007 (3:20 pm)
Hi,   I have a 1999 Honda Accord EX V6 which I purchased 2 years ago (I am the second owner and I keep up regular maintenance). Presently, I have almost 95,000 miles on it.   Today, almost all of the dash indicator lamps came on: malfunction indicator lamp (my mechanic told me that is due to the ERG recall, I've had problems with this for a while), the brake lamp, battery light, and door ajar light suddenly came on simultaneously and will not shut off. The car's engine also began making a loud grumbling/humming noise.   Does anyone have any clue what is causing this? I have never heard of anything like this. THANK YOU for any help!

Replying to: 330blast (Apr 26, 2007 3:01 pm) I know this is probably too late, but there is a TSB on this issue: 01-031.   The ECM/PCM can set a false P1149 code, which is the O2 sensor.   I found this out after I bought and installed a new O2 sensor. The front one is quite easy to change, you might want to consider saving money by doing it yourself, if you end up doing it.

Replying to: hondadriver21 (May 31, 2007 3:20 pm) Often a sign of a faulty alternator. Have it checked.

Replying to: thegraduate (May 27, 2007 2:56 pm) The car was hot when I went up to 4000 RPM, I did it to see how it would respond. I also found out that it only has this (RPM) problem when the car is not in gear, in drive it goes up to normal rpm. Could have something to do with a fuel filter? I am going to Autozone to get them to pull the code.   Thanks Replies to this message: thegraduate (May 31, 2007 7:42 pm)

Replying to: niels (May 31, 2007 7:32 pm) Hmm. Not having revved in neutral before (not particularly good for the car to do so), I can't say I know why it would do that. I don't know for sure, but it would seem to me a fuel filter wouldn't change in function in neutral versus drive.   Going to autozone is likely your first and best choice.
#850 of 1936 Clunking on 02 by theriver Jun 05, 2007 (5:52 pm)
Has anybody had to replace any front end stuff on 02 accord. I have a thumping/clunking over bumps. Dealer has said it is lots of things Links, bushings, Upper ball joints, and Upper control arms. Car only has 60K. Any known issues on any of these areas. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jun 05, 2007 6:33 pm) user777 (Jun 06, 2007 8:13 am) theriver (Jun 06, 2007 4:52 pm)

Replying to: theriver (Jun 05, 2007 5:52 pm) Could be any one, or maybe even two of those things. I would guess either bushings or ball joints. But, unless you've been driving in death valley, I doubt they could all be bad. Maybe you need a second opinion.
