#4444 of 4953 HELP! by kejyone Jan 29, 2009 (9:35 am)
My accelerator has been sticking & they can't recreate it at the dealership! Anyone else have this problem? It happens at about 40-55 mph; I've discovered that I can throw it into neutral while I'm driving & gun the engine a few times & it pops back up. Please help before I reclaim my deathtrap from the repair shop! Replies to this message: packer3 (Jan 29, 2009 5:51 pm)

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jun 18, 2008 6:23 am) I posted what I'm replying to a while ago. I thought I would follow up:   I'm at over 120k on my 2004 Honda Accord EX-L w/ Navi (Auto, Sedan, 4-cyclinder) and wanted to fix the error I made by having my Transmission service done at 90k at Firestone. However, the Honda dealers I'm calling are just saying they do a simple drain and fill. A few dealers have said they do the 3 successive fluid exchanges but that I probably don't need it in my car.    Any thoughts?

Replying to: kejyone (Jan 29, 2009 9:35 am) Well what ever kind of car it is, carry a video camera in the car and have it ready to go. I once kept one of those little memo tape recorders in my 05 Malibu when I heard a banging noise I brought it to the dealer twice or course the noise was phantom. Upon bringing it back a third time, this time of course with the recording. It got fixed, the funny part was that the dealer didn't evev take the car for a ride after I played the tape, they just pulled it into the garage and proceeded with replacing the struts under warranty.

So I went to add wiper fluid the other day and I noticed some black carbon buildup around the seam of the plate that covers the spark plugs (not sure what to call said plate). Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone can tell me possible causes for this. The car only has 50K on it and seems to be running well. The black spot seems to be preferentially located with respect to the right most front cylinder. Is the seal around one of the plugs leaking? Thanks for the help.

Replying to: xmatsox (Jan 30, 2009 6:39 am) What do you mean by "carbon build-up"? Can you provide a picture? You say right most front, do you have a V6? What "plate" are you talking about? Is it a gasket or metal? Have you changed/inspected your plugs yet? If you remove that plug is it covered in oil? Usually if a plug is loose you will have more noticeable problems than a "build-up" (whatever that means). How often do you change your oil? Has it ever been filled too much?   If you send a picture I am sure it will be easier for people to answer your question.

Replying to: tallman1 (Jan 30, 2009 11:09 am) Odd. Well just search 3.0 VTEC on google image. That is what I did. The pic is on the first page of results labeled www.pbase.com
#4453 of 4953 Picture by imidazol97 Jan 30, 2009 (12:17 pm)
Try this for the picture. I had to shrink its width to keep the right-hand frame of the page from getting bumped by the picture being too wide.
