Is this a transmission issue or something else?
I have a 99 Honda Accord and it had a tuneup. However, after I got it back it had a new problem: Whenever I start my car firsts thing in the morning, it goes into gear (reverse or drive) but when I give it gas it still doesn't want to go. It coasts out of the parking spot. It seems like it has to warm up and then it drives just fine throughout the day. Some have told me it's the transmission, but it's not slipping gears. It just can't seem to get gas/umph to go.
I've been told to check my fuel filter. Would that help? I also had my transmission fluid changed and that didn't solve the issue.
Sometimes what also happens is I'll go to give it gas upon just starting it and the engine seems to die--but all the lights come on. It's like the engine is choked. Upon restarting it does fine (still coasting at first, though). But it is in gear. At least I think it is?
Replace the fuel filter and get the fuel pressure tested. Fuel pump could be on its last legs. Have the vacuum tested with a mevchanical gauge. The cat converter might be clogged up and need replacement.
"I have a 99 Honda Accord and it had a tuneup. However, after I got it back it had a new problem"
Seems pretty obvious that something happened to the car when the tune up was done. Why not take it back and complain? It sounds like something simple, possibly forgot to fasten the air intake hose after the service.
The transmission oil pump may be failing. A torque converter can also leak down over night if going bad. Let the car warm up for 5 minutes an see if it still happens.
- Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car? Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle
- 2008 Honda Civic possible transmission issue? All of a sudden today my car wouldn't start at first, then on a 2nd attempt it started (with difficulty). It also has the check engine light on and the D (drive indicator on dash) has a flashing light next to it. I keep reading this is due to a transmission problem. Possible low fluid? But does transmission have anything to do with the trouble starting? The car was fine a few days ago when I drove it last.
- Can you put a 7 speed manual transmission in a car that comes stock with a 4 or 5 speed manual transmission? I'm just curious to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it. I wany to know what is possible to get the most out of a car. I'm probably going to be getting an acura(no hondas) and doing the necessary upgrades, turbo and all that. If anyone has any experience let me know
