About a month ago while i was driving my Honda Accord 1999 EX V6, the car shut down?
Radio shut off, lights went dim, then the engine shut off right as i got in my driveway. I tried starting it again but i kept getting a ticking sound. I was told it was the battery so i went and got a new one. Got the battery and my car is running fine for about a week. This time when it died it was making a different sound. Instead of it making a ticking sound, it sounded like the engine was trying to turn on like "r-r-r-r-r" but it wouldn't turn over. During both of these incidents all of my dashboard lights would turn right before it dies. The battery light, fluid, doors would show that they are open, brake light, and check engine light all would be on before the car shut off. Now i was told it was the alternator. I went and got a new alternator put in and it was working fine for a few days then the 2nd issue started to reoccur. Sometimes the car would start but if i started driving it before it was all the way heated up, it would shut off. I ended up getting a tune up hoping this would do the trick. Got new distribution wires, distributer cap, roter in distributer, and 6 new spark plugs. Car was working when i got it back from my mechanic. The next day, the same problems occurred. I took it to AutoZone where they told me that it could be the MAP sensor that it causing it to fault. I went and fixed that, and the car was working until the next morning when i went to warm it up. Same issue, it shut off at a certain temperature. Now i turn the key and get absolutely nothing.
Added (1). Honda Accord 1999 EX V6 does absolutely nothing when I try to start the car, what could it be?
Go to the honda owners website and enter your VIN to see if yours is covered under the IGN switch recall. Honda had a series of bad IGN switches that would do that exact symptom.
Thank you for your help. I just entered my VIN and it showed up. Hopefully honda can help me out.
- I bought a car from honda about month ago? I took it home with these white stains on the door upholstery. I'd clean it myself, but i don't want to mess up the interior. Do you think honda will clean it for free? Or will there be a service charge?
- Why does my car engine rev up and down? It revs up and down all the way up to 3x rpm and down? Also when i step on the gas pedal it revs up all the way to the top 8x rpm and stays right there even when i let go of the gas pedal. Please anyone who can tell me why this happens? This is a 1995 honda civic by the way
- Bought a 2006 Honda Civic ex about a month ago, the check engine light came on and it was throwing code p0133 o2 sensor slow response? Bank 1 sensor 1. Now I checked again and it's a P0171 code as we'll System Too Lean Bank 1 . My friend looked at it and said it's my oxygen sensor. Could that be the reason, and is that way it threw the other code as well? The car runs pretty good, does guzzle has a little.
- What's happens to a car if you shut off the engine while you're stepping on the gas pedal? I have this 2002 Honda Accord I was playing around with that got sold for scrap. I was wondering what would happen if I held the gas pedal at about 4,000 RPMs and then proceed to shutoff the car while holding it at 4,000 rpms. I tried this, nothing bad seemed to have happened. The engine rpms quickly climbed down and the engine shut off like it should. I started the car again and everything seemed normal. Does this actually harm anything if you do this?
