Car revs, but wheels won't turn sometimes?
So i've got a 2004 Honda Accord LX. It has automatic transmission. It has about 79,000 miles on it, its in good condition.
Recently, sometimes when i'm stopped and I press down on the gas petal (and this usually only happens when i press pretty hard), it rolls forward a little bit, then the engine revs way high, and it slowly starts getting up to speed. (And its not switching to a lower gear in the process. I know that for sure).
So is this a problem i need to worry about? Should i take it in and get it fixed if it keeps happening? Will the repair be expensive? Any information is nice.
Easiest thing is check your spark plugs and wires. Make sure the plugs are gapped correctly according to vehicle spec, and the wires are all good. I had a similar problem with my car (manual transmission) not wanting to go from a dead stop, took off my aftermarket plug wires and put the stock ones back on and been running great ever since.
Is the car CVT? Can you find out the transmission model number?
- Sometimes the car does not stop when I brake but it feels like it's hard to stop, is this a rotor issue I'm afraid I will rear end someone? It happens every once a while I'll press the brakes and it won't stop like a jumpy feeling is this rotorsrelated? 2001 Honda Passport
- Motorcycle starts and revs but won't run? I have a 2004 honda rebel 250, and it has a little trouble starting but i can get it started. When i rev the engine though, it starts to sound a little off and the whole bike vibrates like crazy. If i let off the clutch the bike pulls a bit, but it doesn't move if i give it throttle, like the clutch is burned out (but I think the clutch is fine). Any suggestions as to what's wrong are highly appreciated.
- I have a Honda 1.4 sport 1999 reg and the revs keep going high but there's little power - any ideas? When i first start it its ok but after 15-20 minutes it starts to over rev and the power seems to drop. Any ideas on what could be causing it?
- My 2000 Honda Civic EX shuts off when driving it, sometimes it'll start back up but sometimes it won't I got my tail pipe and muffler replaced. I also got the catalytic converter and MAP sensor replaced in my car as well. My dad believes it could be the fuel filter, but we have no clue what it really is.
