Help HONDA ACCORD V6 2007 LIMP MODE?
SO. I drive a 2007 Honda Accord v6, and I've had it for about a year now. Up until recently, I've never had any major problems with the car. About two weeks ago, I had to replace the drive axel because it snapped. I know that the axel connects into the transmission, and was wondering if that had anything to do with the issue I'm about to explain.
It could've also been caused by the fact that I work on an Island, and it flooded yesterday during all the down pour we had. I left work, and had to drive through a huge puddle. It honestly couldn't have been avoided. I didn't fly through the puddle, and i never let my car come to a complete stop while driving through it. I made it a few blocks down, and I noticed that my car wasn't accelerating, but the rpms were still sky rocketing. I turned the car off, and turned it back on, and it still was able to drive. So of course, me being a car-illiterate girl, I figured that was the fix of it. No. It did it again. I was told to let my engine dry because it must've gotten really wet. Ok, fine. I sat for a few minutes with the car off, AND i even sat with it on figuring that if the car was warmed up everything would dry. I kept getting the same result. Making it a few blocks, not even, and then it wouldn't accel anymore.
I left the car over night, and this morning I stopped by it again. It started right up, and it still went into drive and I was able to make it 3 more blocks before my car I guess stalled out again.
It is very likely that water is inside an electrical connection. Water would need to be found, dried out and connection sealed so it doesn't happen again.
Start with reading the codes.
Floods can easily destroy a car
Until you get a clue from the codes it can be anything.
Drive axles only snap for one of two reasons. Driver abuse or bad maintenance.
Proper maintenance will find failing parts before they break.
Sounds like the automatic transmission is bad.
- Prius: Can someone explain the power usage meter & specific difference between power mode and Eco mode? My brother just got me a Prius to replace my old beater Honda and I'm having difficulty understanding the power usage meter (meter on dash with "Charge-Eco-Power") and the difference in the Eco & Power modes. I do understand the charge bit on the meter.
- My 2013 Honda Pilots VTM-4(4WD mode) and Check engine light are on? A few miles latter I restarted the engine again, a few times and only the Check engine light was on. After driving a mile or so I turned off the car and started a couple of minutes later but this time no lights were on. A few miles before those two light went on, it felt like the car kind of jolted a little but I'm not too sure if it was an engine misfire or a pothole.
- Would a 4 Cylinder Car in Sport Mode be able to accelerate faster than a V6 car in ECO mode? Take the Honda CRV Turbo at 190 horse power 4 cylinder in Sport Mode vs the Oddysey with 285 Horsepower on ECO with a V6.
- Does Sport Mode turn your car into a V8? We have a 2018 CRV Touring Turbo and the guy at Honda said when you press Sport Mode your car will become a V8 -like car. Is that true?
