What do you think is wrong with my car?
Ok its been a few months and when i press down on the gas it drives for a few seconds then it slows down and starts revving up real loud. Also when i press down on the gas it takes a few seconds for it to actually speed up.It's like when i press down on the gas its like the engine kicks in. Its like when you press the gas down way to fast instead of slowly speeding up. But i'm not doing that it does it even when i have my feet on it just a little bit.
I took it to a mechanic and he told me i need a electronic load detector. He didn't test drive the car or anything. He just looked under the steering wheel then popped the hood. He said that mine was showing something different from the code he found online. After i got home i started looking for a ELD for "2001 HONDA ACCORD EX 3.0 VTEC Automatic" and the only thing i could find was the ELD for 2001 honda civic and for the newer model accords.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
Added (1). i forgot to say that it has gotten worse. I can't go any faster than 20 miles now and when i do press down on the gas it just revs up
Purchase a new transmission would be my guess.
See another mechanic with a scan tool or labscope.
- Do you think if they call a car a Sport model it should go fast? I remember when I think the Honda Fit/Jazz was called the "Sport model" and it got criticised for having soft suspension. These days "Sport" is used in most cars is used on the one with the most features and not fast cars very much. Should the ones with the most features be calling something else rather than sports?
- Did you know that Philippines is so poor that if you own a car people will think you're rich? I live in the Philippines and I own a 2013 Honda Fit and I sometimes drive it when I go to the University, it's not even expensive. And my friends think I'm rich. Most people here only use underbone motorcycles for transportation, most families don't even own a car.
