whatsgoing on guys. lately my 3.0 will just lose power for a split second whiel driving. Its done it a couple times in the last week. everything will just snap on and off so quick you hardly notice it does it. hope someone can help me find my prob. thanks

 

get a tune-up

 

Do the rpms drop, or raise? Or do they stay at the same constant revolutions?

Give me more details and I'll try and help you out. But help me by telling me everything...miles, what you've done to your car lately (tune up wise, etc...)....

 

go cocoa! pick up ur phone man!

 

yeah the rpms drop and everything. the other day it did it at a stop and the car turned off. started right back up tho. yeah its 140 k on 3.0 and ive had alternator at 100k and water pump timing belt also. put new ngk plugs at 120k and have cai.

 

A couple of possibilities roughly in order of liklihood:

1) Ignition switch problem - If it stops like a heart attack w/o a hint of a stumble, suspect the ignition switch may be opening temporarily and causing loss of spark. New switch is fix.

2) Main Fuel Relay - If it seems to just slow down and stall, the main fuel relay may be failing which stops the fuel pump.

good luck

 

yeah exactly like a heat attack. how much do new swicthes cost and what kind of hastle to install.

 

Keyswitch assy is probably $50-$75, depending on source. It's a fairly easy DIY. Check following link for tips on replacing Accord keyswitch which should be similar.

maybe this is whats wrong with my car too....

 

wait a minute ...ignition swith and relay will couse the engine to stall .......

 

yeah still doing it. gauges flash and abs light pops on when it does it. i guess take it to the shop.

 

Do they replace the whole ignition assembly with the recall?

I had mine done but was wondering.....


The key/security wasn't an issue like I thought with mine.

Have you had the recall done?

 

no, didnt know of any recall. bought the car with 74k so dont know if previous owner did or didnt. shouldi take it by the dealership and if there was a recall they have o fix it no matter how many miles right?

 

get a tune up, make sure your battery terminals are connected properly


or.. it could be the ignition issue everyone else is brining up

 

damn, they denied me the recall saying it wasnt recalled for my vin......
