05 Accord losing speed
Hi guys, I have a weird problem. My car is losing losing speed when I let go of accelerator pedal. For example I'm driving 60 mph on a highway, i let go off pedal and in a second its around 58 and it keeps on going down. Maybe one of the calipers is stuck?...Please help, I don't want to throw money away for diagnostics, and I know there are some pro mechanics here. Thanks in advance.

Re: 05 Accord losing speed
Well, letting off the gas IS going to lose speed.
But if you think its the brakes sticking, drive it for a bit, and find a place you can coast down to a near complete stop before applying the brake pedal, and stop, get out, and carefully check for heat on the wheels/calipers. If one of the calipers is sticking, they will be HOT, and you can more closely identify if you have an issue there.
