Civic 1999 1.4Is accelerating problems
14 years and 170.000 KM with no problems. Since 4 yrs the engine yellow light switches on in winter and switches back off in summer (temperature related).
Last week the car stopped as if petrol was missing. The car has been driving no since the engine light with hiccups when accelerating past 3000 RPM. In neutral or in motorway but only in the morning. Never after it has been driven nor never after it has been parked in the office 8 hrs so harsh temperature related? I took it to Honda. They said the test reveals an issue with the ECU. The car seems to drive fine a part for the accelerating issue and the fact that it stopped suddenly last week which could be well not related with the engine light being on since the car drove no problem from Finland to Italy having only this hiccupping issue with cold engine.
Honda gave me the car back, they said they don't know what to do as the car doesn't otherwise have other issues. Spark plugs are new so what can I do to drive and feel safe? Now I don't trust the car anymore... THANKS
