hey i have a problem my engine light on my 1998 honda accord 2 door coupe v6 .has been on for like 3 weeks...idk wut the issue is....it drove good no problems but recently wen i go past like 40mph my RPM go to like 5 or 6000 and mah mph readin is still at 40 and it slowly rises .....and today wen i was drivin i hit 80 and it didnt i pressed the gas and it stood at 80mph but the rpm was goin to like 7000...

can any one please can give me some useful infomation bout this that they know of im kind of new to cars but let me kno if any one can reply to the post.... thanks

 

hey one more question ppl wen i start my car usually ppl wait like 5 to 10 mins to heat up there engine but sometimes im in a rush to get to work so i hop in my car and i start it up and i put it into drive as soon as i do that it gives me like a major kick lol....like no joke mah neck snaps but then as i press the gas its fine .....idk im still financing this car i got another 3 gs to pay off i got full coverage but i dont want to go bak to the dealer bec i still own him like 800$ and im not tryna pay bec in a way i think i paid alot for this car 8000$ for a 1998 accord runs good but i think he charged me alot like in a way ripped me off.. my friend at work said it was my MOTOR MOUNT could it be? thanks for ur time an patience get bak at me wit some replies

 

so the extended warranty on the honda accord doesnt include the 1998 or 1999 bec i have a 1998 and i bought it wit 97k and now im at 107k so i cant go to the dealership and tell him that my accord acts up due to the cold weather and at times it struggles to push wen i accelerate the gas ?

inputs please

 

You should really pay that dealer. Also proper spelling and grammar is a wonderful thing. Try using it sometime.

I would also have to guess that the jolt you are feeling is most likely a motor mount from what you said.

 

98,99,02 accords are considered on a case by case basis. highly unlikrly that they will cover the whole repair......take to dealer and diagnose. then call hoa and see what they can do.

have service records for the car handy.......

 

if the jolt only happens then the car is cold, it isn't a mount. you really should wait 30 sec to a min before you drive away just to give fluids a chance to start circulating. it takes the pumps in the engine and trans a moment to prime ans start circulating the fluids

 

so wut about the check engine light anyone know or think whats going on in that situation?

 

go to advanced auto and have the code pulled.

its gunna be transmission related im sure.

 

EGR

 

so since my rpms are acting up.... and are going up and down for no reason that this can be a transmission problem .....what should i do...will it cost alot to fix it because i still am fianancing this vehcile ...........

 

get it diaged at a HONDA dealer and go from there

 

hey people i went to a shop near my house caled auto-lab im cool with the guy that works there he works with all foreign cars but he really works on alot of hondas and toyota cars he check why my cars RPMs were going up to like 5- or 6 wen i was hitting like 40 to 50 mph ... he hooked up my car to the computer and it said it was transmission was starting to slip the GEAR RATIOS was messed up... I am going to a place in Wakefield ,MA they repair transmissions he said that they would rebuild my transmisson alot cheaper than the honda dealer ......do you guys think its worth rebuilding the transmission or could it be a simple replacement part in the transmission?

 

get at me with inputs thanks

 

you get what you pay for. that pretty much sums it up.


however, a good technician will install a reman transmission and thoroughly clean the trans cooler and install an external inline filter. honda remans will last, just keep up with the fluid (renew it every 20,000-30,000 miles)

 

get the updated unit from honda......most trans shops can't rebuild them worth a crap. (ask me HOW I KNOW)

 

really jus started gettin into cars whats a remans transmission and how much do you think it will cost? thanks

 

how much for a remans transmission?
