Hello

I have a 96 Accord with A/T and it was running smoothly. A couple of days back, I was driving around 40 mph and it suddenly stalled with the check engine light came up. After that day, when ever I go slow the car just stalls with little jerky motion. It idles fine while parked but dies out if I slows down while taking turns or have to stop at the stop lights. I got the car diagnosed from a couple of mechanics, one guy tried setting the idle speed but that didn't helped. He told me it might be a vacuum leak, but he was not sure either. The other guy checked the computer diagnostic and said it is some transmission problem. The code he told me was 715.

As the problem only started after the check engine light came out, I am not sure if it is actually a vacuum leak problem or something to do with the transmission. I will really appreciate if I can get a word of advise before I get that thing fixed.

Thanks in advance

sounds like a transmission problem to me, same thing happened to my brother's Buick Regal right before his tranny just stopped working all together.

 

Just adding another piece of information. I had low fuel but the warning light only came up when the car first stalled and failed repeatedly to turn the car back on. I could not figure out what happened and got that towed to the mechanic. He checked a few things and told me that I am out of gas. I was embarrassed and confused because I was kind of sure it cannot be out of gas (I generally put in gas few miles after the low fuel warning light come up). But I pumped in a few gallons and the car started. On my way back, the low speed stalling problem started. I don't know if this piece of information helps in zeroing on the actual problem. But if it does and you know what might be the reason, I will really appreciate your reply.

Thanks

before we start speculating get the CEL and post them here

i would guess that your fuel pump is about to die...contantly running the car down to E isn't good for the fuel pump as it uses the gas to keep cool and it can only do that if gas is covering the fuel pump.

if it is your pump you gotta drop the tank to get it and that suxxors major donkey *****

 

The CEL says P0750 - Problem in Hydraulic Control System in Solenoid A

 

you can check the solenoid by getting someone to switch gears while running and touch the solenoids to see if they click they are on the side of the transmission or you can take em off and hot wire them to battery and you will hear em click
