Default Bought 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 VTEC

On 11/20/2012, I finally bought my cousin's 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 VTEC, here in Mexico City, Mexico. It only has 35,000 miles on it, and is absolutely a great car.

However, I'm still wondering if it has "Drive by Wire" because the accelerator sometimes feels strange. No one here can tell me and there is no mention of it in the car's manual.

Do any of you guys know?

Thanks..... Eddie

I took the car to my trusted shop, and asked them if it had "Drive by Wire". They said yes, because it has no cable.

Thanks..... Moneo

Kyden, that's what I expected too.
Being an oldtimer, I really don't like the feel of the accelerator.

Thanks for the info. Regards..... Moneo
