2007 Accord 2.4L acts like plugged fuel filter
My wife has an '07 Accord, 2.4 with 112K on the clock. Bought new and has been a great car until recently. A month or so ago it started occasionally acting like a plugged fuel filter.
It would start and run fine, then a moment later when accelerating it would bog down or simply act like it wasn't getting fuel. And moments later it would run fine. And it might be fine the rest of the day. And then it wouldn't.
It's showing no codes currently. A bit of history.....several months ago I replaced both up and downstream O2 sensors due to a check engine light and then reading the codes. (local auto parts shop initially read codes. I now own an inexpensive code reader) Just recently replaced the air tube that connects air filter to intake. It had cracked from age. New plugs maybe 5K ago.
My wife has a bit of history of running fuel tank till low fuel light comes on. So my thought was possibly the fuel pump was failing. I replaced the entire pump assembly with new. Test drove for near 100 miles without a single hitch. Now back to often running poorly. I've tried fuel injection cleaner, Heet (thinking maybe water in fuel), changing gas stations etc. And all the while showing no codes. It's driving me nuts. Have not yet gone to the Honda service shop....that's my next stop if I can't figure this out. I'd sure appreciate some direction here.
