Accord stalling out...

[refrieddreams]

Hey guys...long time lurker first time poster...thanks for a great forum!

 

 

 

Heres my deal. I had a 87 (I think) Accord that had 200,000 miles on it. It was stalling out every once in a while but could easily be resatarted. Then it started doing it every few miles or so, then one time it just didn't restart. I got it fixed by a buddy who is no longer here but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

 

So NOW 2 years later I find myself with an 88 Honda accord that is doing the same thing. It has 206,000 miles on it and runs like a champ otherwise. It's a stick so when it stalls I can usually drop it down a gear and bump start it, but it is now starting to do ot every few minutes.

 

Since it is almost identical to my problem a few years ago I am assuming it is the same problem.

 

Is there something that happens when honda hit 200,000? Do you have any idea on how to fix it? I am afraid to take it to a shop, but that is whatg I amy have to do.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!!!!

Unfortunetly it could be a whole host of things. Things from fuel pump, distributor, coil, sensors, and so on. If I were you I'd just take it somewhere, as long as you think it will act up for them. I'm having a stalling problem with my car too, but it has only done it twice in the past few months. I can't get it to act up when I can check things so it's near impossible to diagnos. Let me know what you find out if ever do!

also try taking off your battery terminals, clean them off with coke and a toothbrush. place it back on TIGHTLY. that could also be the culprit.

Have you checked your alternator? Sounds like its gone bad.
