Kegger Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Sounds like your battery is dying or your altenator went bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 sounds like a sensor of some sort to me. i think the tach reads off the ignitor or one of the sensors in the dizzy for sure. im gonna go with dizzy on this one , or a component there of. which way were you turning?

99HondaAccord Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If you take a turn fast enough, you can starve the fuel pump. Thats why racers use fuel cells with pickups that move with the gas. I dunno why it would do it again later down the road again tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have the fuel pump checked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 some of you guys give answers without reading all the symptoms and deducting better. the man says his tach was going nuts and the engine light came on? now thinking about it again , does that sound to you nk like a fuel pump? lol. fuel pump going bad would not make the tach jump around. starving it of fuel for that second wouldnt hurt the pump either.

IL3GL'88 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 this happened to someone around here a while ago but I dont remember who and I dont remember what it was. what a big help i was sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepope Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 also if it was a fuel starvation issue, fuel tanks have a thing called a swirl pot that holds fuel so that if you do take a corner or something that causes the fuel to move away from the pump there is still fuel in the swirl pot and allows the vehicle to still operate. if it were me id take it in somewhere with a diagnostic device and get them to hook it up and pull some codes out of it thatd be the quickest way to check the issue. it may cost like 20 bucks but its money well spent cause your not dicking around trying to work out something you have no idea is wrong with (poor english??)

If your car shuts off, your tach wont work. Also all of your lights in your dash would turn on. Starving a fuel pump for a second wouldnt hurt anything but if you took a turn long enough and fast enough, it could easily starve the engine. we're just throwing out possible solutions here, there's no need to patronize.
