90 Accord cutting out
1990 accord exr 5spd, 240,000km
while accelerating or cruising, the motor will loose all power and shut down for a second or two, then come right back and drive fine. I have already changed the Ignition switch, distributor, main relay, new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I've noticed the idle is high too, around 1000 rpms. What are your thoughts on Igniter, coil, pcv valve or fuel filter? could one of these be causing my problem? Thanks |

I thought the problem was fixed after I changed the ignition switch a while back, but the stalling continued, but much less frequently. How accurate do you think the factory tachometer is? my idle reads just under 1000rpms on the dash, but the motor doesn't sound like its turning that fast. I have a feeling if I hook up a hand held tach, it will be much lower. |
Re: 90 Accord cutting out
The factory tacs are almost always off, at least a little, sometimes a lot.
But sound isn't the way to go...

A short in any major wire could cause such a problem. Please don't ask me for a list of the important major wires because I'm not an expert. However, I did have such a problem with an old car and that turned out to be the cause of the problem. |
