02 Civic trouble cranking & trouble accelerating
As my name says, I don't particularly know cars.
2002 Honda civic lx Approx 170k Here's the basic deal- We have a code, lower coolant sensor etc etc. The car "struggles" cranking. I can turn it & it'll start, shutter, & turn off. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough that it's a problem. Earlier this week the engine stopped accelerating, even with the gas pedal down. Spark plugs were changed, as was the fuel pump & filter. Drove fine for 2 days (just general errands, but was driven to test it as well). Hesitated cranking today, got about 1/2 mile down the road & tried accelerating & it nothing would happen. Was able to get home, but car wouldn't get above 15-20mph. Any thoughts or help would be greatly greatly appreciated. |

you didn't answer my question so im going to assume you didn't replace the sensor or even read the first paragraph of the wikipedia article i posted. i own a 2004 civic when and if i get a code i replace the parts relevant to the code given i don't go throwing money on parts that could be related to the issue. it sounds like your mechanic ripped you off for stuff you didn't actually need instead of replacing the inexpensive sensor in the first place ???

+1 do not expect any car to run properly with a code set.

I appreciate everyone being giant assholes when I asked for additional information, not for people to come down on me for looking at everything. No wonder this website sees little traffic in comparison to other sites. Get over yourselves you jack wagons. |
i tried to get more information from you with my original question and you took offence to it for some reason or you didn't want to hear what i was saying either way the reason we don't have more members is because of obtuse people like you who only hear what they want to hear. im absolutely sure your mechanic found a bunch more problems to charge you for lol. live and learn i guess but there's no reason to call members names . anyway good luck on the other forums that i can guarantee you im also a member of if not a mod.
