The replacement of the failing ignition distributor (engine light is on), which is essential part of the emission control system, is required on my 1995 honda accord wagon lx. In addition, there is a significant decrease to the mileage and speed sensor may need to be replaced. According to honda north america the extension of the emission warranty (tsb# 98-081) granted to all 1995-v6, 1996-all and 97-all accords, is not applicable to my year and model. Since the same exact issues were reported for vehicles covered by extension of the emission warranty (tsb#98-081), honda should also extend this coverage to 1995 v-4 accords.

Often after completing long freeway drive of over 2hours in length and when coming to a complete stop after exiting the freeway, engine RPM suddenly jumped to over 3,000 and vehicle began to surge forward into the intersection. Had to exert extreme force on the brake to keep the car from accelerating forward. After pulling over to the side of the road with the engine still racing uncontrollably, shifted into park and began to release the brake. As brake was released, engine RPM began to drop, returning to normal idle. Turned off and restarted engine. Problem did not happend again as drive resumed.
