My 2000 honda accord v6 3.0 vtec engine is having some issues after it heats up when I start it would do some erratic RPM changes on idle and then stall. If I manage to get it moving despite RPM drops, it runs great and would not stall again. Also, if I leave it for a while (like 15 minutes) and then come back, it usually starts like nothing happened I believe this is a defect with PCM and fuel pressure regulator the issue has to do with ethanol having a lower boiling point than traditional gas. This causes it to vaporize on the fuel rail when the car's warm, but no long pumping gas because it's off. When you go to re-start the car, instead of liquid gas, you are spurting on fumes on the rail. I have not had this fixed on my car yet I've been doing some research and found several articles online and refers to this particular problem I've had my car service with a tune-up oil change and a fuel induction service I've also replaced the alternator and the throttle positioning sensor it is still giving me issues I would like to see if there is validity to my claim.

My 2000 honda shut down while driving on the freeway in 2010, restarted right away. When I took it to my mechanic he couldn't find anything wrong. Since then it has done it about 10 times, a few times when cold starting but usually in summer when air temperature is very hot. My mechanic has kept it over a weekend to see if he could get the car to fail starting, but no luck. I am afraid to take it on a long trip even though it has only 129,300 miles on it.

I own a 2000 honda accord that I purchased brand new. The car has been shutting down while I am on the road with no warning. This happens at different speeds. Also when I pull over the engine will start immediately, but now it is hard to start and will stall immediately after starting it. I took my car to dealer on 6/7/11. The dealership had my car until june 9, 2011, but said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So far I have been lucky that nobody has been behind me when the car has died. I called the dealer again on 6/18/11 and spoke with anita, who made it seem like I was crazy. She said they would have checked for any open recalls. I looked on line and I found that this has been an ongoing problem for other honda owners. My car has 103,000 miles, and this started happening in february, but is occurring more frequently. I did some research and found out that you investigated this under campaign number 02v120000 but I didnt see that 2000 accords were included in this.

I'd drive down the freeway or up a hill to get to a parking structure at school and the car would stall and slip gears where I thought it would roll backwards or people behind me would get annoyed and pass at relatively close and high speeds. I was on my way home from work one night when the transmission completely went out on me roughly 2 blocks away from my house. I barely could make it over 10 MPH and had my car sit in the parking lot for 6 months. My brother has put in a new battery and suggested I put new transmission fluid in, but the fluid is full and the car still slips. I knew it was a transmission problem which is more complicated since I know that's a lot more pricey than what I can afford right now, and all I want is for my car to be in working order again since this car should last a lot longer since it's been taken care of.

After driving my 2000 honda v6 coupe for 30 minutes or more, it would have problems starting if shut off for about 20 minutes. It would start and then stall. The only way to get it started is to give it gas and shift into gear quickly which is dangerous. Also there was a tsb 00-024 for this and I got it done for close to $710. This really isn't fair as I didn't do anything wrong to have this issue. It is clearly a case of a manufacturing defect.

During a normal drive and then a stop at a red light, car's engine stalls. After auto shop examination, the conclusion was that the ball bearing in the engine's tensioner locked up, thus throwing the timing belt off and bending valves due to incorrect timing. A whole new engine was required to fix it because of the extensive damage. Old engine has been removed and replaced and I don't think it would be available.
