2000 Honda Accord fuel system problems

Filed Feb 3, 2021 · Engine, Fuel system · 118,234 miles · FL

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.

Check engine light is on and has to do with the emission system. Mechanic says there is a pin hole in the hose to the gas tank causing this. This is the same issue I had will my 1984 honda accord and it was covered under a recall. Has there been or can there be a recall on this 2000 model as well? Thanks!

I fear my vehicle is being denied a recall due to it by honda. My vehicle failed its annual emissions test on aug. 22. The state sent me a notice informing me that my 2000 honda accord was part of a recall class in 2004 that was connected to an emissions problem. I received no alert from honda about such a recall. When I asked honda about it this week, they told me my car was not part of the recall class. And they claimed that they could determine this by my car's VIN -- that the VIN indicated it was not part of the recall class. So I am asking for your help to determine if my vehicle is part of the recall. Based on my review of your "2004 annual summary of emission related recall" (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/recall/420b05022.pdf), it seems like it is part of the class. Thank you for your help.

2000 v6 honda accord died without warning at a stoplight and since then it has become more frequent over shorter and shorter time periods/distances. During the first few several occurrences like this it just died either while stopped or while running but could be re-started by putting car into park gear and re-starting. No warning, no sputtering, no shaking and so on prior to any of the dying. The only indication it has died is the dash panel indicator lights would all be on as though the car was just being started. During re-start the dash panel lights would be lit like they should be just prior to starting. Now as of yesterday the pattern has changed to still dies and the dash panel lights come on but when you shift to park and then try to re-start none of the dash panel lights come on and all you hear is the cranking of the engine but not starting. Eventually after a few minutes (1-5 minutes) of being off you could then re-start the car and the dash panel lights would light up prior to the re-start like they should. Unfortunately toward the end of yesterday that pattern again changed to where the lights would not come on during the attempt to re-start even after 40 minutes. I called honda on 06/18/2013 and spoke to an agent and told her that I believe this is the same issue that honda had a recall for dealing with the ignition switch under recall#:36754 in the USA and also another in canada for the identical issue my accord is demonstrating. Honda seems to want to hid behind the idea that if my VIN is not in the recall then I am out of luck. This is a life threatening driving condition the car dies while moving without warning. I am sure they are other owners with this same issue (web is full of owners decreeing this issue) that have just had car repaired but never filed report here to bring issue to your organization's attention.

I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 MPH as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from il rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 MPH. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 MPH. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with honda accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.

Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle. Dealership never informed the existence of a recall.

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.
