Jack,here is the stroy with our 06 Accord , a sparkplug backed out and was moving up and down in the cylander. Eventually a piece broke off and went into the engine. All this with regular check ups and servicing. No one caught it, heard it and no warning lights came on until it was to late. Too late was when it started to stutter.
dodong5 from United States 6 years ago
The only thing that you could do with that is to remove the head and bring it to the machine shop,that way they could check it if the head is any good,or take the head to remove the piece that was left inside and put a healy coil to tread back the plug

Honda has a sensor that protects your engine when it is faulty, It wouldn’t raise past 3,000rpm when in hear but when you park it raises but engine will make funny noise

It jerks while driving and especially when turning a corner, when you give it a brake, the pickup stops and even stops. If you give it a brake before cutting the corner and don't give it a brake while cutting, it doesn't stop, but it often breaks.

Sounds like you may have a fuel pump issue, it may have been caused by running the fuel extremely low. Some of the "dust" in the fuel tank may have been sucked into the line it may help to run a good fuel additive and fill up your fuel tank and make sure it stays above half or at least a quarter tank.

Issues 2011 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr 6cyl 5A

Honda Accord 2011 EX V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A
This is the honda accord 2011 ex (v6) model. When moving at very slow speeds, say around 2-4 mph, there sometimes is a flat spot, ie no acceleration when stepping on the accelerator pedal. , at this point there seems to be a 2 to 3 second hesitation before the care suddenly accelerates and lurches forward. Sometime, when this situation occurs, nothing happens when pressing the accelerator; then the accelerator must be completely released and pressed again, or pumped, to get moving and at some point power suddenly returns and the car lurches forward. This problem seems to occur most often whe… Read complete

Check charge system

Honda Accord 2016 Sedan 161089 miles
About 3 weeks ago my car would randomly not start. The battery was only about 15 months into a 100 month warranty so I took it to Honda and had it replaced. Not long after that or right about the time I was jumping it off with jumpbox, it started make a racket ,which sounded like the handle that had fallen off the jump handle which fell down into front drivers side under hood and like it was clunking around in the fan. I took it to a supposedly great family-owned automotive shop The guy looked at it and listen to it and said it sounded like the bearings in the alternator were going out but I… Read complete

Check your ground connections. I have a 2006 v6 that had the same issues with not charging the battery even though the alternator and battery were replaced. The old alternator tested good so I unnecessarily threw away $270 bucks. The issue for me I eventually discovered, was the side engine mount bracket bolts had sheared and severed the ground connection. There’s a ground cable that bolts to the mount bracket. I replaced the bracket (the bolts were seized so I had to replace the whole thing) and problem solved.

It's definitely a process of elimination and a work in progress I'll let you know the outcome
Stickerpie from United States 2 years ago
They told me, the guy at the repair shop that put in the new alternator which was not putting out enough voltage and then in turn put in another alternator which is when I was getting the check charge system occasionally pop up on the dash said that that alternator was overcharging so I'm having a third alternator put in and we will see the outcome...
Tomato from United States 2 years ago
Sounds like you are chasing your tail. And the odds that you have two failed alternators is highly unlikely. At this point I’d be looking for an electrical repair specialist who can find the real issue. Most technicians will just keep throwing parts at the problem. Which obviously isn’t fixing it

Next day same shit i get out tap the top of the fuse box and it starts right up.... Which relay was it in the 2015?
Tomato from United States 2 years ago
@TrevThere should be a diagram under the fuse box cover that tells you what relays and fuses are where. Try switching the starter and or ignition switch relay with an identical one from another socket. If the starting issue goes away, then you know it’s a bad relay
Fefe from United States 2 years ago
Um, it's down on the right side of the battery. Underneath the light sockets

I now have it to the point of taking battery cables off then on and it starts but won't fire up again until I repeat that process

2012 Accord 6cyl fix

Honda Accord 2012 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A
This is an intermittent recurring issue with the vehicle. When making a slow speed turn, typically accelerating from a traffic light or stop sign, the engine will not respond to the accelerator being depressed. This occurs if i have to lift off of the accelerator and reapply pressure, due to traffic slowing around turns or other driving conditions that necessitate lifting off of the gas pedal and then stepping on it the problem has not happened when going straight, only on turns. There have been times where this has proven to be unnerving and potentially dangerous as there were vehicles approa… Read complete

Dr. VentureYT from United States 4 years ago
What you need is the EPS or Pedal Position Sensor. It's the actual pedal assembly. Since these cars are "fly by wire" there is no push/pull cable it's all electric now.

Ok awesome thank you the dealership that's closest to me has been of no help at all but I actually got it towed down to where I bought the car originally and their going through the entire car for me since it's still under warranty and I did mention that peddle assembly to them so im glad I was correct about assuming that's what it was haha well see in a day or so when they call me what they all did but thank you for your quick reply I really appreciate it!

Within 2 weeks of purchasing a new honda i experienced a 2 to 3 second hesitation problem when trying to accelerate from low speeds. The first time it happened i was on a green light turning left, so i had to yield to oncoming traffic. I had slowed down to about 3 or 4 mph but tried to accelerate once the way was clear only to find that i had no power! i then pressed the accelerator all the way to the floor but nothing happened. It was almost as if the car had stalled. Just as i was about to try and restart the car it kicked in and i surged ahead just seconds before being hit head on. The same… Read complete

No accel when pedal pushed to the floor + Check Engine light is on.

Honda Accord 1999 4 door 250000 miles
I will be going down the road and want to accelerate to highway speed, so I push the gas pedal down and the car will jerk back and forth but not accelerate and the accelerator can bottom out (when I push it all the way) without any acceleration happening. I do have a check engine light on.

Starts but does immediately

Honda Accord 1993 Sedan 2.2l 150000 miles
My husband and I have spent the last two weeks trying to figure out why our 2000 Honda Accord EX 3.0 V6 Sedan stopped running and we have been unsuccessful in our efforts. The car began hesitating and losing power when accelerating or going uphill. We thought it was a fuel filter problem, but we learned that the 2000 Accord sedan doesn't have a fuel filter, in the traditional sense; apparently it is built into the fuel pump and is not a serviceable or replaceable part. We had inherited the car with an oil leak, about 1 quart per 20 miles, of course we located and fixed that problem right awa… Read complete

Mine was like that until I changed the fuel injectors. Around the 270k mile mark. And the MAP sensor. Those 2 things got me outta the woods misfiring over 3krpm. The old injectors looked and tested fine, but were nonetheless the issue. When i got the new ones in? Bingo. Note: i also had new sparks and coils first, and a clean throttle body, intake hose, and manifold. These were pretty dirty.

Po 1259 fault

Honda Accord 2000 sedan 4cyl 125000 miles
Keep getting fault, so I changed V-TEC solenoid. Still get check engine on and car stutters when accelerating. Jump to wires in the V-TEC circuit to keep 12v on solenoid. Check engine does not come on anymore. The stuttering has stopped when flooring the accelerator but still takes awhile to shift to next gear.

Engine Missfiring(?)

Honda Accord 2017 LX 38000 miles
Got a bit of a story.
About 2 months ago I bought a 2017 Honda Accord LX (FWD) with Rebuilt Title & 38K miles. When warm/stopped at a light, the car will make loud grumbling noises and jerk forward. Kept having it looked at until about a month ago a family member took it out and it started leaking heavy fuel. Had the fuel leakage fixed but the Engine problem still persists.
I've had 2 mechanics say they can't figure out why it keeps missfiring, any advice? For any further context, I have the following lights: Check Engine, Electronic Power Steering, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Anti-lock brake System on.

Not starting

Honda Accord 2015 Accord/V6 15000 miles
Recently the car began to hesitate starting when I pushed the button. Like the battery was starting to get weak. Then it would not start at all. Dash lights would flash twice then everything goes out. Dealer replaced a module on the battery + wire connection and paperwork said it had a service bulletin on it. Two days later it did it again and dealer said new part drained the battery. They replaced the battery. We shall see what happens but I am losing confidence.
