I'm having the same issue...when the engine is cold, it moves at normal speed. But when it gets hot maybe after driving about 10 minutes, the acceleration drops. Even to climb a smooth hill would become a serious problem as it moves very slowly. But if I stop and restart the engine and accelerate immediately as the engine is still hot, it accelerates very fine but after some time or when I meet a traffic, it goes back to the slow annoying acceleration. So I would have to restart to move on several occasions. My car is Honda Accord 2005 v6. Plz if you have a solution to this plz help me out on my WhatsApp...+2348101570712 or my Gmail... chynaeke@gmail.com. I have spent money trying to solve this problem at the mechanic but it's not working. Thank you very much.

I have the same issue with my client car
The car was working on the road and eventually off and the car was rolling and didn't start , so I checked the shocking, fuel pressure, coil, fuse, and everything i mentioned here was working perfectly. So I kept on rolling the ignition for some time and the car later start and it was working for some minutes and went off again

Problem 2013 Accord LX 4cyl

Honda Accord 2013 LX Sedan 2.4L CVT
This has happened to me several times during the past two years. When i slow down to turn a corner, or slow down for a traffic light, going at a slow speed from approx. 15 mph to 25 mph, the car appears to stall. As if the engine has stopped. When i push on the accelerator nothing happens. If i take my foot off the gas, then push down again, the car surges ahead. I have called this to the attention of the dealer and the service tech always says that they checked it and found nothing wrong. I am afraid that on one of those times that the car suddenly loses power that i will be tailgated if ther… Read complete

This complaint regards my 2010 honda accord. At around 21,500 miles, i noticed my vehicle began making a humming sound toward the front of the vehicle.
