    Just posting back. I've been working on my car a bit here an there, replaced fuel pump, belts, fuel pressure regulator, etc.. My car is seriously weak. I wish another 6g accord owner that had experience with i4 5speeds could drive mine and confirm either my car is weak sauce or thats how it...

    98 Accord LX dies/shuts off while driving....HELP!

    I had this same issue! I just got my '98 accord 2 weeks ago. I had it cut out on me the first day I drove to work. I researched when I got to work and I read a ton of stuff about problematic starter switches. I bought a new one and replaced my switch that night cause who wants to stall at...

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    Just following up. I re-flowed the bad solder joint on my main relay. Drove around with no problems stalling. I then recieved my order yesterday. I installed my new fuel pump/strainer, spark plugs and fuel pressure regulator. I then drove it today about 80 miles to work and back and not...

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    Check this out. got a wild hair and pulled my main relay and just guess what I found. yup, bad solder joint under a 12V relay side. I'll be re-flowing this bad boy and give it the old highway smoke test. Fingers crossed this is the cause of the stalling issue. If it is, then Igor, you...

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    This issue kills me. I just checked prices on fuel pumps. Amazon had killer deal on new Bosch pump and strainer so I just ordered it. (~$60.00) when the local car parts shops wanted ~$120+ for pump alone and strainer was additional $20.00 and these were just generic brands. I also ordered...

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    Thanks. Yeah, i read ignition switch was a known issue and a cause for stalling, that's why I replaced mine last week on the same night that I had a stall. Bought new one from AutoZone. Before replacing, I even tested the old one by wiggling and smacking it around when I had it out. I could...

    Man! Mere minutes from my house. I'm intrigued. I may make it, depending on if i can get my Accord issues sorted out and I don't sell it out of frustration/lack of patience. :)

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    Thanks! I wonder how best to rule out ignition chip reader or alarm. I'm not sure it even has an alarm. If so, it would be factory.

    Ideas? Stalling in transit on highway f23a1 '98 EX 5speed.

    Hi, I bought my '98 Accord EX f23a1 5-speed last Monday. I drove to work on Tuesday morning and it stalled and kicked back on i believe because it is manual so it just started again like a push start. I researched causes, saw some campaign about starter switch issues causing cars to stall, so...

    '98 Accord EX 4cyl - F23A1 Manual Trans - poor acceleration >3000rpm?

    Today I tried 2nd gear while going 45 and I was right at 4500rpm. Seemed to have some pull but also seemed kinda high. Does the VTEC really work as it does on h22? kick in at a certain RPM? Something I tried last night was clean my EGR valve ports. I checked the Haynes/Chilton/whichever...

    '98 Accord EX 4cyl - F23A1 Manual Trans - poor acceleration >3000rpm?

    It's hard to tell. I've only had it since last Friday. I hope it doesn't get worse. It doesn't seem to smell like eggs. Haha.. I remember iridiums were recommended for the EX-V6. I was pretty surprised when I pulled the plugs out of my current Accord and saw they were iridium's. I...

    Cool, cool. Yeah, im in Syracuse and WVC, so definitely in the same neck of the woods as you both. I remember scanning the KSL classifieds recently and I kept seeing a silver 6th gen accord coupe that was for sale. Was that yours? I've done a ton of searching, but couldn't really identify...

    '98 Accord EX 4cyl - F23A1 Manual Trans - poor acceleration >3000rpm?

    I bought a '98 EX-V6 with an auto tranny. The thing was smooooth and it had tons of get-up-an-go. Right after I bought it (after xmas 2013) I saw how many probs people were having with the auto transmissions. With how smooth of a ride this car was, I loved it, but I didn't want to risk...

    '98 Accord EX 4cyl - F23A1 Manual Trans - poor acceleration >3000rpm?

    I picked up a 1998 Accord EX 5-speed a couple weeks ago. I bought it from a guy that was a mechanic. He had the top end rebuilt last year mainly for burnt valves. He says that it was cleaned, valve seats and guides were replaced and, a new timing belt, head gasket, etc. He gave me reciepts of...
