    Slips in 4th and reverse when warm, 2001 V6 4 Door

    Idemitsu Type H is literally Honda ATF. Most idemitsu transmission fluid is OEM, just lacking the OEM lable. I'd rather run than than the Maxlife tbh. I know it's pricey to swap in that fluid, but our whole forum chants dw-1 for a reason. Nothing against Maxlife, but it is a 'universal' ATF. It...

    Erratic Idle/No Start when engine warm

    Update. Have been driving the car occasionally the last month, putting over 500 miles on it. It has not overheated at all. Definitely needs a heater core flush, as on cold days you barely get cab heat. Blower motor was replaced (mice) and tons of new coolant is in the system. Idle continues to...

    Slips in 4th and reverse when warm, 2001 V6 4 Door

    What codes if any do you get when it slips/doesn't engage? Honda ATF for these guys is DW-1, if you haven't already switched. These transmissions are cranky at best with their fluid, and Honda genuine is the best for it. Valvoline MaxLife is good stuff, but not for these trans. Idemitsu Type H...

    Stalling/lost of power

    Any codes stored? Even temporary ones? My V6 had similar symptoms, bad crankshaft position sensor. It threw the crank code only once a half year prior which was my only clue. Would start stalling out at idle/lights/stop signs ect. Never threw another code for it and the crankshaft position...

    Erratic Idle/No Start when engine warm

    Update. We installed another IACV, and the backup connector arrived. We soldered in the new connector as the one we fixed still had the power pin moving around interrupting the signal. The other IACV seemed to have some coolant passing by, not much but enough. We really cleaned the mating...

    Erratic Idle/No Start when engine warm

    Crankshaft Sensor fixed the fail to start/stall while idling issue. Starts and runs like a champ until its warm. P/S pump was installed, doing good there. Found out the lower radiator hose clamp was rusted and loosening, causing the car to lose coolant while hot. A new clamp solved that problem...

    Erratic Idle/No Start when engine warm

    So I dug out the main relay (PGM-Fi/Fuel Pump) from under the dash. It did not look horrible with the solder joints, but two pins were fused together with solder, and the copper braids on the side of the relays had no solder left and looked a smidge toasty. I resoldered them and the car started...

    Erratic Idle/No Start when engine warm

    Hey All, I'm new to this forum, been on DriveAccord for a bit, but need more specific help. I have a 2000 V6 Coupe with 300k that's been sitting for a while while I revamped the fuel system (Brake/Fuel Lines, Tank and filler/fuel hoses ect many things). I have this issue we've been...
