Advise Needed On The Series Of Problems With 2000 Model Honda Accord by davodyguy: 12:30pm On Aug 07, 2013
the major issue im facing is that, the car vibrates when ever i engage the gear and vibrates more when the gear is in d4 and AC is on simultaneously. Most times i have to drive the car without AC. It will get to a point when the car is extremely warmed up or hot that it will rough idle and tries to shut down by it self. Once i turn the ac off and the car would stablize a bit.

Also when the car is hot, the ac would not work properly and would blow hot but in the early hours of the day the AC is super cold till the engine gets warmed up and the car starts misbehaving.


Pls i need help.


Thanks

Change your compressor to the original spec and avoid welding of any of the pressure pipes. Also make sure that your ac guy does not fill with more than 2 cans of gas or 2 1/2 cans.

Car-Doctor.

Thanks man. someone already pointed that out which i would definitely do at the end of the month. Im not AC crazy

point 2 thats worrying is the issue of vibration. either in gear or not it vibrates whilst idling below 1000RPM and once its over, it moves really well and speeds well.

What could be the cause.

please dont tell me its bad mount cos i ve changed everything
dont tell me its injector or plugs cos everything is new.

what else could be the cause?

Check plug cables, one or more might be loosing current.

Thanks [/quote from my experience as an auto tech...the best approach to such situation to avoid unnecessary expenses ..DO A COMPUTERIZED DIAGNOSIS then u can work based on that..

do a computerized diagnosis ...thats the best approach now since u've nearly changed everything in ur engine then make sure the things changed are functional
Re: Advise Needed On The Series Of Problems With 2000 Model Honda Accord by davodyguy: 1:16pm On Aug 20, 2013

How about increasing the idling RPM to say 1500 or 2000?
