Hello Autolanders,
I have been driving this Honda Accord (2002 Model) popularly called Honda Henessy for about two years now. A few weeks ago, the car just went off in motion. Initially, I tried to kick thinking it was due to fuel shortage, but realised noticed that the sound was different. I had to contact a mechanic who confirmed that the timing belt had cut and I fixed it immediately.
Now the problem is that after it was fixed, the car started stopping abruptly on its own once I step on the brakes. I have to wait a few seconds to turn it on again. I contacted my electrician who suspected accumulation of dirts in the fuel pump and he serviced it thoroughly. The problem ceased for a while but recently re-occurred. Mind you, the fuel pump has been confirmed to be in perfect shape.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be and help me with solution(s)?

Run a scan on your ride. Yours is obd2 compliant. Fixing cars these days have gone beyond the scope of performing magic/ or guessing

Timing is likely off. Just one teeth off from normal point can cause a lot of problems. Get a competent mechanic to check and reset the timing.

Thanks a lot.

you def have to take your car for diagnosis. the obd2 scanner will tell what the matters are, your camshaft sensor,crankshaft sensor and over retarded timing related issues might pop up!!
