I didn't replace it, and all is well. (So far)

Go with the old saying: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Cruise control doesn't work, and any sort of uphill climb will bleed my rpm and speed. Just zero torque whatsoever.

It's a 2001 Honda Accord EX, 4Dr, 5 speed. F23A4 engine.



Background info that may have something to do with it: 3 days before this all went down, my ground cable wiggled
out of the amp and was stuck on the power cable, which was still in the amp. Haven't used the system in over a year, wish I just woulda taken it out.

I hope I've given enough info, if not just ask. Thanks on advance for help.
Oil pressure switch, throttle body relay or the 15amp fuse

You need to do some testing because numerous items can cause this type of symptom.

Is the check engine light on? Stop by a parts store and have them scan for code(s). Post the code(s) on here and we can give you direction. Do not just replace a part based on the code, like P0401 does not necessarily mean to replace the O2 sensor, for example.

I also have power loss and the engine wont tach above 3500. There is no check engine light. Ive had it put on the diagnostic like 4 times, and no codes came up. I did find a dead or lazy O2 sensor(primary), but it set no check engine light. I have replaced plugs, air filter, pcv, checked all vacuum hoses and replaced the pcv vent hose. I cant figure it out for the life of me. I think it might be a bad converter, only because when i have traveled a few times up a steep hill i smelled something hot, but the engine temp was normal. Is there a way to test for a bad convertor without expensive diagnostics? I also ran a compression test recently. I got 180 psi per cylinder which it maintained for at least 15 secs. Is this good compression for this motor? Im still leaning towards bad convertor, but damn they are so expensive, lol.

Can anyone help?

Mr Harp, ive got the same issue, hope u figured it out already, and if u have let me know please.

On the 04 accord. With the 2.4 I had the same issue and it was my VTV Screen. It's a small little square screen on the side of the motor. You have to take the alternator and the power steering brackets off and it's a little like 1.5"x1.5" screen with 2 10mm bolts. I took mine off cleaned what I could in the motor there and then cleaned the square screen with carb cleaner. Put it back together and worked great. Happens about once a year now.hope this helps

I have a 05 accord LX automatic transmission 2.4 engine,
on doing my research I came across a few different possible problems ..
my pedal sensor thingy,
fuel filter..
I yet to have actually have issue fixed.
but i do how ever know that when on the highway if i pull over to the side shut car off turn back on and rev past 3000 rpms then throw it into drive, yeah i burn out but i can drive without it having the issues of not passing 3000 rpms and not going past 80 mph,
otherwise it only does the 3000 rpms and i can only go 80 max speed.
i hope since the posts on here were back in 2014 that someone reads this...
is it the cat? or what PLEASE HELP
