2000 honda accord starting problem ?
Ok so I have had the car about a week and up till last night I have had no running issues at all no missing power loss .nothing . I went to Walmart came home and about 30 mins later I jumped in it started it up and it cut right out tried again cut out then I tried starting it up and gave out some gas it sputtered a little bit and rpms went up and it ran fine let off the gas and it cut out . Started it again raised the rpms a bit put it in gear started moving and when I get a stop sign it sputtered a little bit drove off and it drove and started fine the rest of the night . I was wondering what you think it is ? Do they have glitches or were you thinking the IEC got stuck or fuel pressure issues etc 3.0 v6 thanks !

It started out sounding like a flaky ignition switch, so try something...
When it's stalling as soon as you start it, try holding the key just a bit to prevent it springing back COMPLETELY to the run position. Allow it to spring back just enough so the starter motor stops running. If that makes a difference, you can try a new switch. In fact, with your VIN any dealer can check whether your car has a recall on the switch.
But a flaky ignition switch doesn't exactly fit with it running fine for the remainder of the day.
