Brand new to this group. Thanks in advance with any advice.

My 2009 v6 auto just started to "chug" a bit when I accelerate between 18-40 mph.

Unfortunately, I guess, it does not do it all the time, therefore diagnosis is difficult for a mechanic.

Also, this car is somewhat new to me, any great Honda shop recommendations in Austin TX would be welcomed.

Moved post for better response.

More info needed. By chugging, do you mean engine is lugging w/ low rpm for speed, similar to a manual trans run too low speed w/o downshifting?

Please clarify.

good luck

 

I feel it in the gas pedal, it's as though it cuts out or lugs a bit. All is well when I reach 40 mph.

Between 20-40 it may do it 3 times

 

Missing is almost always spark plugs w/ later model Accords since they no longer have distributor or spark plug wires.

Is Check Engine Light ever on? If yes get the code read at Autozone and post.

good luck
