Diagnosis (IAC?)
Question for those of you that may have dealt with it...the best advice I've gotten for my car has come from this forum, so I appreciate it and hope some people can shed some light on this.
I've been having serious problems with my Honda Accord (1995). Here's a post I made a couple weeks ago.
So, it turns out that didn't help. My car still randomly stops.
I've had people suggest the Distributor or the fuel pump. But I've been told it shouldn't be able to so easily start back up if it was either of those. A friend of mine who has worked on a lot of Honda's, says to get the throttle body and the IAC cleaned and readjust the idling speed (Don't know what any of that means...I'm a car dummy)
So is it possible for the IAC thing to be killing my car randomly? What about the distributor?
Thanks for your help! This forum is greatly appreciated.
EDIT - Wanted to note that I'm also taking my car to a Honda specialist on Monday
I've been having serious problems with my Honda Accord (1995). Here's a post I made a couple weeks ago.
So, I was having a problem with my 95 Honda Accord dropping it's RPM to zero and simply stalling out. It would start right back up after about 30 seconds, but the engine would completely stop and the lights and ac would stay on.
I took it to the mechanic and he called me this morning and said that I had a broken air induction tube and that he thinks that's why it's been dying.
Does anyone know if this sounds right? Would a break in an air induction tube cause my car to intermittently die and start again? Any help would be much appreciated...I just want to make sure I'm not paying for something that won't fix anything.

Does the check engine light turn on?
Have you checked for codes?
Use a thin paperclip or a piece of wire to short the blue service connector under the glove box to get the codes.
See: dhost.info/accordinfo/howto/cel.html
let us know if you get any codes or not.
