Recently my engine has been stauling automatically on my 1998 accord ex V6 coupe. It has around 225 kilometers not miles. A few times i had trouble to start it after turning the engine off and starting up again within a few mintues. And recently it stauled on me after taking off from a stop light. After it stauls it takes at least 5 minutes until it can start again. Anyone encounter something like this? There is no check engine light. Im kindof guessing either spark plugs need to be changed or maybe fuel pump?? any other ideas to consider?

thanks

 

check
Fuel: (Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, Fuel Injectors) Check pressures and see if they are clogged.
Ignition: Change spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. All that will be less than 100 dollars. and about 30-60 minutes worth of work.
Get OEM parts if you can.


also is it bogging when you accelerate and then stalls?
Or does it just die all together.

 

98 doesn't have a normal fuel filter. Only has a fine mesh screen inside the tank, on the suction inlet of the pump.

Factory spark plug wires are pricey, but they seem to last forever. I wouldn't replace them unless I see evidence of failure, like visible arcing (or blue glow) in the dark.

 

well it doesnt bog when i accelerate, but i would think it would when it wants to staul. it just dies all together

 

See if you can get the car to stall by shaking the key while the engine is running.

 

ignition switch recall done ???
