losing power
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I bought my son a 1998 Honda accord coupe. It has a 3.0 ltr V tech. When driving the car when its really hot outside, the car shuts off and seems to lose power. A friend of mine is a mechanic, and he said to change the coil, so I did, and it still shuts down while driving. Please help.

Have your friend change the fuel filter..your car may have water or bad fuel in it..does this also happen when it's cool outside?.
You could also have bad plugs not gapped properly, wires that are cracked..check them in the dark and see if they arc (hey that rymed)
Also you could have a leak in your intake manifold or some or one of your vacume hoses..
Phew....and that's just for starters... Find a Good Mechanic who looks for the obivios things on Old Cars...
