Your vehicle may be part of a 2002 honda/acura recall. Faulty ignition switch!! Typical symptoms are: Random stalls, hard start, no spark, power loss (symptoms progress in hotter weather). When the vehicle stalls/shuts off while in motion, usually the speedometer drops to "0" while in motion. Some warning light not lit when ignition is set to "on" (chk engine/ABS/Brake etc.). Call your local dealer with your VIN# on hand and check if your vehicle is part of the recall. Refer to faulty ignition switches, affected years (1998-2002 models), accords/preludes/pilot/Odyssey/Civic/CR-V and various Acura models.
Do you think they would replace this again if I had the recall taken care of when it was issued? What you posted does make perfect sense as that is what is happening. Thanks much.
If the part was never replaced, I assume they would replace for free!! But I am unsure if they have a time frame. I would recommend calling them for info, they will be able to pull info on your vehicle with your VIN#. Hopefully this help'd!!
I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd add my .02 I had the same exact issues and when I took it to the dealer, they told me that my car (Accord 1999) was part of that recall IslandGuy mentioned. However, in my case that was not the reason. They replaced the ignition switch as part of the recall, but they told me that my ignition coil was just old and worn, which was creating my problems.
What was the point of this post? the issue stated above includes "certain warning lights not lit in conjunction with the NO SPARK condition"!!If your vehicle does not exhibit all symptoms listed above by me, then you should post elsewhere! Not all "no spark", "stalling" conditions are related to the recall/defective switch! thanks
