SOURCE: i have problem mi 91

Is there vibration in steering wheel? Check for bent wheel then check axle...again. Remans are not always good and new ones are just a bit more expensive. Also, check the output shaft bearing for excess play. Also try rotating tires to confirm it's not there.

SOURCE: randomly cuts off while driving.

Have the code read from the computer at any auto parts store. That will help point you in the right direction and at least eliminate some possibilities.

1987 Honda prelude dash lights Pgm-fi coming on

pedal pressure? the throttle sticks< OPEN?
ive never ever seen a post ever for pedal pressure,
what does that mean? im clueless here, and sounds very scary.
to any mech. after all, throttle valves failures, can be man killers.
so.....???
when failed does the engine crank over full speed with the starter?
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fail to start.
that normal sound of a good starter, yes?

is this an intermittent problem only?

NO start, ? (cranks robustly)
no, lets start at step one.
1: check all fuses. in both fuse boxes.
2: are the Headlamps working at full brightness.
3: does all the normal dash cluster lamps glow , key on.
Charge, Brake , Check engine lamp> all glow, if not, stop.
4: spark got spark at all cylinders, (a test)
my guess is engine is flooding, (smells) and is due to
lost spark.
ever do the 60k mile tuneup this decade?


this very old car has relic, warnings, back then.
non standard.

the PGM-FI is early name for CEL, check engine
on this engine you must find the ECU (PGM-FI box)
and see the LEDs on the side.
they can be made to blink secret codes. errrors
these errors will be key to diagnosis, i bet.

here is the clue
http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-c9084_ds477362

the cars FSM book covers how to diagnose no starts
or no cranks.

MY HONDA ACCORD 1997 LX V4 I DRIVE MY CAR AND IT WILL WORK FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT THEN GETS TO A POINT THAT THE CAR WONT STAR I LEAVE THE CAR FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN THE CAR WILL START DOES SOME...

I recommend that you check the main relay under the driver's side of the dash. it is a common failure in Hondas. the relays circuit board gets cracks in the solder points and causes the car not to start. this usually happens when the weather is hot and the car sits in the sun with the windows up. a quick check is to listen for 2 clicks when you turn the key on. look at PGM-FI light if you don't hear the second click when the light comes on then the relay is not setting to start the engine.

Light on dash says pgm-f1, what does this mean

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2689519

http://www.3geez.com

These three websites should help you out tremendously with your third generation Honda Accord. According to the top two forums, there is a box under your drivers seat which you will need to access from the back of the seat by folding it up and sliding it forward. There should be a small hatch on the box. Behind the hatch are some LED lights that will be blinking if the ignition is on and the PGM-F1 light is still on. This sequence of blinking is a code and you will need a book for the car to tell you what this code means, or a dealer can tell you. This will let you know why the light is on and what needs to be fixed.

I recommend becoming a member of www.3geez.com as they deal specifically with the year range of your car. If anyone knows answers to your questions, they will.

Good Luck!
