Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 4DOOR SEDAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AFTER IT WAS SHUT OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. EACH TIME I TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER AND RUN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN STALLED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS TO GET THE ENGINE GOING AND IF I RELEASE THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND JUST DIE. THE STRANGE PART IS IF I CAN GET THE CAR IN GEAR AND DRIVE WITH THE GAS APPLIED FOR ABOUT ONE BLOCK, THE ENGINE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SO THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY IN CONTROL. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HOOKED UP SOME KIND OF COMPUTER TO THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE ACCORD IS A NICE CAR BUT THIS CONSTANT ENGINE-STARTING PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *NM
