87' Accord, does not shut down after ignition is switched OFF, it keeps stalling. At this condition when i move the ignition to ON position the car starts without the aid of the starter. I had to get it off by switching the automatic gear randomly from P to D1 and back to shut the engine and switching OFF ignition. I observed while this happens the RPM goes to 3000 or little more than that and if you try driving at this condition, the car jumps as soon you put the stick to drive and accelerates automatically without pressing the gas. Would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance

 

wow.. just wow.. i can't say that i've heard anything quite like this before. what code id your ECU throwing? your ECU is located under you driver's side seat and you can tell which code it's throwing by turning your ignition switch to the on (not starter engage) position and counting how many times the LED indicator on the ECU blinks. that may tell us a little more. this is a bit of an odd problem.

Mine is a DX...Am not sure whether i have a ECU in the car, but will let you know when i see it in the day time tomorrow..Thanks for your response

 

is it fuel injected or carburated?

edit: doesn't matter.. both the a20a4 and the b20a2 have an ecu.. figured as much but wasn't sure

 

nvm its an 87..my mistkae

 

It is carburated

 

that link to the shop manual i posted has all the ECU codes by the way

 

just edited that post.. that doesn't matter. both engines offered that year have an ECU.. wasn't sure.. that's why i asked.

 

i used to have an old ass prelude, and that happened to me. What people told me is that it was just a shitty as motor, and it was "diseling." i used to have a way to get around it. but i forget now. OLD BAD memories are best when they go away...... also check your carborator. mine was leaking air. if thats the case sell your car
