Lately my car has been stalling out after it sits for a while. I took it in for a tune up but the repairman thought it may be due to low oil reading. I did an oil change and the car ran OK for 2 weeks. Now, the problem is back. Also my engine light has just come on . My gas cap is tight. I went to a higher octane gas. I am thinking of changing my spark plugs. They look a little strange on the VTEC engine.

 

#1. have you pulled the codes from your CEL?

 

get the code read on the CEL.



My guess? I think it's a severely jammed EGR valve ... could be just about anything though.

 

EGR FTL!

I got $10 that's what it is.

 

EGR, seafoam and change spark plugs. do a search. and stop wasting your money on the high octane gas.

 

believe it or not... out v6 accords get less hp on premium gas
