| Description of the problem | The engine does not respond (intermittently) to the throttle. This makes for a very dicey situation when turning across oncoming traffic or accelerating from a full stop, e. G., a traffic signal. To overcome the problem, you have to quickly let up on the accelerator pedal and just as quickly apply pressure to the pedal to get the engine to respond. During these episodes the engine is just idling. I took the car to a dealership which performed diagnostics. The answer was the typical one that you receive from a dealership: 'we couldn't duplicate the problem". From postings on the internet, this has been a problem for years with honda vehicles. In fact a dealership service writer told me that his brother has a honda which has had the same problem almost from the day he purchased it. I'm not just imagining this. The problem appears to be the throttle body relay or the throttle body itself which would be very expensive to replace. This isn't just my imagination at work. It has the potential to create a deadly situation. Thanks. |
