I was driving down the highway at around 70 MPH. No problems all morning. Suddenly a stuttering and bucking appeared! I immediately pulled over and shut off the engine. I got out, checked all the fluids, looked under the car, etc. I found nothing wrong, no fluid dripping, etc. The car was not overheated, no warning lights were on. I started the car, it started with no problem, and began to drive again. After reaching only 10 mph, the car began to buck and stutter again. I again pulled over and stopped. The car would idle fine and pull up to 10 mph fine, anything over that and I would buck. So, I thought I would try driving towards home at 8 MPH until I got close enough for AAA to come get me (about 40 miles). This worked for about 30 minutes until the car got worse, and eventually would not start anymore. We got that car back home and checked out what we could. The pumps (2) both seem to be pumping, the fuel filter is not obstructed. We are getting a spark, but no gas to the injectors. We can loosen the injector feed line and get just a drizzle of fuel out of it. I have the 2.6 engine. Anybody have any ideas? HELP!
Had thew same problem in my 1986 Honda Accord (long since scrapped) it was the fuel pump. Try taking it to a good mechanic and have them check to see if it is working properly (remove and run it for a while and once in a while try shaking it a little - simulate bad roads).
Thats the best advice I can give you at this time.
The pressure as it enters the fuel distributor seems very high, although I haven't got the proper guages. Also, the fuel pressure regulator seems to have very high pressure feeding back towards the tank. But, as I have previously stated, nothing to speak of into the injectors. Could the fuel presuure regulator be the culprit? Isn't it vacuum operated? I couldn't get a vacuum to hold on the vacuum line going into it. Just like sucking air through a straw, no resistance. Anybody?
I had a similar problem in the past. Up to a point where when I started the car, it died right away. It was the pump. The pump goes for less than $200 Bosch OEM. Replace the filter too. I don't think you need to replace the accumulator.
After all that, car started again!
After like a 9 months, my car (right now) dies suddenly for no reason... [:(] I think something is stuck somewhere...
New development:
We got a guage on the end of the fuel line going into the fuel distributor, and it measured over 100lbs of pressure with the key on. This leads me to the conclusion that I need a new fuel distributor. Anybody wanna point out the flaw in this reasoning?
