    I have a 1999 Accord V6, about 197,000 kms. The car was just tuned by
    a independent garage who is a Honda specialist, who replaced the plugs
    with NGK Platium, new ignition wires, rotor and distributor cap plus a
    new air filter. They also cleaned the fuel system, changed the timimg
    belt and water pump. Car ran great after the work. The Car runs
    Castrol Syntec 5W30 since 20,000 kms and up to this point has been
    very reliable.

    So here is the problem, the engine starts to stumble and sputter when
    I try to accelerate, once I back off it usually catches again. The
    problem doesn't happen all of the time but has happened more recently
    lately. The last occurance the check engine light came on and my local
    Honda Dealer said that the code showed a problem with the fuel flow
    voltage which did not explain the current problem. They could not see
    any other problems. Once they cleared the code, the car ran normally.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any idea's of where
    to look next. I drive on the highway and can't afford an unrealiable
    car.

    Could you PLEASE be a bit more vague?

    Do NOT, whatever you do, post the actual alphanumeric error code!
    Don't do it!

    We might be able to help you then, and God forbid that should actually
    happen!

    -------------------------------

    Put injector cleaner in it three - four times a year and please post the
    numeric CODE you were given. Is your coolant reservoir filled to the MAX
    mark? The owner's manual says you should do that whenever any work has
    been performed on the cooling system. Low coolant (air in cooling
    system) will screw up _just about everything_ on a Honda.

  5. Curse that Psychic Wednesday! I keep forgetting and I continue to wear my
    AFDB (http://www.zapatopi.net/afdb/) which makes me useless that day. Unlike
    the other days, of course.

    I've gone high-tech. I use titanium foil; it's very effective.
