Honda - Cr-v :: 1998 - Misfires While Decelerating - Fix?
Jul 16, 2015
My 1998 Honda CRV, automatic transmission, has 286,000 miles. The problem seems to be getting progressively worst, ie, the engine seems to misfire only when decelerating, most noticeably at highway speed -not evident during acceleration or while coasting. Also more noticeable when the engine is warm. I have used a bottle of injector / valve cleaner in the gas tank and I changed the fuel filter. My mechanic tells me that my front rotors are warped (but it seems if that were the problem, it would be noticeable during braking). The car needs a few other repairs but if I can't solve this problem I do not wish to sink any more money into it.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord (automatic) with 128k miles.
I've been having some strange grinding noises coming from the front while driving. It started off a couple of weeks ago as a very low (only some people could even hear it) humming kind of noise. It suddenly got worse one weekend and has now evolved into a louder, clearer grinding sound. Thought it was a wheel bearing, but the shop says it isn't. They think it might be the transmission. Here are some more details and a youtube video of the sound below:
-When accelerating, you can hear a low rhythmic humming, if anything.
-When coasting (not accelerating or braking), especially at speeds below 30 MPH, it makes a much clearer grinding noise that is still very rhythmic.
-When accelerating or braking, the sound goes away or is much lower and less noticeable.
-Appears to be speed dependent and not based on RPM.
-The noise is present when shifting into neutral while moving but not in park or reverse.
Here's a video of the sound: [URL] ..... It's filmed with my phone so it isn't great but you can probably hear it using headphones at a relatively loud volume. You can hear the low thumping/humming a little before 10 seconds in. You can hear the grinding noise from :11 seconds until the end (I'm decelerating), with it most audible after :20.

I have a 2007 Honda Fit with a standard transmission. My car has started losing power and decelerating even though, even with my foot on the gas. If I am on the interstate It will drop to about 35-40 and ten after 15 seconds or so it will accelerate again. If I am driving in town and I stop it will stall out. NO lights come on with it. It is very intermittent and I had to to the dealership and they said they couldn't tell what was going on since it didn't do it for them. I only have 70,000 miles and should have a road ready but I am afraid to take in on the interstate anywhere after a couple of frightening instances.

We have a 2005 honda civic hybrid; there is a squealing noise coming from front passenger side, when braking, when accelerating, decelerating, but not while driving at speeds of 30 mph, straight. Also when backing up, turning wheels. It's going to the mechanic on monday for regular maintenance, 100K miles, etc.

We do have a problem with our Honda. We have icons on the IP that flash at certain time. Icons are the "battery", "door ajar" and "parking brake". The icons flash when we take our foot off the accelerator and stop when we re-accelerate. Also, if we turn the headlights on during the flashing, it stops. We have a new battery and alternator. A battery check yesterday showed all functions were normal. What could cause this problem and what to do about it.

I have an 02 Civic EX. Engine light has been on for over a year, runs just fine. Reading misfires on 3 cyl, and cat code. I have since: changed all plugs and coils, changed both front and rear o2 sensors....switched coils around to see if code misfires changed (yes).
I see this is a common problem but no one has a solution..? I'd rather NOT change the cat converter and pay for that only to find out the light stays on. Need to smog so I can sell!

I have a 2007 Honda Fit that seems to misfire when idling both in park and drive. It occurs with the A/C on and off. We have changed the plugs and all coils and it continues. This car has 56,000 miles, the problem started at about 40,000 miles.

So I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX V6. When I turn off the car all the lights in the Dash are on without the key and sometimes the car stays on without the key. The only way I can turn off the car is by pressing the brakes. Don't know what exactly it can be. Also the doors and the battery light in the dash will flash when rolling the windows up or down.

My 1998 Honda Civic has been dormant in my drive way for about a month and a half with very little gas. I went out to try to start it the other day and it struggled for a bit and never turned over. It isn't the batter considering the headlights and radio work just fine, thus I sought out the nearby gas station and attempted to solve the problem by putting gas in it, yet when I returned and emptied out my gas can into the tank it was the same ol' story. What it could be?

I have a 1998 Honda Civic with 153,000 miles. Whenever I come to a stop my car just turns off, before it turns off the check engine light will flickr and the right passenger door makes weird noises. When it turns off I put the car in park and it turns back on perfectly. When it does turn off the battery light and oil light comes on and stays on. This morning it happened again and the car wouldn't start up for 10 minutes I need to know what's wrong before it gets worse. I already got a tune up on it. What could be wrong?

Vehicle- 98 honda crv lxproblem- it always starts when its cold(hasn't run for several hrs). Once its been running for a short while and is shut off, it either has a very hard time starting again or just won't start.
specifics- always starts the first timeonce engine is warm the problem startsengine turns but doesnt fire. Wears downs the battery. When I get it jumped the car will startsometimes the car will act sluggish during a left turn or from a dead stop when trying to accelerate quickly.
question- does this sound fuel pump related or battery related or both?
statement- car problems blow!

I have a 1998 honda civic LX that slips very very seldom upon acceleration. It happens under light acceleration and medium acceleration (I dont accelerate hard enough to see it slip at high acceleration, it might!)
What happens is, the car stops accelerating and simply idles. As the motor idles the car drifts and slows down. I have never done it, but I bet in this state I could come to a complete stop just by drifting if I keep my foot in the same spot on the accelerator. When I change my foot, and accelerate harder, the car wakes back up and keeps accelerating like nothing even happened.
I don't think it is the transmission slipping, because in that instance revs would climb and acceleration would halt and that is not the case. I recently gave the car a huge tune up, here's the list
Valve adjustment
Oil and filter change
Cleaned throttle body and IAC
New distributor and cap (Plug wires aren't really in good shape)
New spark plugs
New air filter
Set the timing
New belts
Cleaned injectors
Cleaned battery terminals
I don't know what could cause this problem! The only thing I have come up is the Possibility a TPS (Throttle position sensor) going bad. The only thing that I know of that is wrong with the car is the exhaust manifold has a big crack in it right before the upstream 02 sensor. No doubt this leak is messing with the cars readings of the AFRs. Could this be part of the problem? It is throwing a code for the catalyst system.

I've been checking my oil every morning for a few weeks now because of a worry about it burning off. I check it at the same time each morning, in pretty much the same parking spot, before driving it. Every time I take out the dipstick, wipe it off and put it back in to check. What's weird is that the level seems to fluctuate. Some days it's up over the higher dot. Some days it's down closer to the lower one (though it hasn't been under). Most days it's somewhere closer to the middle between the two. Is it common for it to fluctuate that much on a day to day basis? Is it something I should be worrying about?
In case it matters, it's a 1998 Honda Civic LX.

I have an issue with my 98 honda civic lx, with 197000 mils. Recently I had my Check engine light on. I ignored it for a day. The next day started my car and in the middle of the road it stopped moving, meaning in spite of accelerating it doesn't move. So I stopped at the shoulder, turned off the engine. After a while I started again, the car moved but later on it stopped moving when I was accelerating. The Engine did not turn off during the stall. Couple of weeks back the car was shaking on the front side when I was driving, it felt like the car was about to stop as if it was short of fuel.I changed the spark plug 15000 miles back. Water pump and timing belt was changed 25000 miles back.Car has a highway mileage of 32 mpg.

My 1998 Honda Civic has oil in the radiator. And even stranger, the oil winds up in the overflow coolant reservoir. What is the most likely cause of this?
