Rpm hand jumps on idle, car accelerates slowly and jolts, when put in reverse is doesn't always move until I go forward in drive first

Asked by Sarahha86 Sep 02, 2018 at 01:24 AM about the 1986 Honda Accord LXi

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just had my fuel pump and injector replaced and I
was hoping it would take care of some of the
problems. I'm not sure if there could be multiple
causes for these problems? I'm planning on taking
it in soon because my valves are leaking. Would
this cause any of these symptoms?

Scan for fault codes. That jumpy tachometer makes me think crankshaft position sensor or code P0320. Leaky valves is the end of the line but run it until it quits. That diagnosis has to proven with a compression test. Somebody is just guessing. So start with a scan.

Hi, My 2005 Honda Accord has died twice in the last week for no reason. Last Monday while going to leave work it wouldn't start and I didn't leave anything on, I had a colleague jump it (battery is only 4 months old by the way) and was able to drive normally until yesterday when I got in my car and again it wouldn't start. This time I got out and while looking for a friend to jump my car I got in and for some reason it just started normally and all the electronics turned back on. I will mention I was involved in an accident 3 weeks prior (Mostly rear damage) and also had recently had a new stereo installed. 1 Answer
