ok i have a 95 honda accord ex with a 2.2 vtec 4 cylinder engine. it is also a auto trans and 4 door. i have a problem that when i drive it for around 10-15 minutes it just dies i have now replaced

the main relay
the igntion switch
oxygen sensor
cap and rotor

and i am still having this problem

please HELP

 

Sounds like a problem with the coil or the ignition control module. Test both of them when the car acts up. Test them out, don't throw parts at the car.

 

sounds like your vtec fluid is low

 

r u serious?

 

i replaced the dizzy which has the icm in it which i though was the problem and now i dont have the problem anymore and it drives better.

 

yeah. vtec fluid levels have been known to be the main cause of a car not starting properly or stalling or dying in the middle of the drive. it's one of the downsides of owning a Honda with a VTEC engine, you need to change one more fluid. but it's worth it. from what i hear, VTEC is Honda's patented turbocharger, unlike turbos that use regular motor oil, VTEC uses VTEC fluid.
the V6 uses 20W10 and the I4 usually uses 10W60

 

and someone will end up trying this some day.

 

it's true, i had my car dyno'd after i replaced my VTEC fluid.
this dyno sheet says it all fellas.
this is no B.S.
the shop i went to has a state-of-the-art live feed dynonameter.
it gave me a print-out but i asked for a cd too.

 

no more comments. i'm not even gonna get into it.

 

Which fluid is better? a vtec fluid or a synthetic??
