problem #2

Prelude 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
I have been having more problems with my engine stalling suddenly. The past few times, I was on the highway in busy rush hour traffic. The heater, radio, and other electrical components would continue to work but the tachometer would just drop to zero. Twice, I had to put the car in neutral, turn the car back on, and put it back in drive, all while on the highway.

Check engine light comes on and off since 70,000 miles. Despite passing E-check I see that this a frequent problem with other Honda models.
