Accord

  • 230,000 miles
One day just like that I was driving home from work and I came to a red light so after coming to a complete stop the light turned green my car was on in drive and I accelerated and the car just wouldn't move. Got it towed and I got check engine light codes and it was P0401 and P0108 so I cleaned the egr valve and bought a new map sensor and installed it. The car had a new battery, the transmission oil was full and with no visible black color or smell, the car started but would not get into gear and just wouldn't move. Called a specialist mechanic and he brought his tool to check the whole computer part of the car wich is the next best thing to towing it to a transmission shop, the result came back inconclusive with almost certain transmission failure. After corona a lost of vehicle and job I am judt about to sell it as is cut my losses and maybe buy a bicycle for now. I just need to leave about one hour before work and buy a good axe body shower spray and attach life ones again.
