it may be the motor on its way out kane

[4CYLPOWER92]

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that too. Anyways it would be hard to test it since it only happens sporadic. I'm avoiding using that window for now since it would suck to park and not be able to put it back up. Time for a trip to the junk yard.

check the connectors as well to make sure they are making good contact, since this is not always happening it may be a loose connection.

I'd say bad motor.

take your door panel off, when it happens again take a 12volt battery to the motor and see what happens. my passenger rear does that but in my case the switch is bad

same here dude i still have a code 12, Im thinkin the only other option is clean my intake manifold ie.. egr ports or change my ecu

what egr are you running? Accord or Prelude?

what egr are you running? Accord or Prelude?

the accord one, just after I replaced the entire egr system it worked fine for like 2 weeks then all of a sudden it just boggs and cel came on , the onlt thing I can think of is to clean the egr ports, or the ecu

it boggs in the morning and when i go 75-100 throttle, from a stop, and cel 12, everything is new tune up wise time was dead on when I put the motor in as of what I remember,have not done a valve adj. since I dont here any abnormal nosies, 91 , or 101 race gas (when I have extra cash)

[jhondayaaj]

no abnormal noise could mean tight valves. you should do a valve adj. at least you would get that out of the way. code 12 is egr??
