Hi everyone, my 1990 automatic accord dies basically when slowing/hitting the breaks and when I hit the gas it's almost sorta jumps like it's trying to accelerate but it won't.if I pull over for a second and I try to accelerate it'll work fine till I slow down again.The very first time it happened I was on interstate going about 70 and it did what I described above except the battery light came on.that was the only time the light came on.I appreciate any help!

what's you're rpm when at a stop? do you have any short's or dirty battery cables ? have you tried to pull the code's from ecu ?this was put together by evil_demon_01 . You can also fined all this and more by him in the Common Beginner Technical Info can be found in here. PLEASE READ HERE FIRST

First, is your check engine light on? Does it ever come on?

Does the light work? It should come on briefly when you start the car.

The check engine light does not come on.Originally posted by deevergote View Post
The only thing that comes on is the battery light when I turn the key but it goes away after starting the carComment

does the light come on for a brief second when you first start the car ? if not the bulb could be out and you may have codes . also some states require that that light to work to pass smog .this was put together by evil_demon_01 .

Sounds like a fuel issue to me. I feel like I've had this same issue years ago and I want to say it was the fuel filter? I know I'm shooting from the hip, but it just doesn't sound like wiring issue to me. If I'm wrong, then my second guess is plugs/wires.
If it were grounding issues, you'd have all sorts of symptoms and it wouldn't just arise under deceleration. Any grounding issues I've seen usually raise hell with starting. Usually.
I feel like your battery light coming on "one time" was just a fluke unrelated. I've been known to be wrong occasionally, but it can't hurt to replace the fuel filter.Last edited by Vermonter; 01-31-2016, 12:33 AM.CC2 Vigor.

If the check engine light never comes on, then as Accord problems said, there may be an error code that you are not aware of, and you will be unable to read it if it exists.
If the light never comes on, you have to pull the cluster and change the bulb. Then you can look for an error code. Unless you do that, we can spend weeks naming parts for you to replace. You might replace the right thing eventually, if you don't go broke or do serious damage to the car before that happens. The check engine light should always be the first step in any engine-related diagnosis.

Hmm.. from my experience, I've had tranny issues. Is it an auto? If so, how high does it rev before the battery light comes on? I know that if the trans is slipping then it'll rev high around 6k+ quickly and the light will come on until you slow down and let go of the gas. Highly likely, this is due to the trans leaking and the low pressure cannot allow the trans to work as normal.
If not, then another would be the TPS. But from my experience the battery light doesn't come on. But it'll cause hesitation when you gas quickly for a few seconds before it jumps forward. People say that the CEL would come on when it goes bad, but not in the cases I have seen. I just replace the things and it works again.
It could be a combo of one or none of these things.Comment
