Help My Car Broke

[onebad90accord]

Symptoms: When you put in the key and start it then let go of the key it dies! Also I had to override the tranny with the key option because it wouldn't change gears with out it!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a feeling you need a new shifter cable for the tranny part. Did u have the check engine coming on before all this started ?

[azn_nite_ryder]

you have to be a lil bt more specific on how it dies... does it studder then die??? or does it just cut off??
it could be many things... try to explain a lil more and we could try to help out..... if you ask me.. sounds like your air / fuel thingy just needs adjusting....

[onebad90accord]

i also think it could be the air fuel thing but i did have a check engine ligh that came on about 6 months ago but it just went off after a couple of days...so i didnt think nothing of it and just drove, its funny that you said the tranny, my car is an automatic and i sometimes shut the car off and cant take the keys out because it dosent register that it is in part until i pump the brakes and move the shifter thing around, yah but the car will stay on as long as i hold the key in the start position but right when i let go of the key it just dies off and when i hold the key in the start position it will stay running but it will make a squelling noise and also when i put it in the acc thing nothing works but the stereo and the windows wont roll up....:mad: :mad:

sounds like an ignition problem, like it is losing connection after you move the key back
does it keep running because you are grinding the starter up, becuase I suggest against that highly

I'm not sure about the ignition problems, but I had the same issue with the auto shifter on my car. It was caused by a blown fuse, the HORN-STOP fuse to be specific.

I'll definetly post up notices a few weeks before our major events. We're planning some awesome stuff this year, and it'd be great to finally meet some of the non-local Accord enthusiasts I've seen on the Honda boards for so long! You can also go check our our website for dates and times... I promise we'll do a better job distinguishing between the BIG meets and the "10 guys standing around in the Dave and Buster's parking lot" meets.
