    I've been having trouble with this one for a while now. The Check Engine Light came on at about 94000 miles, and around 96000 miles the car started idle-ing abnormally. Sometimes the RPMs would be around 0, other times it would be past 1. Around this time when I would drive it it would buck, sometimes violently and shake, when I checked the engine code it said it was the Idle Air Control Valve, I replaced it with a new one and the light and problem stayed. Now the car has gotten worse and when it shifts gears (it's an automatic) the first 3 gears seem to be rough to get into. I have terrible gas mileage with it (about 20 mpg) and it's a pain to drive. Can some one please help me? Haha

    . Disconnect the negative battery cable for 15 seconds, to reset the computer.

    . Test/replace the Ignition Control Module and coil. AutoZone can test these for free.

    . Ensure spark plugs (NGK only), rotor, and distributor cap are in good shape.

    . Check vacuum hoses, PCV valve, and EGR valve.

    . Replace fuel filter.

    . Change automatic transmission fluid, if it hasn't been done in the last 2 years or 24,000 miles.

Where is the MAIN RELAY located?

My Accord won't turn over when the weather is hot or when driving it for period, parking and returning a short time later. (i.e. running into the store for 3 min). I heard it might be my main relay? Never a problem during cold weather.

When I am driving sometimes the car seems to shift to a lower gear. I apply gas but it doesn't seem to do any thing, when I back off the gas it seems to pick up and go. This is an automatic transmission. Thanks
