    1998 honda accord starting issues
    I have a 1998 honda accord v6 coupe, just lately it has been acting up. It will start up and then I can feel the revs droping down like it is going to bog out and then ill hit the gas to rev it up before it bogs out and it just dies this will happen 3-5 times before it will actually start it doesn't happen when the car is cold and it only happens some of the time once the car is running it runs perfectly fine I don't know please help

    . Replace spark plugs (NGK only), with the exact ones that came in the car.

    . Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, which affects fuel injector pulse width. The ECT Sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor), whose resistance decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases. It provides a richer mixture when cold, leaner mixture when hot. They become corroded, due to not changing the coolant frequently enough, flood the engine, and waste a tremendous amount of fuel. It should be located under the distributor--it's the sensor with two wires going to it.

    If the problem persists, replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:
