my Honda, shuts off when slowing to idle
So I have an '04 Honda accord w/271,000 miles, 5sp manual. Last night, it was drove pretty hard for a bit, then when I approached a traffic light, as soon as the car slowed to idle, it shut off. I originally thought I had stalled it out. So I started it up, then every time I came to a halt, it would shut off again.
I knew it was about 1.5 quarts low on oil (shouldn't have anything to do with it, or should it?), so I picked up 2 quarts at store, and filled it. Google told me to try a fuel system cleaner, so I bought one of these http://www.amazon.com/STP-78568-Complete-System-Cleaner/dp/B004OEVAUW/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1436791226&sr=1-2&keywords=stp+fuel+cleaner Hasn't stalled out since Google said I may have bad gas, and I had filled up earlier in the day at Wawa. Never had problems with their gas before, but I guess there's always a first time. Is there anything I should do, or have a mechanic look at to make sure this problem doesn't appear again? FWIW, I've never had the "fuel injector service" at any shop, thinking its a high profit bull**** service. Maybe it's time? thank |
