Hi, I have heard of the transmission problems that happen in the accords. In mine when I very start to move the car jerks and it seems like the tires are spinning but I‘m not sure if that is what‘s happening. The check engine light is on and the guy at advance auto parts says the EGR valve needs to be cleaned. Also the TCS (traction control system) light comes on occasionally. Keep in mind that my car does need new tires. Does this sound like a bad transmission problem or something minor?
This Site Might Help You. RE: 2001 Honda Accord Coupe EX (V6)? Hi, I have heard of the transmission problems that happen in the accords. In mine when I very start to move the car jerks and it seems like the tires are spinning but I'm not sure if that is what's happening. The check engine light is on and the guy at advance auto parts says the EGR valve.
the V-6 transmissions in 1999-2000 had almost a 100% failure rate. By 2001 they started to get better but there were still some issues through 2003. Only affected the V-6 as the 4 cylinder used a different transmission. as for your problem, the V-6 of that year also had EGR problems that clogged the tubes that the exhaust gas recirculation traveled through. there is a modified 'kit' to replace the EGR and the tube. that sounds like the cause of your hesitation from starts and on the TCS light. what happens with the TCS light is kind of funny from a logical point of view. The way TCS works is that when the car starts to lose traction the TCS system reduces engine power by disabling engine cylinders until the car regains traction. Well, when the engine is running on reduced power, such as when an EGR hangs or when the car has a misfire, the TCS control unit 'thinks' the TCS is engaged and puts the TCS light ON. you don't have a problem with TCS. You probably don't have a transmission problem. you do have an EGR problem if the information you provide is correct. make sure your technician replaces the EGR with the kit. the kit is only available at Honda dealers so your parts store won't have all the new pieces necessary to fix your car permanently. hope that helps
