Stalling!! Help!!
Hi Everyone! First off I would like to say, I really like this group and it has been really helpful.
We have a 99 Ody EX with 116,xxx miles on it. And recently I have had the van stall for no apparent reason on a few different occasions. The first one was during a right hand turn, the dash lights just flashed. The second time it happened I was parked up a hill and the van was leaning to the right. It would turn over and then just die with all of the dash lights on. It did it 3 times before I could go anywhere. The next time it happened I was going 35 mph on a smooth road, went over a small bump in the road, and after I cleared the bump, the dash lights went on and I was waiting for it to die, however it did not since I was cruising at 2000 rpm. The final time it happened was when coasting up a hill to a stop light going 5 mph and all of the lights lit up, it died, and it started right up.
I searched around the group and found that it seems like the ignition switch recall theory. However, the previous owner HAD the recall done in 2002! So is it due for another ignition switch???? And is there any hope that American Honda would help since their recall work failed???
One other quick note: We have the “D” light dims and gets brighter. I have read that it is the green wire coming off the alternator. Is that a hard thing to replace????
Thanks,
Kyle
