89 Accord standard tranny "lurching" and hesitating
Hello, my 89 Accord standard has a "lurching" problem; I was driving
along pulling the very smallest UHaul trailer (approved for my model car) when it just started this awful "slipping/hesitating" thing, almost like it was the fuel pump/filter, but not sure- seems like it would do it all the time if it were one of those (when I'm not pulling a trailer)....any experience/ideas? Thanks much.... |

Thanks much.... does that trailer have an hydraulic brake? if so, it could be that the brake's piston damper is defective. |
