P Codes 97 Accord
I got myself a girlfriend... so you know what that means! ... i get
the girl's car problems. *sigh* well, here's the deal: Check engine light's on: took it to Autozone and i get the codes: P0401 - Insufficient flow in the Exhaust Gas Recirculaton (EGR) system - i think i've run across this before. On our 91 Lincoln Continental, there was a hose that was held by a metal loop, and the oxidation (high road salt area here) caused the metal to constrict the air flow. may be the same issue... but probably not. Any other ideas? P0740 - A Malfunction exists in the electricalcircuit for the torque converter clutch - As far as i've read, this code is the "kiss of death" for the honda transmission. However, it only has 133k miles and the tranny shifts a little rough... This is my main concern. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in Advance!! ~Angelo |

P0401 is a common problem. The egr port is carboned up. They need cleaned
out and the egr valve cleaned or replaced. Honda has extended warranty on some of these to 80k but it won't help you. V6? Honda has had lots of problems with their automatic transmission. Sounds like yours is on the way out. P740 is the lockup control system. At 133k you probably won't get any help from Honda but you could always try.... > wrote in message oups.com... >I got myself a girlfriend... so you know what that means! ... i get > the girl's car problems. *sigh* > > well, here's the deal: > Check engine light's on: took it to Autozone and i get the codes: > > P0401 - Insufficient flow in the Exhaust Gas Recirculaton (EGR) system > - i think i've run across this before.

And I don't think it applied to the '97. Just the '98-'02 I believe. > V6? Honda has had lots of problems with their automatic transmission. > Sounds like yours is on the way out.

It's possible that the fluid is overdue for changing and/or the existing fluid is not Honda fluid. |
