Honda Car Forum

Hi,

I have an Accord 98 Auto 2.3L / 4Cyl. Just about a few days ago, i
noticed this problem. On acceleration , and then applying my brakes a
mini power flutter takes place while driving. As soon as i hit the
brakes , the speedometer dial drops and comes back up and my car stereo
stops playing and starts again. This happens for probably a second. The
car, however drives just fine and is unaffected by this sudden power
drop (atleast ,thats what it seems like).

Any diagnosis / help would be greatly appreciated before i take it to
for servicing. Just trying to make sure that i'm not taken for a ride.

Thanks in Advance

It sounds like you've got a loose battery cable or ground connection. It
cranks well, or have you had to 'boost' it lately? When was the battery
replaced?

'Curly'

I replaced the battery with a brand new one about 2 months ago. And the
car starts well , havent needed to boost it since the replacement.
I wonder if its a loose connection somewhere though but i wouldnt know
what to check.

Also, this problem occurs randomly and not everytime.

Thanks for your reply. Hope I can find a solution
