Hi,

I have Honda Accord SE 2000 Sedan. The total mileage on this right now is 73885. Bought it in Jan 2000.

I have done all maintenances not missing a single one.

For the past 1 week, whenever I start my car, I was feeling a light jump start during D4 normal driving. From today, the jump has increased to 4-5 times on every start (when I give gas, the sound of the engine is increasing but the vechile is jumping 4-5 times and also moves slowly). After jumping 5 times, the car runs OK. Also, I'm seeing a yellow indicator turning on from today with a word "CHECK" inside it (don't know what the indicator mean) in the dashboard (below the rpm section on my dashboard). Changing to D3/D2 does no help.

Anonyingly, I misplaced my owner's manual and still searching for it.
I did my oil change @72, 000 miles and the Honda service center (my dealer) told me that I'm due for a major service @75,000 miles.

I scared to stop and start but can't avoid it in lights, my destination etc...

Any answers to what exactly is this is greatly appreciated.

Rgds,

accord2000

The light means check engine. I don't know what the problem is, but something is definitely wrong. My help ends there unfortunately, others on the board can help you out more. But the dealer will be best :yes:

Having the codes pulled that are triggering the "check engine" light should aim you in the direction of the needed repair.

AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts or some other discount auto parts store will usually pull the codes for free. You can post them here for additional help.
