Hey people, New here.
I'm having some issues with my 99 Accord v6, Auto. 135,xxx miles.
Recently while sitting at lights and in stopped traffic, my idle will drop and recover. Yesterday it dropped so far the car shut off. I tested this in my drive way and it did it again. When I would leave the car in part though it would still shutter a little but not drop so much to shut it off.
Also when I try to accelerate hard it tends to bog down and act as if it can only accelerate slowly and on and off so the car feels like im tapping the gas on and off instead of one smooth throttle response. This will also happen on the highway while at cruising speeds, and I try to speed up or just change the acceleration it will sputter or bog a little.
After reading some online stuff, I am looking towards clogged egr passages or clogged cat. If it were indeed one of those, how would putting my car in park stop it from idling down and shutting off as opposed to being in drive? Wouldn't it do it in both?
Thanks for the help!
possible clogged injectors maybe?
