I gave my folk's 1998 Accord LX 4 banger to a friend after my Dad passed away a year ago.
Cindy lives near Sacremento, about 130 miles away. She's a single Mom and a long time friend.
We bought it new, it has about 105K; it had 85K when she got the car.
I always serviced it. New NGK plugs, air filter and oil 4 months ago. Never had a single issue with this car.
Prior to giving her the car, I replaced the original cap and rotor (Honda parts) and installed NGK wires.
Low idle and stalling recently started. This is intermittent. I have not personally experienced this problem.
I am thinking Idle Air Control unit, not sure. I think the IAC is difficult to get to.
I will check for codes as well; maybe something stored.
Is there a, IAC test?
Your thoughts?
Your advice is appreciated.
