Listen, I just bought this car. supposed to have only104000 miles on it. That is what was on the odometer. But the guy wasn't smart enough to pull the service sticker off the window. It showed next oil change (194000) miles. Hmmm. well nothing i can do about that, but the car is in awesome shape. For real, it drives and appears to only have very few miles. Anyway, one week later i shear the harmonic balancer bolt right off. So, i have them replace the bolt. While they were at it, (and i brought to there attention about the actual mileage). They changed the timing belt, water pump, radiator,thermostat,valve cover gasket and seals, head gasket, intake and exhaust gasket,and alternator. ( I raised some hell to get this done) Well, now it's idling like sh*t, shuts off some times. and act's like it is lacking power. Im not an idiot about all this. Im real familiar with Honda's, but this is stumping me. I checked the idle control valve. tps,played with the throttle linkage. I am frustrated and tired of this problem. Any ideas? Or should i just put my seat belt on and see how fast i can run into a wall? Because lately, i am not to fond of the reliability factor of the Honda's. well that is all i have to bitch about right now. thanks

Turns over, but sometimes won't start for 5 minutes or longer, can last up to several hours. Sometimes when it does start, the "D" on the gearshift blinks, and the car will not accelerate unless the gas pedal is pushed to the floor, and then goes very slowly. Has happened too many times to count in the past year.
