1998 Honda Accord with 202k mileage.
Old Thread: See bottom for Update
Pre info: A year ago I was on highway doing about 70+ mph gave the car gas to pass a car and it just died (almost got creamed by 18 wheeler). Problem was distributor cap....replaced.
When distributor cap replaced also had tune up, air filter is clean, not sure about fuel filter? Just recently had a new catalytic converter installed. No major tranny problems though using Lucas Transmission fluid fix which has made tranny drive/shift smoother.
A week ago was on highway and doing about 70+ mph and rpms dropped from 3000 to about 500....scared me based on past experience...gave it a little gas and it came back up. Drove back home on side streets and car drove fine?
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks in advance for responses. Want to get fixed soon gas driving my Jeep Wrangler is killing me
