Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 200598 Accord LX hesitates after starting
My '98 Accord LX has been hesitating after I start it for a few months. My check engine light was on for a while and when I had regular maint. (~85k miles), they said it was nothing and reset it. The light came back on not long after. Both before and after the service, the car has been hesitating and sometimes stalling when I try to accelerate just after starting the car (in any weather). Once I'm going, no problems. If it matters, I drive ~60 miles, all expressway (60-80 mph), every day. Thanks in advance > My '98 Accord LX has been hesitating after I start it for a few months.

TIt sounds like a good symptom of a timing belt being out a tooth. You've checked your coolant levels, etc? You need to look on your work order and find out what the code was. Report back. Isn't your timing belt getting close to being 'old'? 'Curly' > My '98 Accord LX has been hesitating after I start it for a few months.

Thanks in advance youll need to find out what the code is its giving off, and figure out the best way to troubleshoot and fix it. i cant really blame the dealer for resetting it and sending you on your way, but this time around they need to do something. Similar systems in my 98 LX turned out to be a failing catalytic converter, which was just on the right side of warranty coverage at the time. > My '98 Accord LX has been hesitating after I start it for a few months.
