Accord Vtec, 05
We have a 2005 Honda Accord Vtec Executive A, Petrol, 2354cc. Automatic.

It has started to occasionally rev quite high when stationary such that I can't get it in reverse. Sometimes it does that but at other times is ok.

Any idea what that could be??
 
Almost certain to be throttle related.Dirty butterfly,air leak,sticking throttle cable/mechanism and or intake sensor.Just a case of stripping it down and checking everything clean and working correctly.

Thanks. I'll have a look.
 
Oh check small hoses on and around intake manifold.Theres 2 i think with one being a vaccum hose....check closely for cracks/splits and make sure connected properly.You will need to remove small engine cover (2x10mm nuts) good luck.
 
Thanks. I've just had a corrected update on the issue which complicates things and is a little different. I think I'll have to do a new post as a result and I'm hoping that's ok.
