About 3 weeks ago I went to start up my 2009 Honda Civic Sedan lx and lights came on and everything but wouldn't start. On the third time trying to start it none of the lights came on, so I changed the battery. I tried starting it with the new battery, all lights came on perfectly, but it wouldn't turn over. I changed the starter and the car ran fine with no problems for maybe 2 weeks. This morning I was driving down the road when the check engine light came on and the engine suddenly started to rev up uncontrollably. I was able to brake but it was very hard to do because the engine kept revving. Without my foot on the brake the car was going 30 something mph, when I braked and got below 15 I felt a hard downshift. Has anyone had these simliar problems or know what might have cause this kind of behavior? 3 Answers

Check engine light came on approx 1 month ago. As driving on highway approx 65 mph, car cut out like it was going to die - then kicked back in and drove normally. Filled tank with premium / tightened cap properly. Light went off - no further problem until yesterday / today. Yesterday with a little less than 1/4 tank, light came on with slight cut out at acceleration. Filled up with premium, tightend cap properly. Light went off later in the day. This morning - driving down highway at approx 70 mph (not accelerating) - light came on again, engine cut out significantly as if car would die. Decelerated - to about 60 - drove okay until in stop and go traffic & traffic lights - then cut out each time accelerated. Any idea?? Catalytic converter, fuel injector, need fuel "cleaner" like stp?? Thanks!! 2 Answers

2015 Jeep Compass with 42,000 Miles. A month ago I was driving on the highway and a lightening bolt came on the dashboard. The Jeep had power to the radio and call but I was pushing the gas and nothing. The bolt flashed for 4 seconds went off and then it drove fine. Last week I was driving and the lightening bolt, check engine light, and traction control came on. The Jeep begin to putt, the radio and all was wokring but it lost gas. I was pressing the gas and nothing, pulled the Jeep over took the key out waited a few seconds and put the key back in and it worked. The check engine light remained on, parked at my house. Came back out about an hour later put the key in and turned it over and all the lights were off and the Jeep has since been running fine. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am pretty stumped. Thank you!! 6 Answers
