Hi,

We just returned from a very long road trip - Toronto area to Florida. We put over 6000 kms on Fireball and all was well. She was great the whole way there and back. Aside from the ticking, which we still haven't gotten to the bottom of, she ran just fine.

However, we once had a Honda Accord and while driving home from Florida we had a similar problem as the one you are describing, when we tried to give it gas it started bucking wildly. We pulled off the interstate, and after a day in a hotel and a costly tow, we were told it was the fuel pump (on a new car as well) and we had put in bad gas. We are now very careful where we buy gas.

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Good luck.

 

Thats what the first dealer told us. they said it was bad gas and it had made the computer "Hick-up".. i almost spit my soda all over the guy because i had never heard of that and i have been a mechanic for over 10 years... we havent had any problems since that trip but we are going to try to make it up to the g2g next year in MO so i guess we will have to get her out on the highway and see what she does, thank so much for the input!
