2005 honda accord running a little rough
I bought a 2005 honda accord exl 4 cylinder a month ago straight from
the dealer. I've noticed that the engine is running just a tiny bit rough, but I don't know if this is normal or not. I don't want to take it to the dealer to fix it, because I don't really trust them to tell me if that's a normal thing or not. If it doesn't lead to problems later down the line, then I can live with it, but is it something I should be concerned about? If so, is there a place I can take it to to give me an unbiased analysis? |

You couldn't even feel the engine running. Went out and bought a brand new 92 Civic Si, made in Canada. I said to myself, "why can I feel this brand new car shaking at idle, when I can't feel the old car doing it at all?" Man, that bugged me. That being said: 137K miles later, that 92 Civic Si is still running very strong, is on its original clutch (those weren't all gentle miles, trust me), and looks showroom shiny. My nephew has had it for a couple years now. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, but it's certainly a legitimate question. |

They build these engines so tight, they tend to get smoother after
break-in. |

Re: 2005 honda accord running a little rough
Thanks to both of you. How long should I wait to see if the problem
goes away? It's still there after 2,000 miles. I did not mention that the car had over 500 miles on it when I purchased it; is this normal, and is it possible someone could have damaged the engine during this time period? It's really starting to bother me, because I recently drove 2 other honda accords (2004 and 2003) because they belonged to my relatives. They had 10,000 and 43,000 miles respectively, and those cars felt great (little or no engine flutter). |
