Default Please Help!

ok, i was going to go somewhere in the s2k, i turned the car on, put it in reverse, and the car started to shake and felt like it wanted to die. I put the car in first gear, as i began to slow in first the car turned off. this repeatedly happened so i went back home, turned the car off and popped the hood to see if i could spot anything out of the ordinary, after not noticing anything except for a wierd smell(not clutch), i turned the car back on, this time the check engine light came on and the car had a wierd idle. i took the car out and it wouldn't go past 3000rpm's, as soon as it got to 3000 rpm's it would start to buck. this time when i would come to a stop, the car wouldn't turn off, but it did idle wierd. I really don't know what the problem is, if anyone has any idea what it is please help me out. so all you honda geniuses out there, chime in your knowledge please.

Thanks, Joe

try tapping the MAP and wiggling the wires. Run the ECU and check the codes.

Go to the nearest autozone and have them pull the code for free. I have an OBDII reader but I don't know if you are close to the high desert or not. If so, I might be able to swing by if my work/school schedule permits.

go to auto zone they will loan you the OBII reader, it plugs under the dash, turn the key, and push read codes. Take that code back to autozone, and they will tell you what it is. Or take your car to the Devil(dealer) and pay with your soul(alot).

Take it to a Mechanic!
Better yet take it to the FREAKING Dealership!!!! You've got an 04, you should have warranty?

You're gonna get 20 different answers from non certified mechanics here...

Try the TECH section, those dudes actually fix cars.

Are you sure you don't want to take in and Get it Fixed Correctly?

Trying doing a search on your "error code 1129" in the query box on s2ki.com

you might find something..
