Thought I could make it to 100,000 miles with no out of warranty problems - not so! My 2001 LX 5 speed sedan will not idle - any ideas? I have never took my car in for the POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE recall I received shortly after buying the car , it does mention erratic engine idle as one of the possible problems - does not mention stalling.

Any ideas appreciated!

You're close to 100k already? Damn, what kind of commute do you have? That might be the highest mileage on this site.

it may related to many things...possibly set of new spark plugs, flush the engine oil, clean the fuel injection system, change fuel filter...hope that helps...

I am at 69,000 miles which falls short of the 100,000 mile trouble free goal which I had hoped for. May pull the plugs just to see what they look like.

If your car had a recall, I'm sure you can still get it done for free even though your warranty has expired. And there's a few other threads floating around in this forum about stalling and low idle, worth checking out.

i have about 74,000 miles on my car already. I've gotten all the re-calls done, and I've only had 1 problem that I can remember which was I had to change the timing belt and alternator. Honda helped pay for it, since it's only 2 yrs old.

Yeah - Ronin, you are correct there is no time limit on the recall - I will get that taken care of. Car has started to idle again - at least for the moment. After I already spent the money for new plugs! Have not installed them yet. Hopefully this "glitch" will not occur again. Thanks for the replies!
