I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE A 1992 HONDA ACCORD WITH 166K MILES. AT THE TIME, I WAS PROBABLY AT ABOUT 115K MILES. MY CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND I TAKE CAR OF THE MAINTENENCE AS SUGGESTED. HOWEVER, I'VE CHANGED OUT THE IGNITER ON THE ENGINE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS 3 TIMES. LAST TIME WAS IN DECEMBER OF 04. I STARTED RECEIVING THE SAME SYPTOMS NOW, AND FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO GIVE OUT AGAIN. THE TACHOMETER STARTS SKIPPING AND I NOTICE WEIRD ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TRIED MANY THINGS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION BESIDES JUST REPLACING IT, BUT AFTER A WHILE THE PROBLEMS COMES BACK. I'VE READ SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM THAT CAUSE EXTREME HAZARDS AND UNWANTED BURDENS. *AK
