Why won’t my Honda Accord go past 3,000 RPM?

I have a pretty old Honda Accord that's been passed around my family for years and I’ve noticed that the car won’t go past 3,000 RPM. Why won’t my Honda Accord go past 3,000 RPM?

There are lots of potential reasons why your
Honda Accord
won’t go past 3,000 RPM - most of them having to do with the mixing of fuel and air in your engine.
The best thing you can do is bring the car to a mechanic to have the issue properly diagnosed and addressed. Some of the most common causes include:
  • Engine misfire
  • Vacuum leak
  • Air control valve
Bringing your car to the mechanic can be nerve-wracking when you aren’t sure what the problem is or what the bill might look like. If you’re concerned about the cost, check out the
