I appreciate you posting this! I came out of the gym on a Sunday morning, got in the car, turned the key and it would immediately turn off. It had never done this before so I had no time to prepare. My immediate thought was, not today! 😕 After trying about 10 more times to turn it on, I went on youtube to see if this was common, and I found this video. After watching it I figured, why not?! Let's give it a try. Luckily my car turned on after a few more tries, so I drove around to a couple AutoZones, got what I needed (kept car on) went back home and after a total of about 1 1/2 hours the car was good to go! (And im no car guy) Engine light that had appeared was also gone! Sooooooooooooo, thank you for this because it saved me LOTS of time, worrying, and MULA! Definitely subscribing!
This is an awesome comment. I'm thankful this video was helpful to address your issue.💯
Hello does your car still work good from what you did? Can you please give us an update?
One thing you got to make sure of is that your intake is not leaking anywhere behind the mass airflow sensor or the MAAP sensor because that’s exactly what caused my issue caused the two lien condition as well which intern made it have gas and then start go to about 2000 RPMs and then immediately drop and diewould be the first thing to check any vacuum leaks of any kind
You guys just saved me about $120.00 for a tow truck. Quick fix and on my way. Thanks.
I got mine started after sitting for about 10 minutes trying to start it up every 30 seconds
THANK YOU! Had this exact problem and did not find anything else on the internet that identified the issue until I saw this video. Our Accord is over 160,000 miles so guess it is not surprising the carburetor/throttle body needed cleaning. Saved us a tow and who knows how much $$$.
Thanks! Was going to tow to a shop and then found this video. Exactly what the problem was

My Ford Mondeo would start but shut off 3 seconds later. Did all this (except replace filter), and it started normal. Cheers gentlemen. Appreciate yas
I was going to take my car to the dealer for repair for this code but after seeing your video it motivated me to check first. so; I did and found a peace of plastic stuck in the damper. Thanks guys.
That's excellent news to hear. I am glad this video helped resolved your issue to get your car back on the road.
a $20 obd scan tool works wonders
Thanks for this video, just saved me to get home from post office 👍
No problem, appreciate the comment.
That is what I did before watching this video and yes it did work, before it was stalling at stop signs
I notice that this also happens when I leave my car sitting there so it’s a little maintenance cleaning before pulling into the streets for sure. Thanks for the video!
Same problem.. thanks for the great tip. I’m gonna try this. My Honda shuts right off.. just out of the blue no other symptoms leading up to this
No problem, hopefully that helps. I would also inspect your M.A.F. sensor incase it's got some dust build up.
What’s the M.A.F?
Main air flow ?
You guys seem like some sweet guys. Thanks for the video, it was helpful.
You are welcomed and thank you for the comment.
Thank you for the video. My Honda Accord did the same thing and the comment about the starter over cranking to start was exactly what mine had been doing. I removed the air duct and cleaned out the throttle which was sticking and now my Accord runs great. One way to open the throttle is to turn the key to the On position and press on the gas peddle. At first it didn't open so I put some cleaner on it and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then tried to wiggle it. Then I tried it again and the throttle opened and I was able to clean it without having to use a screwdriver. Again thanks for the video it saved me a ton of time and quite a bit of money. All I had to do was buy the cleaner and an hour or so of my time. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you very much Matt for your response and recommendation. This will indeed be vital to others whom are experiencing this issue.
Appreciate it brotha!
Helps to have a second person help by stepping on the gas pedal !
I never thought of using a toothbrush. That's a genius idea
Yeah it works great and is not that rough on the surface of the throttle body.
I just had this same problem with my 2008 Honda Accord. It would start, but then immediately die. After checking relays, cleaning intake etc. everything was good, but still same result. Start, then immediately die. Scouring more videos on youtube brought me to one thread that lit a spark in my head. The battery on my key fob had quit earlier and so I decided to pull it out. After getting a new BATTERY FOR THE KEY FOB, it started and runs great like before. That's all it was, the lack of battery in the key fob sets off the security system to shut down. IHTH someone!!
Saved me time and money. Thank you.
No problem, appreciate the comment.
I’m having the same issue my car start perfectly Normal then shuts off. I have no check engine light codes tho so I’m truly lost on what it is … I truly think this method is worth a shot before I go give some mechanic some money
Opps you should not used any metal to open the metal thing butterfly of the throttle body you damaging the throttle body..instead someone go inside the car and press the pedal..
Don’t open your throttle body if it’s electronic, you have more of a chance to mess up the calibration
As previously mentioned, it's always best to clean a electronic throttle body by having someone press the gas pedal while the vehicle is off.
However in our situation, the original throttle body was going to be replaced/trashed so there is no need for safety concerns.
Bro u save me I had same problem at work the car wouldn’t start all of sudden I clean filter intill I can get to auto parts store to replace the car start it thanx a lot for video help a lot
Glad I could help💯
Thank you! Same situation happened to me yesterday. Car is all fixed thanks your video!
You're welcome!
Thanks bro u helped me alot just bought a 08 accord coupe drove it home parked it then went back to turn it on it would start then die this gives me hope its something simple ... thought i just wasted 2 grand 😂
Lol, hopefully your issue was a simple problem to resolve.
Wat was the problem
My light went awY finally
After replacing the alternator
I see the use of carburetor cleaner and a premium long handle toothbrush works well together.
Yes, you can also use the carb cleaner as a quick way to check vacuum leaks.
2000 Celica same problems and this worked thanks.
That's great! news I'm glad that this video was able to help you issue Fred.
Nice stuff!
Just uploaded a video on my channel showing the code and starting issue
I was going to do this myself but had to do other services on it so let my local mechanic handle cleaning this. Havent had a code since
Good deal brotha.
Should had a shop vac and had it on as u scrub that way it sucks out of the throttle body might sound crazy but works great
I know exactly what your referring too, perfect for keeping the junk from falling inside.💯
Love my people we put a flair on everything lol. I watched 4 videos before this one this fix led my problem and I enjoyed the vid. "No Kanye" lol.
LOL, much appreciated.
Thanks for this vid, helped me out. Man thank you
Just got a p2101 on my 14 accord. Gunna try cleaning everything out first. I'll keep yall updated
Great that this was live. AND a resolution! I have been having the same symptoms: starts fine, cuts out (Opel Tigra Twintop 2005, Corsa Ecotec 1.4) Just tried another tip and have a great improvement (not total like yours). Unplugged te MAF, it 'ran' for a whole 30+ seconds (if you can imagine b Brandon running!). All warning lights out. So I guess it's beyond just cleaning (and auto shop here in France never heard of MAF spray) so will check prices. Next I'll get my carb cleaner out. And tooth brush. Thank you fellows! Jolly good show.
My car turns on and also turns off.... but on the third try it turns on and drives fine ... what could be the problem?
There are a number of things that can contribute to this. If you have a check engine light on, your best shot would be to get a ODB2 tool to retrieve the code and then provide the code to me for recommendations.
But if you do not have a check engine light on, then you will have to go through the process of elimination which is start, air, fuel and compression. But I would believe compression is not an issue since you stated the car will run on the 3rd try.
So part of me wants to say, you could have a dirty PCV value, mass air flow sensor and dirty fuel filter. Clean the MAF sensor and you might as well replace your PCV value too (especially if it's filled with a lot of combustion). Then see how the car starts.
I'm not surprised that the air filter is so dirty after seeing the engine is no different 😫😫
Yeah when you drive down dirty roads, you'll engine bay will eventually get dirty too.
Any idea what’s going on with my 06 Honda Civic hybrid before I had a knocking in my engine which eventually led to me getting the engine replaced after a long process of taking things off my engine to put on the new engine finally got the car to start then they said it would be the fuel pump since it wouldn’t stay started and replaced the hybrid battery since I already knew it was bad I am still having a light on for the battery and it still won’t stay started help
My friends car is 2014 Honda Accord. When she has less than a half tank of gas her car gets hard to start and won’t start when closer to empty. It just clicks like a low battery. She has a good new battery and still does it. When the tank is full it doesn’t act up in any way. No codes showing. Any ideas?
Leave the car keys in pre ignition for 20 minutes
Does this problem cause smoking from the car if the throttle is dirty?
My 2015 just had this happen today when I tried to leave the gym gonna try this hope it works
Good deal, hopefully this video will help you get your car back on the road.
@@AWordFromMrJones it worked thanks fellas. Clear and concise gonna check
@@Xqvance Excellent, glad this video was able to help you.
@@Xqvance did you get a code when it happened?
@@WavyFBaby Like my original post said this happened to me right when I was leaving the gym I was trying to avoid a tow and such. My car was doing exactly what the video described starting then immediately stalling. I have tools I’m a mechanic by trade I took the intake apart and it was gunked up and stuck unjammed it then drove it home. Then I got the carb cleaner but I never checked the code the check engine light went away so I assume it was the same code. Hope this helps
Does this code cause your headlights to blow?
There are other factors that can contribute to headlights issues such as bulb age, defective bulb in general or defective ballast if it's a HID/LED lighting system.
How often after your bulbs blowing and do you have anything connected to the headlight such as lighting equipment?
If your replacing the bulb 1 to 2 times a year, that might be an "cheap" bulb but I don't say cheap to say that but in the manner that not ALL bulbs are made as they once was. So you might have to try another brand and see if that helps.
Also I once had an issue where my Tundra would blow out my turning signal lights 3 times a year which I found it to be the "socket" that was causing the issue.
I got a video on this here:
ruclips.net/video/kHBy-dR3Q10/видео.html
@@AWordFromMrJones
But both high and low headlights, I change the reg. Headlights 2 weeks ago. Now both is gone. Or can it be a fuses? Or electrical?
Little back info: I have a 2012 Honda Accord v6. I have the P2101 code - Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Motot Range/Performance, also ABS 66-13 - Pruessure Sensor Malfunction and Anti-lock Brake system 38-11- ABS Solenoid Valve Malfunction. 2 weeks ago my battery light came on and check engine, my car felt as if it was going to cut off but didn't more of a slow running feeling. My right side mirror started making a clicking sound and was moving down on its own. In the past it happened three times before randomly weeks apart and i had a someone check it and they felt it was a bad alternator. When it happened 2 wks ago, I took it to autozone did a battery test, test alternator and determined I needed a new battery cause it fail. That day was the first time it blow my headlights, now a day ago it did the same thing again but now blow both along with the same things happen. But my turning signal light still work. I took it back to autozone they test it and everything pass, battery, alternator and starter. ABS fail and Emission Ready was a NO 😒 on the fix check finder by innova. The guy at autozone thinks it might be electric now. So I don't know? Any thoughts? Idea? Does the ABS have anything to do with it? One person saying alternator, now someone saying electrical.
This is what my car is doing no lights on or anything
Update so this is what was wrong with my car I just needed a new air filter
Excellent, love when it's a simple issue. I would also make time to clean the throttle body to ensure that the engine is getting proper airflow.
Electronic will suffice, electronical is ghetto .=)
Lol either one is good with me. My videos are very much non-professional. I save the business man mentality for the corporate industry".
My RUclips videos are more so chill/relaxed.
YA DIG PLAYA!
@@AWordFromMrJones I stand corrected then ma brotha =)
What tools are needed to open the piece before the that part your actually cleaning
Recommended way is to let the car open the throttle plate. Grab a baseball bat or metal pipe and press the pipe against the gas pedal (car engine off but the ignition is powered on). You can use the driver seat to keep the gas pedal down.
This will allow the car to peacefully open the throttle plate to clean. Do note, after you clean the throttle the car might take a few tries to start during the ECU relearn period. Many cases, the car will start fine on the first attempt after cleaning.
Hope this helps.
Electronical??? That sounds extremely complexable. Seems like it can cause some confusionation.
This process certainly addressed this issue resolved. Thanks
I have a question
My car does something (sometimes when I step on brake and press start button it makes scratch sound , I have to start a couple of times for it to start , it’s been like this for a year now ) and I do not know if it’s the same problem
Can you tell me what the possible problem is and how to go about fixing it and if I should go to Honda to get it fixed or local auto mechanic? Thank you
I'm 99% sure that your "starter" is on the way out the door. Many times when the starter is about to fail, it will jump gears/teeth which will produce this scratch/grind sound. Sometimes you have to cycle the key for the starter to eventually to catch the gears.
When it comes to choosing who to do the work, it honestly boils down on "who you trust" and your "budget". Personally I would call both places over the phone to identify who has the best price and best timing to get your vehicle fixed. There are some mobile mechanics that will come out to your location too. If your not comfortable with someone coming to your place you can also try meeting the mobile mechanic at a friends or family member resident.
BTW: If you want to upload a video on RUclips of you starting your car, I can confirm that the noise is indeed the starter.
Hope this helps.
Starter or the relay. Check starter first
Lost it at the Kanye 😂😂
Yeezy baby! 😆😄 but hopefully this video was helpful.
My car can't make a quickstop .... If I go for a quick liquor store and come back within 2 min and start engine..... It will start but 1 sec later it shut down itself. I had to wait 7 to 10 min before it goes normal again. The sound it makes if I start the engine too fast it will sound like bloop bloop before shut down itself. I replaced spark plugs. Wires and coils. PVC and still same.
Hmm, bloop bloop before starting... Can you take a video and upload it to RUclips? What type of car BTW.
@@AWordFromMrJones bloop bloop after it start then shut down. It's a 2005 sonata. My phone ran out of storage to take video if it.
Good video and edit homies
Much appreciated.
👍🏾 nice thx for sharing
please help my honda accord 2006 has problem; while driving at night my dashboard with the rpm and speedometer, headlights, radio turning on and off repeatedly for 2 to 3 seconds eratically especially when i hit pot hole.
could it be bad ELD?
I already checked the alternator and battery and its all good.
Checked the grounds also and its fine.
Please help!!!
thanks
Honestly, it sounds like it's an electric issue which as you know the first thing would be to check the battery and alternator which you mentioned had already checked.
I honestly would recheck them because if your noticing this issue when hitting a pothole, it sounds like something is loose or not grounded correctly. Disconnect the battery terminals and visually inspect for damage wires and terminals as cracked terminals can cause this issue too. Do the same for your alternator wire while the battery is disconnected.
Then inspect your fuses to ensure they are not blown nor corroded. Next check your front well fenders to identify if any wiring by the wheel wells are not damaged. It's likely you have a bad ground which is grounding else where. Or bad fuse.
Honda Accords also have a Electronic Load Detector (ELD) fuse which run in conjunction with the alternator fuse (should be connected together). So I would inspect the ELD for corrosion, damage or if it's loose.
@@AWordFromMrJones thanks for the advice i would definitely do that. great help 👍
Alternator I would say
I have changed the altinator my battery and cleaned throttle still happening idk wat else to do
Check fuel pressure or even if you’re car has a fuel filter on some models
I need major help! My car starts but then just dies on me, I didn’t have a check engine light on. My friend came and scanned my car and it read P0455 and P1421.. from the research I’ve done I feel like I have a clogged fuel filter but I’m not sure. Just anxious waiting to see my mechanic
The check engine codes you provided are more geared towards a faulty charcoal vapor canister. These accords also have a canister purge solenoid which could also go bad and cause that error code. The solenoid is usually near the throttle body and the canister is near the fuel pump under the car.
A bad fuel filter will make your car stall, a bad fuel pump will eventually cause your car to not start. For the time being, you can simply confirm you have a clean air filter and that your mass air flow sensor is working by disconnecting the wire harness and then start the car. If it starts up rough but runs, then the mass air flow sensor may need to be cleaned/replaced. If the car does not start at tall, then there is another underlying issue.
Your doing well by having a mechanic take a look.
@@AWordFromMrJones thank you, my car cranks it just stalls on me right after and it won’t move. I’m hoping it’s an easy fix, I don’t really have the funds rn to take car of a bigger issue
@@Igobyalice What happened?? Did you get her fixed??
@@alljerseysmatter. yes, I got a new one! That one got totaled.
@@Igobyalice Good Job 👏🏾. Check out my Jersey collections
No air? My favorite song ends with: smoke weed everyday 😂😂😂
am i tripping wrapping the flathead in electrical tape just to be extra careful not to mess up the throttle body?
have someone step on the gas pedal
Did the slow cranks stop after that ?
Every mechanic worth his salt uses a toothbrush. lol.
A mechanic best tool lol.
I have a 2015 Accord and it had the exact same problem. I went to the dealer and it pop the code P2101. The dealer had the throttle body cleaned and reflash the ECU. Apparently Honda knew about this problem and the ECU update will somehow prevent this from happening in the future. I am keeping my fingers crossed
Good deal, the clean throttle body will keep the engine running efficiently.
@@AWordFromMrJones The issue is that the throttle body should not have the carbon deposit to the point it blocked the throttle valve. I've owned many cars over the years and there was never a single problem related to the throttle body. The car doesn't even have 80K miles on it yet. Something is wrong with Honda.
@@2Phast4Rocket Yeah all cars have different issues based on different living factors, climates, driving etc. I've seen some cars have no issues, very little maintenance, to some that had much and some that didn't. Even seen new cars from factories have issues and some don't.
So glad I seen this video, and comment! I’m currently having the same issue with my 2015 Honda accord same code pops up. I’m thinking of taking it to the dealer to get my throttle body cleaned out.
@@aaronchacon5749 dealer will overcharge most likely
Thank you for making this video. It helped me tremendously. Saved time and money! I liked and subscribed for future videos. 👍
Much appreciated and I am glad this video was helpful.
I hope u can help me man,
Everything started when I was driving my car and it died while I was driving. While the car was still moving I was able to turn it on and get home.
After that the car started but died few seconds later. After few more tries the car didn't start anymore, only cranks. I noticed that the more time i let the car sit when I try again to start it the car will turn on.
I change the crank sensor thinking that was the issue. But not, it continued doing the same.
Pump is working.
Any ideas?
Any check engine lights? If so, get you a OBD II tester to pull the engine code. I have a $50 scanner (ANCEL AD410) from Amazon that works great for troubleshooting. In fact, my scanner is what detected this issue with the throttle body. So it's a GREAT & smart investment to purchase an OBD II scanner for saving time for automotive diagnostic issues.
If you do not have a check engine light then I would first recommend that you clean the Mass Airflow Sensor, Throttle Body, possibly PCV value and give the car a start to see if it starts.
@@AWordFromMrJones Thanks for the quick answer, I don't have engine lights on. I replaced maf sensor and nothing change idk what could it be
@@ARDILAGARAGESince you said the car died while driving and that you do not have a check engine light, then I would look at fuel as the next potential issue.
Have someone put the car ignition to the ON position while you listen to the fuel pump to validate that you hear the pump cycle the fuel. You should also inspect the fuel filter, remove it and dump whatever fuel that's inside the fuel filter in a cup and check to see if the fuel is dirty. If so, it's possible that the fuel filter and maybe fuel pump will need to be replaced.
I usually replace both of them if I have issues with my car performance, completed the common vehicle maintenance but find that the car still has issues and that I found a really dirty fuel filter and do not know the age of the fuel pump, so I would replace both items together to ensure clean fuel delivery.
@@ARDILAGARAGE Just noticed you said the pump is working. Can you take a video of your car starting and upload it to RUclips?
I have that delay issue right now it would start once n then no more till the next day
After i did this process my car rpm started idling higher any chance what it can be
After you clean your throttle body, some cars will need to either idle or be driven for a while for the computer to relearn/readjust your idle.
My 02 mustang started doing this. It starts beautifully then 5 seconds later it slowly starts to shut down, whole engine shakes a bit, and my rmp goes up and down I’m assuming the car is trying to stay on. It’s crazy cause it’s done this twice and it started fine yesterday drove like it should. Now I’m stuck waiting on my mechanic😂😂
Lol engine diagnostics can be a timely process but eventually once the issue is found, you will be on your way. There are many reasons a Mustang would start up fine and then cut off, from fuel pressure regulator, ideal air control, mas airflow sensor, sticky throttle etc. Many times, you can attempt to clean them to see if they will address the issue. Hopefully you will get your car back on the road.
@@AWordFromMrJones got the problem fixed. Found out I needed a camshaft sensor. I also have to replace some oxygen sensors soon but I’m glad it was nothing major👍🏽
@@brythecreater1547 FACTS! I'm glad to hear that and indeed it's great that you were able to get the issue resolved before winter season.
I always try to address car repairs before winter so you only have to worry about gassing up your vehicle and heading to your destination.
Good Deal yo 100
Much respect! 💯
That looks like Florida..
I can see that, especially since Florida has "rancher style" homes except here in the DMV ours are built with ground level basements. 👍
I used a toothbrush too 😆
HAHA, the best tool in the tool box lol. 💯💯
Lmao never supposed to move the throttle body plate put car in park set cinder block on gas pedal and it will open for you
You actually can and it's done often when I am in the shop as the last resorts before purchasing a replacement.
The recommended way is to have a friend open the throttle body by passing on the gas pedal which we did but this throttle body plate was extremely locked up. So you got to do what you got to do to get the issue resolved which is what we did.
Appreciate your comment.
Ahh okay cause I’m having this issue too and the vid was saying something about not manually pushing it idk why though
@@nomnomrocks That's due to the fact that when some people manually open the electronic plate, they overly use force which will break it.
So it's best to open the plate by having a friend press on the gas pedal with the ignition turned to position "ON". However, if you find that the plate is still not opening, then you can try to manually opening it before you go with the last route of purchasing a replacement throttle body.
@@nomnomrocks How did you make out, did you resolve your issue?
Yeah turns out my fuel pump is out yay...
Not suppose to shove open electronic throttle bodies , that’s what the pop was
Correct, it's not advised to shove a electronic throttle body open. In the event that you are in a desperate need to clean it and cannot afford to have it professional cleaned, you can gently open the TB to clean the surface.
This particular TB was frozen shut due to the carbon build up of which my buddy was willing to proceed with the potential risk involved since his car was not able to start. In the event if we were to break the TB, he could easily get a replacement TB. Once the TB was cleaned, we let the engine idle so the computer can relearn and drove off.
By following the process of the video, he saved money on towing and replacement TB.
@@AWordFromMrJones did pushing down on the gas pedal after putting the car in accessory mode not open the throttle flap?
@@jmc224 No, this throttle flap was seized and was going to be replaced but going through our manual process brought it back to life. Car still drives perfect this day.
@@AWordFromMrJones awesome. And what about the relearn process? Did you use a obd2 scanner to have it relearned? Or did you kinda just let it run for about thirty minutes or so for it to adjust itself?
@@jmc224 Correct, the car ran for 30 minutes to perform the relearn to adjust itself. Then we turned the car off/back on, then took it for a road trip.
Bro
This the shit that it happening to me
Hopefully you were able to resolve your issue.
Bro, my car runs, but it dies after a second it will keep running only if it gives it gas by accelerating 2010 civic any idea
