    what do you think?

    I have posted this problem before,my 2000 accord v6 runs great in the
    city,it will tach up to 5000k when I need to pass.Once I get on the highway
    and pass someone at or above 70mph the fuel shuts off,but the car ill still
    be running.After this happens I can't accelerate past 3500 rpm on the
    tach,I get fuel cut off regardless of city or highway driving.Next day all
    is normal until I break the 70mph,car runs like crap.So is the fuel
    pressure regulator or fuel pump itself, or some sensor? Help anyone, or
    I'll bite the bullet and head to the dealer.TIA.

    rkamp,

    You forgot to mention the mileage and service history. My lawnmower
    works great until I get into thick grass, because the fuel consumption
    goes way up, then the fuel filter plugs up because of rust particles in
    the gas tank. Shutting it off and restarting will cure the problem for a
    while. If your fuel filter is plugged up, high speed stuff will be
    difficult, but low RPM's will function OK. You can change the fuel
    filter yourself, just don't do it with a hot engine or with a trouble
    lamp laying on the floor beneath the car. Also, replace the crush
    washers on the banjo bolts while you're at it.

    I wish I had a solution but it could be several different things and I
    don't want you to waste money fixing things that might be the true souce
    of the problem. I suggest that you take the car to your favorite mechanic
    or the nearest Honda Dealership. Have them do a major tune-up and tell
    them about your problem. They will hook your car up to a huge computerized
    tester that will help the mechanic find the problem. In addition, the tune
    up means that some critical parts such as spark plugs will be replaced.

    Bill, you either work for a Honda dealer or Sears, or your brother
    does.

    Every piece of advice you give on here involves taking the car to
    either Sears, or the dealer.

    For God's sakes, man, give some valid advice, that involves some
    critical thinking, or don't post. You're wasting everyone's time.
