Honda accord problem	Sign In

Hello i recently purchased honda accord 2000 v6 i i recently started to have problems when i start it up it's ok , it kind of shakes but ok , but i leave it off for like 20-10 minutes and turn it on it doesn't turn on it like shakes and stuff i have to press gas to keep the car running if i let it go it turn's off. I Was thinking it was the sparks. , Recently checked it with the computer and it said that i have couple of cylinders mis fire so what does it mean i changed the sensor for 250 dollars and it still doesn't work , i got told it told that it could be the electrical distrubitor or ignition ? any ideas guys i really need your help. Thanks. By the way i still haven't changed the sparks , i think their original , the mechanic said it looks good , the car has 109,000 miles

well the car is misfiring for a reason

the misfire code is a generic code, it doesnt pin point a particular sensor.

check the coil packs, fuel injectors,

"The mechanic said it looks good" Where was this mechanic when you wasted $250 on a sensor? What sensor was it? With a misfire code , troubleshooting should have started with the secondary ignition and proceed from there . You need to go to shop and have get a estimate.As you have found out poke and hope gets expensive quickly .
