After several days, car stalled while turning corner. Heared a loud banging noise under the shift lever while driving 40+ mph accelerating onto the interstate.
As I mentioned before, I am through with Honda!!!!!. This is definitely not safe and definitely unacceptable. I am still researching this problem, but it appears that other owners have had experiences with their 1997 Honda Accords' engines surging and stalling and in some cases causing accidents. Consequently it was recommended to replace the ignition coil as it evidently had an electrical failure. The dealer said that the ignition coil was not talking to the tach and the computer could not read the engine idle speed. The next time it illuminated it eventually turned itself out.

Interestingly once the code was cleared the check engine light when out and did not illuminate for some time. Finally the check engine light came on referencing a transmission code that referred to the ignition coil. Over time the engine began surging and stalling, not necessarily in rhythm with the tachometer, nor exhibiting such behavior when the tach was acting up. Initially the engine performance was nominal. For a long time the tachometer behaved randomly. In addition to the ignition coil problem described below I have also had problems with the srs system, abs system, wireless entry system, air conditioner, and the auto door locks (all of which are described in another complaint). I had to split up my complaint because of the size restriction on the description field.
