2009 Honda Accord 4 cyl VSA light on and check engine light flashing and no go over 20mph help needed-

Honda guys- what do I look for? Waiting to get scanned soon.

VTEC Solenoid

Common on the K24 engines. If that is the issue go to Honda and get a OEM unit.

Vehicle Stability Assist
1 make sure you did not accidentally turned if off, if so turn it on.
2 check for low tire pressure
3 you need to scan it.

if it is turned off or detects a fault it will lower vehicle speed, this in normal.
it could be nothing or it could be serious, might need a steering angle sensor, only reading the codes will tell.

Scanned and said too many misfires on Cylinder 2. Said crankshaft positiion sensor.

Sound right?

 

[SC0TT]

Is the check engine light flashing?

 

[Greybeard]

What light is flashing?
mil or vsa?

 

[spistols]

VSA light stays on and the Check Engine light is flashing.

 

[Greybeard]

So the plot thickens……a mil would trigger the vsa. With that the vsa is more than likely working normal.
miss fire nbr 2 could be sparkplug or coil pack
could be crank position sensor, I would think you would have more problems than 1 cyl misfiring.
plugs cheap, coil pack swap cost nothing then position sensor.
or
could be a sucked vlv hole in piston or hole in block I would start with coil pack

Pull the spark plug cover off and start the car. 2nd from the left is #2 cylinder. Unplug the ignition coil while its running. If there is no change in the misfire and the engine still runs like crap swap out the coil

I put in a coil pack last summer.
