2004 v6 accord - Engine stall issue
Model - 2004 Accord v6
Experts,
I need advise how to go about this issue. What could be the likely cause. I had 3 situations in last one week that I'm trying to get bottom and solve.Situations:
1) At school parking lot, while turning the steering wheel (slow). The steering gets locked and then the engine stalls (dashboard lights off, looked like as if the car went in Ignition accessory state). Since then felt tightness in steering wheel.
-- changed steering wheel fluid (turkey blaster method). the wheel felt soft few miles drive, but then hard again.
2) Did a hard break at stop sign for few seconds, then on acceleration I got a sudden jerk from vehicle. Engine didnt stall this time.
-- since then I have been accelerating slowly after a stop.
3) Today, I had engine running for 10 mins in a parking lot. After 10 mins the engine stalled.
In all above scenarions, except hard steering. I couldn't reproduce the problems.
Tried break fluid and steering fluid (turkey blaster), coolan reflush, transmission and engine fluid levels look ok. No major leaks.
Thanks in advance.

No idea yet, why it stopped. Fuel levels are normal. Oil looks good. Ignition felt seemed like flipped to accessory. Each time, I turned off the engine and turned it back on. And things back normal.
There is no check engine light.
Is there a scanner that we can attach that will give us idea? Or you talking of visual experienced Mechanic scan the modules?
Thanks for you reply Sir.

Thanks for that link. I replaced air intake hose as it was torn. Things worked well for few days, and then had a stall engine experience once again. Ran it for diagnostics at a shop, they advised spark plugs, timing belt, fuel system and the air intake hose..
