    Default Honda Repair shop suggestion or advice

    I'm new to the Atlanta area and this forum. I have a 98 Accord EX V6 Coupe w/ 155k miles. I am having a problem that i can't seem to diagnose or fix, so I am hoping someone can tell me what the problem is or recommend a good Honda repair shop (not a dealer) to take it to. I am in the Midtown/Downtown area.

    Basically, I was driving on the highway at a constant speed of about 60mph, and the car just started jolting back and forth and the engine light started flashing. I pulled the car over and pulled the code: 0300 - random misfire. Since this happened, I have replaced the dist. cap, rotor, spark plug wires, and spark plugs myself. The problem is still happening. Some more info, when I accelerate or let off the gas, the car doesn't jolt at all. It's only when I am going a constant speed that it is happening.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Brad

    I think I know what it is. Give me a call if you want me to run a diagnostic on it.

    Default Update

    Here's an update for anyone who is interested...

    I got in touch with my mechanic over the phone. He had me disconnect my EGR valve and drive the car. The random misfires (jolting) went away once I did this. His diagnosis is that because my car has not throw any EGR codes, the EGR value isn't bad, but I need to clean my intake manifold, because part of it is clogged causing the valve to work harding pulling more from the other cylinders, thus making the mixture lean, causing random misfires. He says its a common problem on v6 Hondas and it could have been caused by the type of gas I'm using.

    This explanation seems logical to me...
