I have a 1998 Honda Accord 2.3L VTi-L (Philippines), I have this issue for quite sometimes now (more than a year as I can remember).

Here's whats happening:

  1. when I drive my car (day time) on aircon blower @ #1 it runs perfectly fine, until such time, it will hesitate, jerk, or whatever you call it.

  2. when I switch the aircon blower to #2 it will run fine but jerks, a bit faster than situation #1

  3. when I use my headlight and aircon (#1 at AC blower speed) at the same time, it jerks.

NOTE: After jerking for sometime, the CEL came on with code 9 (CYP Sensor), took it to a shop, got the dizzy replaced, still does the same thing. whats bad is, if you let it on CEL for quite sometimes, it dies, and you need to let it cold until it starts again (when it dies, it shows TDC error code), then reset the battery to remove the codes.

I've noticed that when it died, and you rest for like 5 mins, then turn the engine on, then AC, it jerks, then it will die, if you run it without the AC, it will run for about 10-15 mins, with CEL on the dash.

Things I did already since issue came on:

Got dizzy replaced replaced (4x)
Got ECU physically checked (all perfect)
Got the Dizzy to ECU connectivity (all fine)
Got my engine wiring checked and fixed (added relays and all)
Got my fuel pump checked (all perfect)
Got my Timing and Balancer belt changed
Got my CPS replaced
Got my Throttle body cleaned
Replaced IACV
Got grounding kits installed (and replaced the old ones)

BTW, when I press my powerlock buttons or if i use any of its electricals inside the car (@night), the lights on the dash flickers (but doesnt die). it just flickers for example, I press the power lock button, it flickers, (as if you are starting your car with the headlight turned on).

I was thinking that my alternator could be going bad, but I dont have signs, battery indicator doesnt turn on, I have my battery for a year now and only charged once (when I did not notice that my brake light switch was busted, so my tail lights was on for a week maybe IDK actually*), sometimes my audio when connected to my Bluetooth on my phone would freeze,
