Last night I drove on the Interstate through a snow storm. About 20 degrees F outside and icy snowy roads. I had cruise control on at 75mph for as much of the drive as conditions would allow. Midway through the drive, I noticed a slight jerking or lerching forward when the car tried to accelerate or maintain speed uphill with cruise control on. This got progressively worse. I thought it might be that the tires were not gripping the road well because the the snow (slippage) but then, about 50+ miles after I first felt this, the Check Engine light came on. The lerching got progressively worse--almost the same feeling as when you run out of gas while driving, like the fuel delivery to the acceleration system was spotty, but the car had a full tank. This lerching ONLY seemed to happen above 60mph--below that, I didn't notice any problem. Check engine light remained on today. Any ideas? Brigning this into the Honda Dealership tomorrow and keeping it off the highways until then...
