Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, especially around the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket.

Timing belt issues

The J30A4 engine uses a timing belt that needs regular replacement; failure to do so can cause severe engine damage.

Misfires

A common issue with V6 engines can be misfires, often due to faulty ignition coils or spark plugs.

Overheating

The cooling system must be maintained properly; otherwise, these engines can overheat due to clogged radiators or failed water pumps.

Egr valve problems

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like some variants of the J30A4, are susceptible to carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Transmission issues

While not strictly an engine problem, the transmission in the 2005 Honda Accord can have issues that affect engine performance, such as delayed shifting or slipping.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, including oxygen sensors and the mass airflow sensor, can fail, leading to poor fuel economy and engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.
