It's a 2001 Honda Accord with V6 engine. The check engine light is on. About a month ago, TCS (traction control system) light came on, and I simply turned it off by turning off the switch near the driver side seat inside the car.
Today, I noticed that it came back on while driving and then few minutes afterwards the check engine light (malfunction indicator lamp came on). Even right now, it stays on when I turn on the ignition and strangely the engine is making that acceleration attempt noise by itself, as if you are pressing on the gas pedal abruptly, and the needle on the tachometer jumps up and down by few notches.
The card has about 75,000 miles and has been less than 3000 miles since the last oil change. Has not yet had timinb belt changed. The fuel cap on the fuel tank is not loose. I've re-tightened it.
What do all these symptoms sound like (mainly the malfunction indicator lamp on, and the engine making the acceleration nosie by itself). Advises will be appreciated.
