P1361 = Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor A (Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor) Intermittent Interruption,or Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor Intermittent Interruption.

Could be a wiring problem or dirty connectors.

is the check engine light on? sounds as tps is acting up. the TPS sends signal to the ECM to help control transmission performance and shift points.

A '97 with only 40k ? Wow ! Sounds like a transmission issue. I would begin with changing the transmission fluid and filter. If that didn't work, I'd take it to a transmission shop because there isn't much you can do on your own with a transmission due to their inherent complexity.

does it backfire...and if it does you might have bent a valve if the car didnt have enough oil.....hope this helps

you need to replace window rubber runners to cure this problem.hell of a job......or you could try silicon,with the windows down place a small amount onbottom of runners then wind them up then down several times to spread silicon around try not to get it all over the glass......

Check the connections of the bulb sockets and the contacts on the bulbs themselves. Sometimes a small amount of corrosion or oxidation can increase the resistance in the circuit enough to cause the flasher to cycle erratically. When the fast flashing occurs, check both your front and rear bulbs. Is one dimmer than the other? If so, start by checking that one first.

While unlikely...does your Honda have any sort of towing capability? If so, corrosion or a short in your trailer light connection can also wreak havoc on a flasher. If your car has a tow hitch, you may want to remove the trailer wiring adapter from the car's factory wiring and see if the problem disappears. If so, either remove or replace the defective controller.

PRISE SWITCH OUT AND CHECK FOR CROSSED WIRES IF SWITCH IS CAPUT GO TO BREAKERS YARD FOR REPLACEMENT.

Yes, you need a stiffer shock. Your probably bottoming out. You'll need the camber and alignment checked after you stiffen it. The ride will not be so pleasant so slow down for bumps.

check your fuel filter or pump
