(2000 Honda Accord LX Coupe, 2.3 liter, 4-speed automatic) I've had my car for over a year, and for the first nine months, I've had this problem roughly three times, and in this past week, I've had this issue five times. Basically, I'll go to start my car, and usually it'll run fine the first time I drive it for the day, but let's say I go on my lunch break, I go to start my car, the engine turns over, but the RPMs drop, the car shakes, and the engine dies. After this, the car will not start until I try again later. I have no idea what's wrong with it, and I've heard it could be many different things. Does anyone know more specifically what could be wrong with it? I'm pretty dependent on this car, and I hate being afraid to drive it anywhere because I don't want it to leave me stranded. Thanks for the help!

A very common late 90's code, P1457 is a failure in one of the evap system solenoid valves. There are 2 culprits, the Vent Control Valve & the 2 Way Bypass Valve. So, start working with those and see if you can get the 1457 code off of it.

I also looked around about the 1739 code as well which a transaxle error. However, I've found that there has been more than enough reported cases of problems of the such. Take a look at this link, and do a little reading.

Could be a fuel pump that is going bad. Some times when fuel pumps go bad they cavitate and pump not just gas but also air. If you get too much air in the line and not enough gas the car won't start. Have a mechanic check your fuel line pressure.
