Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006new Accord Ex-V6 engine will not start, brand new car today!
My new car just received today will not start after parking in garage for less than two hrs. This car was driving/starting normally during the day and it starts, stops several times with no problem. The battery feels strong and starter is working normally. It cranks but no fire up. Right before starting I heard a long shooo sound. All the stereo and navigation seems OK. I have another 05 EX-V6 and it does make the same kind of "shooo" sound, just not as loud. There is no warning on the instrument panel. At the beginning, the gear shift was locked, after releasing it, it shifts normally. Tried putting gear in P and N with no vale. Is there any "reset" procedure I can try? Thank you first. I would call the dealer to come and get it, and bring it back when it is fixed. I had to do exactly that with a brand new Audi. I called the dealer the same night I got it home (barely) and they were there the next morning with a flatbed tow truck. I lived 60 miles from the dealer. I sure wouldn't mess around trying to fix a brand new car. >My new car just received today will not start after parking in garage for >less than two hrs.

A coil around the keyhole fires an electromagnetic signal into the key and listens for an encoded signal to echo back from a chip in the key's plastic body. The wrong signal will cause the car to play dead. Some keychains will absorb or distort the signal. If the antitheft chip bothers you, open the key body and pry out the little black epoxy box that's jammed in the side of it. Glue it to the side of the keyhole and then any properly cut key (or big screwdriver) can start the car.

Well, it's not normally a theft risk because you have to have the correctly coded chip. If you have that, it's probably inside a good key. Of course, if the owner tapes a chip to the lock cylinder, all that is needed is that big screwdriver. Here is the response for the same question in another Honda NG. It solved my problem, I believe some folks would like to see what was the solution... I don't have a manual for a v6, but all Honda manuals should have the same section called "Starting the Engine" where they describe starting in (extreme) COLD weather, HIGH altitudes, and Flooded. For two of those you hold the gas pedal half-way to the floor. For flooded (with too much gasoline) you hold the gas pedal to the metal and crank it for up to 15 seconds at a time. It tells the computer to cut the injectors while the engine gets a chance to 'breathe fresh air'. 'Curly' Your engine si flooded, use a hair dryer to blow the engine dry. Would you be more specific? I am not good at cars. si? It runs well since Monday night, three days OK so far. Do I stll need to use your method to dry? |
