Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 20072000 Acord V6 Diagnosis?
Car just became hard to start or not start at all. Come back and it may start as usual and run fine. Or, start and run rough. I'm thinking it's a fuel management problem but, a new fuel pump/screen is too expensive to play "swap parts till it's fixed". Anyone here have any ideas how to diagnose? Thanks Check the ECU for codes.  SignatureGohan Ryu http://www.automotiveforums.com The car is my daughter's who doesn't live with us. Yesterday I asked if the check engine light was on...she said no. Wouldn't any hard codes activate the CEL or are they stored in the ECU?

I had similar issue when we first received the car last year. It seems the new car has sensitive electronic componet which does not like metal (i.e whole of keys) gets close to it. Try get rid of all metal stuff from the key chain, at least that's how I solved my wife's problem. Women tend to love to bundle everything to their car key. My Toyota also has IC chip in the key but the remote function is located in another piece. It seems less picky... > I had similar issue when we first received the car last year. > It seems the new car has sensitive electronic componet which does not like > metal (i.e whole of keys) gets close to it. > Try get rid of all metal stuff from the key chain, at least that's how I > solved my wife's problem. > Women tend to love to bundle everything to their car key. ----------------------------------- But Harry, your symptom was a dead give-away, since the immobilizer icon on the dash was flashing the picture of the KEY.
