@ExpandWeiner - the guy who supplied the part has pointed out that the aircon pump may not move far (to gain access to sensor) because of the aluminium pipes, even if I do unbolt the compressor itself?

Hi @jdm01. Having a very similar issue to you, detailed in this thread. Short story, I have replaced the fuel filter (genuine Honda) and the fuel pressure relief valve, still having same issue. Already have a new battery and good contacts. Now got a new crankshaft position sensor (well...

Hey @ExpandWeiner, tried to get at from under car, but struggling to get undertray off because of rusted bolts. From what I can see, not sure it will be easy to access this way as advised by someone else. Going to try and look from driver side wheel well too to see if that is any easier...

OK, interesting. I won’t bother wondering why Hondas don’t need a relearn when others seem to, but one less thing to do! I wouldn’t say I had a noisy chain, at least that I know of. The only abnormal noise I have is the PS pump, though this has got better since I removed it and replaced it...

BTW @ExpandWeiner or anyone else, if I fit a new CKP, do I need to do a ‘relearn’ procedure, and if so, can you point me to a guide? I have searched but can’t find anything specific to Hondas. TIA

Many thanks for the reply @ExpandWeiner. I have already ordered a replacement part (OEM used, but apparently known good) which should arrive by tomorrow/Saturday. Apparently I should be able to access this part on the front left (as you look at car) bottom of engine block, by jacking the front...

Thanks @F6HAD . Seems like my next job. Now just got to find a good part. Another thought I had was maybe fuel pump, or possibly the fuel rail pressure sensor? But that is based on my total lack of automotive expertise! . My logic was that as you can see from the screenshots (they forum...

Many thanks for the reply. I am coming to a similar conclusion, and think that is the next logical step. Will try and report back. Thanks again.

Risked another trip to work, but this time, although doing same as yesterday, engine quit abruptly about 2 miles from work. Managed to catch a screenshot of the Car Scanner display. First (timed 20.29) shows when the engine quit. Tried to throttle, but it had completely died. CE light and...

Hi @F6HAD. It’s a little difficult to tell to be honest because of road noise etc. It seems like a sudden loss of power, like the ignition was turned off, at which point the CE light and message comes up, and maybe a couple of other lights you would get with a stall. But there might be some...

More info - found that the OBD reader I have (Car Scanner) has a freeze frame option for when a DTC code comes up - see below. Decided to risk a trip to work in the car on the basis that so far the fault is fairly predictable in outcome. Left early to allow me time to wait the 15-20 minutes...

@F6HAD it cut out whilst driving, and would not start immediately. As before, have to wait around 20 minutes before it will start again. Once restarted, there was a moment on way home when it seemed to hesitate again briefly, which was the original problem. I had the OBD scanner running and...

Update - finally managed to get hold of and fit new FPR. Cleared codes. Initial signs all good - no leaks, OBD reading what I ***ume are healthy readings with engine idle pressures of around 4400psi (aircon switched off), and ignition at about 8250psi. Went for an almost identical test drive...

Another update - actually got old valve off without too much bother. Removed power steering pump (needs a new O ring anyway) easily by removing two bolts. Used a breaker bar and 6 point 17mm socket and just progressively leant into the top of the breaker bar whilst holding the socket square on...

@F6HAD absolutely right, I removed the air box completely to simplify things, so the MAF sensor was disconnected. Thought I had cleared the codes before I went for the test drive, but clearly not. I’ll order a new FPR. Incidentally, no sign of any hesitation yesterday when I broke down, like...
