    Problem starting hot and cold

    The 'all in one' leak back test described above would be a good check.

    Problem starting hot and cold

    Latest update - all up and running now. The rail from a company who responded to my query with 247spares.co,uk (not 247parts to co.uk - my mistake) arrived next day, and was fitted by my local garage, and she starts first time now. I took the old rail apart back home and the presssure sensor...

    Problem starting hot and cold

    sorry Jon. I didn't have PM enabled. The 247parts.co.uk website uses your registration to identify the part correctly but I'll see if it worked tomorrow! In any case, I might only need the valve, and will sell on the sensor off the other end of the rail.

    Problem starting hot and cold

    Latest update. As Jon intimated the pressure relieve valve isn't available from Honda separately (although it would seem to screw into the end of the rail and is pleasantly devoid of any electronics).

    No, I don't have an OBD reader. Be nice to know what others rev meter shows when starting, could just be a warn-out starter motor. The Bosch service centre guys (both ex-Honda) did have diagnostics which indicated the pressure was fine (but probably only during running rather than cranking)...

    Problem starting hot and cold

    Thanks Jon - amazing quick reply Yep you've fingered me as a cheapskate - its an ebay filter I've fitted ( as I have over the last 5 years) but I think I ruled it out as a problem by having someone else crank the engine while I pumped the priming pump. I've already suplemented the earth...

    Problem starting hot and cold

    Hi guys, my first post. I have a 2005 2.2i-cdti sport with 145000 on the clock and I've had it since new and its been a gem. Until last Saturday she had never left me by the side of the road, only drive shafts and the exhaust manifold have been changed since new. It started to take longer to...
