No Longer Active
Following on from my recent (and, I believe, resolved) problem - http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/8528-engine-dies-when-warm/ - I have another severe engine failure.
After standing unused for a couple of days, I tried to start it earlier today only for it to fire up, run for about a second (sounding like a bag of spanners) and die - the MIL came on and attempts at a restart failed. I read the DTC P1059 and cleared it off the ECU, but again it only ran for a brief instant before dying. The MIL came back on and the DTC P1059 is also back (so at least it's consistent). My OBD2 reader can only identify this code as 'undefined' and a search of this (and the Civic) websites gives no hits. The best I can find on Google is 'Fuel and Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls' which isn't really specific enough.
Please help!
