2010 i-dtec accord
Just joined the forum, first post so
a big hI to you all!!

so my car, 2010 accord idtec ex 2.2 160k miles, has recently developed a WARM start problem over the last few day's . Cranks and starts as it should on the button in the morning..after driving a few mins,and say i jump out at the garage,and go to restart, (battery new,and no slowdown on crank speed)might crank 10 -20 times before it fires.caught the mechanic on Fri just before he locked up..ran diagnostic..no codes..due to get car serviced next week..had all filters oil etc in the boot anyway. So changed fuel filter there and then..no joy..
After some recon online there's vast opinions from rail pressure problems to glow plugs and relays.. (although doubt it's glow plug problem)
The car , once started ,doesn't miss a beat,runs as it should, so I'm stuggling with injector,or fuel pump suggestions mentioned on other site's, although I stand to be corrected!

has anyone come across this before,or ideas as to what tantrum my car has decided to throw?

Thanks in advance
 
I've not seen a warm start issue on the idtec yet. But I have seen faulty rail pressure sensor. A second hand fuel rail with relief valve and sensor solved it.
 
Cheers for reply F6HAD... is the relief valve part of the rail or can it be bought and replaced separately
 
They can be bought separately but if you can get a complete rail secondhand cheap enough it's worth just replacing it all.

Run a leak back test first if you can, rather than throw parts at it. May be a bad injector or faulty rail.
 
Update.
Failed leak back test miserably..on all 4 injectors, 2 more serious than the others.

Checked fuel tank for contamination and low and behold, METAL SHAVINGS .

so 4 new injectors.. new hp pump to be installed tomorrow, with cleaned rail, tank and all pipes from tank all the way up to injectors is the prescribed cure

Cheers for advice F6HAD
 
Hmm has this car ever been misfuelled by any chance?
 
Not in my ownership..I only bought it in august, but looking like a high possibility it was before I had it,with the findings in the tank
