    Car Starts then Shuts off

    I rang Honda today to buy the part but they told me that there are two types of ignition switches, one is a batman style and the other is mushroom style. They think I have the latter which is more expensive and harder to change. I will keep all posted. Thanks Mr Honda

    Car Starts then Shuts off

    Yeah that did happen to me yesterday. I took off the Steering column cover yesterday and the only think I find slightly daunting is removing the sheared bolt.

    Car Starts then Shuts off

    Thanks Mr Honda. Good to see this forum is still alive. It turns out it is the ignition switch, car runs while you keep the pulled back slightly to the left, but as soon as you let you go it shuts off. Would you buy the part from Honda and do you know if there any DIYs for this on this forum?

    My Accord is no more :-(

    Hi Guys, Just thought I would share my sarrows. My accord died after 166K. Had it for two years. Bought it to be used as a work horse for £800 with 133k on the clock, didn't care about the cosmetics damages it had from previous owners. Always past MOT. All I had to do in the two years is...

    Want PCV ?

    Anyone now anywhere in uk other than eBay and Honda from where I can buy a pcv ? Honda want £40 and all the ones on eBay are from the US for Honda preludes. Although they may have all the same engine. Mine is 2.0L.

    P0401..EGR insufficient flow

    Hello All, I got this error code ‘P0401 EGR insufficient flow’ on my car about 3 weeks ago. I have read on this forum and others that cleaning the EGR valve and air intake (EGR Ports) usually gets rid of the code. I tried to take off the EGR Valve and could easily see the two 13mm bolts...

    Burning Oil (PCV valve)

    Thanks for everyone’s response. I have not noticed much smoke coming out of the back of the exhaust. The smoke in fact seems minimal especially on warm days, so this must mean that the car is not burning oil. I will do the test that Linas has suggested, by losing the oil cover and giving the...

    Burning Oil (PCV valve)

    Is the Part brand new and does it come with the rubber seal and will the part no# be the same as my orignal? Also do guys think that I could be losing oil due to the PCV valve, which is causing my engine to burn the oil ?

    Burning Oil (PCV valve)

    Hello Everyone, I have a 6th Gen Honda Accord 2.0L SE it has done 142K. I have noticed that I am losing 1 litre of oil almost every 1000miles. Could this be due to the PCV Valve? As I can't see any signs of oil leak. If yes, how do I change it and where is it located? Any guides ? Also...

    Cleaning fuel system

    I have seen that two bottle machince thing on Wheeler dealers in a recent program on a Jag. But I can't find any garages that do it. The alternative that I can think of this going down to Halfords garage and let them put fuel treatment in my fuel tank. My main concern is where will the dirt go...

    Cleaning fuel system

    Hi I have seen the program too. I am looking for a place that does it near Sheffield if anyone can help? I bought a high mileage Honda accord with 135k mileage on it, as I know they will run for ever. I want to clean the fuel system to restore some of the original performance. Ideally I would...
