Had to jump start the Accord today as it hasn't been used in weeks.
So took it out for a drive and noticed twice the revs had dropped completely to zero momentarily (car still running), and the central dash display (where the millage is) went blank.
Satnav screen also looked like it had been reset (turned itself on like i just started the car).
I'm thinking it might be alternator (however I fitted a new ECP one in Jan).
Measured the battery voltage with the car running:
- headlights and AC off, 14.0v, when revving increased to 14.2v
- headlights and AC on, 13.7v, initially dips to 12.5v when lights and AC turned on.
However two newly charged batteries later, Accord still refuses to start.
Measures just over 12v on battery, fails to start then measures 10v, creeping up to 12 again.
Any ideas what else it could be, it does start happily when jump starting with another car though.
I'm loosing the will with this car.
