Accord Type S
Hello,
After owning lots of hondas before, i decided to go for a accord type R 2 days ago after selling my s2000..
Was good fun, and started half a turn of the key...
Came out today- and it wont start!!! Well it did start, felt a bit rought and once i pressed the gas it died on me, and wont start any more...
Any ideas what could it be??
(p.s also looking for a place where people sell parts for these, as i cant really find any,not only stock but performance ones too)
 
Could be a multitude of things,does it have enough fuel,can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn ignition on?
The only time mine hasnt started was when my earth strap from near battery to front of gearbox was nackered.Took it off and cleaned up connections and it hasnt missed a beat since.
 
Injectors? Fuel pump could need checking to see if its working, flat battery......list goes on really, check basics first then if they are not the problem we will get our head around wht it could be ;)
 
swapped dizzy with mates h22 prelude.. didint help.. got ****ed off and tried the old fashion way- push... guess what, it started .. went for a drive.. came back.. as if nothing happened...
so im not really sure whats wrong with it, but going to buy dizzy cap with rotor arm, leads spark plugs just in case...
this might be a stupid question- what forum do you use ? this forum is nice, but the for sale section isint as close to what i expected it to be...

Regards
D
 
My vote would go to a bad earth....mine used to do it at petrol stations for some reason..sometimes didnt do it for a week and other times would do it everyday.....took a while to notice the obvious lol
accordr.org.....is more orientated to the type r....so more parts for sale...
