Find the radio code in the glove compartment

a simple light failure wouldnt decrease fuel economy... perhaps the switch is bad, or has a loose wire.

This post may be an old post, but I figured I'd post my findings in case anyone is still fighting the good fight. My vehicle: 2008 Honda Accord 2.4L EX-L Codes: P062f p060a p2610 p2118 Hard starting when cold or sitting for over 25 min. Otherwise would start fine and drive fine with no issues until next start. Process: Replaced battery, no change Sent Pcm (ecu) for repair/service. ECU came back with no errors or damage found. No change. Replaced throttle body, no change. Cleaned map and maf sensors, no change. (This fixed issue for someone so figured I would inspect.) Replaced FTP, code went away, but no change. *Note: During idle, I noticed a minimal sputter. Almost not audible. Researched more, and one person mentioned they changed the spark plugs and that fixed their car. So, I produce a list of all possible fuel/Ignition related possibilities for hard start/idle sputter. Spark plugs Ignition coils Injectors Fuel pump As for me, I replaced the fuel injectors, ignition coils, and fuel pump about 2 years ago. And due to covid my car was almost not driven for the last 2 years. So, I removed them as possibilities for me. That left spark plugs. I bought some NGK iridium plugs and replaced them. Old plugs were worn. (See pictures). This resolved my issues. No more cell lights, hard start, or idle sputter. Definitely do your due diligence, but I'd say definitely go in this direction if your symptoms sound like mine did. Good luck, everyone.

Sounds like the buttons are dirty. Remove the unit and remove the case. Clean the switch contacts with electrical switch / contact cleaner spray. Clean the connectors as well. If that doesn't work, take in for car audio repair.

valve clatter is usually the sound of oil starved valves if lite came on would indicate no oil pressure --check oil level and have oil pressure tested

What the P0011 code means. P0011 is the OBD-II generic code indicating the engine control module (ECM) has determined that the bank 1 intake camshaft is more advanced than what the ECM has commanded it be. This over-advanced condition could be during advancing or retarding of the camshaft timing. The timing belt or chain may have jumped and the noise could come from valves hitting the piston head.

check oil level --possible valve train damage -need to inspect -- possible lower end damage -pistons bearings etc -really bad fuel -oil pump failing

Cycle through the various menus...I think there's a choice you have to enable to get the station info to show. The station freq should, though, like 104.5 on the fm band. Make sure you've selected a broadcast station and not aux input, for example.

Take the car back to the dealer, or if you can get someone to do a scan for fault codes too, that could send you I the right direction. Aske the dealer if there are any ignition switch harness recalls.

I would change out the ECU box. They are under $130 (or you can buy used one like I did). They are easy to change out yourself and are usually located under the floor mat/carpet on the passenger side. I tried the reset thing on my old 93 Honda several times and when I changed it out completely, my problem was solved.

I would check all fuses to see if any have blown.

It sounds like the actuator is stuck open on that side, forcing heat to be mixed. The actuator looks like a little shock-absorber and forces the mix of hot and cold air. They are usually way inside the dashboard near the firewall. You might need a mechanic to fix that one.
