Does your cars motor crank over when it is warm? If the motor will not even crank over chances are that your starter is bad. I am sorry I could not be of more help, but I need more information before I can be of any further assistance. Hopefully this helps you out and at least gives you a place to start.

OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT LOCATED EITHER DIRECTLY ABOVE OIL FILTER OR LOCATED TO SIDE OF OIL FILTER.

Open the engine hood.

There will be several fluid reservoirs under the bonnet. If the car / truck has power steering, one of them will hold about 150-300ml of fluid that should be a red color. If you put some on your hand it is very slippery.

The other reservoirs will hold water for the windscreen washer, and one connected to the radiator to hold coolant.

Check that the reservoir you intend to put the power steering fliud in is not connected to the radiator and does not contain water.

Take the cap off to check.

If you can't see in to the bottom, roll up some kitchen paper towel and feed that in until you get some fluid on it - red, you hope!

There will be marks (horizontal lines) on the side of the reservoir showing "Min" (minimum) and "Max" (maximum or full). Slowly pour in replavcement fliud until the tiop of the fluid is between the marks.. Put the cap back on, close the engine hood, drive for a short distance (2 km?) and check the levels again.

Top up the reservoir to just under "Max". Replace the cap.

Check the level after a short period of normal driving - a couple of weeks, If it is still going down a mechanic needs to check the power steering seals.

good luck.

I have the same problem few days ago, and still didn't find any solution. Can any one please help?????4

I would say that this is a wiring issue. You would have to inspect the wiring underneath the dashboard and the one that leads to the gas tank. One is the power for fuel pump and the other is for the floater for the gauge. Check for loose wires especially for exposed conductors or worn out insulation. The wire might be touching the wire for the blinker causing the issue you are seeing.

may be air in system bleed it or could be master cylnder try thos options before tareing deep into somethin .

What else is it doing or not doing? This will help me tremendously as this could be an issue with a plugged fuel filter, misfire or mass air flow sensor issue.

I fina a picture for you,

hope help.

That is an accord if I am not mistaken. All you have to do is replace the VSS(vehicle speed sensor). If you look down it is mounted on the transmission close to the bell housing underneath the air intake duct just below the thermostat housing. That is an accord sickness. I have fixed so many accord with same problem. On civic it is about in the same area where it is located. It is repairable, but it is not worth your time. I even invented a tester for a honda vehicle sensor so I could bring it to a junkyard and test it so I wont have to keep coming back and fort.
