2000 Honda Accord DX 2.3L 4cyl, Check engine light is blinking. No compression in cylinder.

When I had it hooked up the computer it said cylinder 1 misfire. Had the compression checked and it has no compression. Is there something else that could be causing this cylinder not to fire, or do I need to replace the intake valve?

Bad head gasket which means taking the top of the motor off...altho you would do that anyway to replace a bad valve..

SOURCE: 2003 kia sedona rough idle--check engine light

The only thingI can say is that there is a problem that is affecting the entire bank on one side of the engine. This automatcally eliminates things like Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) etc. because failure of these things will affect BOTH banks, not one.

I have seen things like a totally skewed upstream Oxygen sensor on one side cause misfire codes for all cylinders on one bank. It is pretty rare, but it CAN happen. This can usually be verified by graphing the O2 Sensor PIDs for both sensors and comparing the graphs.

If the scaner data should be showing SOMETHING that is not right on one side - i.e. fuel trims, injector pulse width, etc.
I would also be looking into the possibility of one of the cams on that side to be 1 tooth off of the correct timing. This can cause problems while the engine is running and will not necessarily show up on a cranking compression test. One way to verify this is to perform a RUNNING compression test. With a warmed-up engine, pull one spark plug out at a time and check the compression with the engine running. Do BOTH sides, so you can compare the readings. If the entire 1-3-5 bank is lower than the 2-4-6 bank, then valve timing is most likely the cause.

SOURCE: Misfire on cylinder 1 and 3

Do you observe abnormal idle speed? It may be just an indicator fault; not a really engine firing problem.

SOURCE: 2000 Honda Accord EGR Valve Error P0401

Jason,
-after you change the part you have to reset/clear the code

-this can be done by either:
(1) using the OBD2 code reader that Autozone used OR since option 2 (below) is very quick
(2) disconnecting the battery for about 30 seconds (this will delete all codes/radio presets/etc) but it will also clear the 'check engine' code
-this is what I do AFTER i write down my radio station presets :)

-hopefully the new EGR valve resolves your issue after you CLEAR the code
...but that code just means a an insufficient amount of Exhaust Gas recirculation (pressure difference) used to keep the emissions in check
-if it comes back, then there are a few other fixes to try also

-let me know if you need further assistance
-please remember to rate me `fix-ya`if it works
thanks

I replaced head gasket on honda 3.0 engine now no compression and no start

bingo, hondas are all interference engines, (99%)

3.0L J30A1 V6 200 hp (150 kW)??????? this one?
SOHC V6

no compression on all cylinders????????? or just 1.
1: the valves were bent. at the belt snap?, (skipping 60k service !@)
2: you timed the cam wrong.
3 : The system uses the i-VTEC system to turn off one bank of cylinders under light loads
so maybe this feature is active? and you didnt check all cylinders for
compression? ???? try all 6 and post.
did you follow all steps in the FSM to do this job? y/n
or alldata.com ????

4: did you have the HLA valve lifters out. and not prime them? per FSM.
if you like this car, why not own a FSM. (or equiv)

never ever crank over any interference engine after any major work
(heads off, cam belt, change,or lost compression)
until:
1: you turn engine over by hand, sparks out.
2: then run a cyl. leak down test, first. on all 6
if not ,the 7 HP starter can in FACT bend valves.
that be Rule 1. (or $$$$$$$_)

My 2000 honda accord lx's check engine light has been on but now it's blinking ever since my car started shaking really bad.

A blinking check engine light is a signal that a damaging misfire is occurring in one or more cylinders. Your car is shaking because of the uneven power loss between firing cylinders and those that are misfiring. If you take your car to a major auto parts store, they will read out the stored trouble codes in your car's computer memory--and they'll do it for free. These codes will tell you which cylinders are misfiring and will help you find out why. Do it soon before more engine damage occurs--$$$$.

I have a 1997 honda accord lx 6 cylinder 24 valve engine that the check engine light is on and the D4 light was blinking yellow and then now is blinking green. what could be the problem?

The check engine light comes on if there is an issue.But Honda also has preset the Check engine light to come on to remind you of oil changes.If you want to shut the Check engine light off.There is a Yellow Reset Button inside the Fuse panel.

2001 4cyl ACCORD, turns over has spark to all plugs, is getting fuel, wants to start but will not catch. I have checked the timing and all connectors everything is fine. I'm just scratching my head at this...

Hi, I would check what the gap should be on the plugs with feeler gauges and correct as necessary.Is the colour of the spark plugs ok? (Too rich or too lean a mixture maybe).
I would also lift the bonnet and get someone else to turn the engine over in the dark and look carefully to see if any of the plugs are shorting out to the engine casing.
Hope this helps.

1990 5 speed Honda Accord DX 2 cylinders wont fire

Could be head gasket or piston rings. Piston ring issues will smoke under load or when revving the engine.

Do a compression test.
