RTM.3: all ecu activate pump cranking and running.4: now check pressure. !" 36 psi FSM stated spec"5: now crank, if the ECU sees no spark errors, it injects6: if the ECU sees WOT. it stops injection to clear a flood, cranking.those rules cover most ECU made.honda this year has a special feature called,Fuel Cut-Off Control'if this messes up, it i can cut fueldoes this help?even better is this site, (has all the facts..)http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=810101

have you checked the head gasket. oil with gunk on the cap. water when standing have a film on it. gray or black smoke coming out of the exhaust... the thermostat been replaced ??? need to check these. dont keep throwing money at it. in the end you can change every thing and cost you a fortune. then find out it was something that just cost a few dollers or pounds.

are you talking about your remote control? or button on your driver side? have you checked the FUse box?

Not all cars have a block heater.....not to be confused with heater core..2different thing.. If you do indeed have a block heater, pop your hood, and look for a standard electrical plug somewhere...follow it to where it goes into the engine block...youve now found your block heater

Wow, hope all this was not done to fix this problem? If the problem showed up after the timing belt, I would say the timing belt is a tooth off. If it broke a timing belt, a valve might be bent. If all this was done to solve this problem, you need to find a better mechanic to diagnose it.

The ignition switch in the column most likely has a break in it. So when you move the steering wheel, it moves the wire so it completes the connection when you turn the key. Have the ignition switch replaced.

use key to get in.check battery in remote and change it.It should work.

first thing to do is check the transmission fluid level should be a dipstick at the front or back of trans

I owned the SAME CAR. Love it except when the Distributor went south. You can not tell if the spark is good enough... you can have a Spark on the outside but the compression will require a much stronger spark.If they put the Distributor in wrong, then you will have an issue.IF the Timing Belt was moved, then you are going to be fighting this for a while. Best to Start from Scratch with a Good Mechanic and see where it leads you.If you spray Ether into the Air Box, does the car start? No Start, you have a SPARK ISSUE. STARTS, you have a Fuel Deliver IssueTHE DISTRIBUTOR's are KNOWN to be defective,... Mine was intermittent but when I finally dropped the $225 on a distributor, all of my problems went away. Did they cross the Spark Plug wires and that is causing your issue? Check the Firing Order. Test your Fuel Injectors.. Use a NOIDS LIGHT

pcv valve is leaking or faulty it is on the valve cover

The Common Problem Will Be The Switch Because I Just Replaced Mine In My 92 VX
