On a vehicle that old checking the cm timing is a good start.
Honda motors need the valves adjusted every 60,000 miles.
If that doesn't help try a blast of starting fluid into the throttle body
Could be a crack/moisture in the distributer. Works when it's dry, fails when it's wet.
By far the most common cause for that in that era Honda is a bad "main" (fuel pump) relay. The solder connections crack, making starting intermittent. Once running the vibration seems to keep it going. Thebax2006's recommendation for starting fluid is a good one - if that makes it fire and keep running I would bet on the main relay.
- 2004 Honda Pilot Cranks but won't start if I press the gas when starting it starts.Engine lights is off,? Maintenance required is on but when I reset the lights turned off and everything works for now? What would be the problem? 1. I'm thinking it is the Timing belts slips 2. Relay maybe lose 3. Crank position sensor lose What would be the reason trying to get opinion and will look into it whatever is the best possible problem.
- My 98 Honda Civic Cranks But Won't Start? One day when I was driving my car my water hose popped off and wet everything underneath my hood. We pulled to the side of the road and put the pipe back on and refilled the water. The next day it started to over heat so I pulled over and let my boyfriend check the water after the car being parked for a little bit It didn't want to turn back on.
- Check engine light turns on for a few days and then turns off for weeks/months? Code P0420 on a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid? Over the last year my check engine light has come on about 3 or 4 times for a few days at a time and then turns off again for a very long period of time. I know the code means my catalytic converter is below threshold but why would it turn off? Could it be something else? Should I look into replacing it or wait it out? Any advice is appreciated!
