A rough running 2006 Honda Accord hard to start didn’t mean the battery or starter had a defect; rather, the engine speed took a short while to climb to normal.
Every so often we run into the problem of not having a problem to solve. What do we do when we have a vehicle that is not setting codes, but it is also not running OBD II monitors. They need to run so the car can pass our state inspection program. Well, this Honda gave us plenty not to solve, so how did we do it?
I received a distress call from a body shop for a complaint of a no-start on a 2006 Honda Civic. The shop had just finished working on the vehicle and decided to detail the car for the owner as a courtesy. The car was running prior to the battery going dead and now the shop was married to a no-start condition.
One of my main income-generating activities involves ‘routine’ maintenance services on Hondas
In previous articles we discussed electrical troubleshooting techniques for measuring circuit voltages and voltage drops using a DMM. We also discussed using a DMM to measure resistance. But let’s not get so focused on the theory of DMM’s and voltage and...
When we talk about CV joint service, it’s usually just a matter of deciding when to replace a cracked boot or a noisy joint. Customers rarely spot a CV joint problem for them-selves, unless they drive until a damaged joint fails completely and disables the vehicle....
It’s the descendant oft eh D-Jet fuel injection system and the electromechanically simplest form of fuel injection currently in manufacture – simplest, that is, if you don’t count the system’s software operations as electromechanical.
Some of the mistakes and omissions I've run across, as well as detailing the trickier dance steps to help you turn out quality Honda brake work. When it comes to doing a quality brake service on Hondas, some folks are tripping over their tap shoes. How much difficulty...
Honda’s Linear Air/Fuel Sensor lets the engine sometimes run on extremely lean air-fuel mixtures for fuel economy. But how does it work, and how did they avoid the emissions problem of NOX? In an odd way, they’re the oldest of the ‘new’ oxy-gen sensors. Honda...
Last month we examined the behavior of a failed TW sensor on a 1991 Honda Civic. This month we’ll add a few more details to the diagnosis, and explain the other components that make this system tick. How do the injectors and main relay work? Which injectors fire...
