I always wait for the PGMFI light to extinguish before turning the key to position 3.scoobyh123 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 8:30 pmWhen you start the car Charles, if you turn the key to position 2 (igniton and other warning lights, no starter action yet), you should see the "PGM-Fi" warning light illuminate for a few seconds and hear the fuel pump hum at the same time.
Do you wait for the PGM-Fi light to go out before turning to position 3 (Start) or do you just turn the key straight to position 3 as soon as you get in?
Have you added any ATF to the engine oil at any time?
Also, when did you last check the HT leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm?
I added some mineral ATF to the engine but I'm aware that fully synthetic would be more suitable.
HT Leads are checked all ok. Rotor Arm, dizzy and coil pack have all been replaced in the last 3/4 months.
Was watching a Youtube vid of a Honda with a blown gasket and the starting issues were pretty much what I've had.
