accord dead
« on: 16 November 2006, 22:35:11 »
Hi Guys,
my mate's accord died on his way from london to Darlington. He lost power as he was cruising. RAC came they had a look, injectors are firing, sparkplugs are firing, engine is cranking, 12V are going to the fuel pump. We checked the inertia switch and it is OK and also the relays seem ok. We assumed it was the fuel pump dead, we bought a new one and changed it few hours ago, no luck though, we can't hear the pump running.
Any ideas will be appreciated!

How old is it - does it have a dizzy rather than coil packs?  Honda had a problem with their dizzy based HT systems with an elctronic 'ignitor initiator' failing.

Yep, but then spark plugs wouldn't fire

Have you checked the fuse for the fuel pump?

Tank is full, the injectors are firing(they receive voltage), the sparkplugs are firing
there is no fuel coming through i think.

I had exactly the same fault once on a Volvo Estate. Fuel injection relay was at fault ( dry joint )
