Starts when cold but after turning it off it won't start

Honda Accord 1996  35000 miles
When I start the car when cold I have no problem, but if I'm driving and after a while I turn it off it's really hard to make it start. Can somebody help me?

Hey rafa, your problem is the main relay. I had the same problem and after changing it the problem was fixed.
DICK from United States 9 years ago
Tony montana, I have the same problem. Which relay are you referring to and where is it located?
Gum from United States 9 years ago
It's called main relay, and it's located on the driver's side, under the dashboard, attached to the chassis, it's like a small box

Vehicle stalls during driving, sometimes it won't start, engine light

Honda Accord 2009 2.4L EX-L 261000 miles
Vehicle has 261,000. It shows very erratic behaviour. - Sometimes it won't start. - Sometimes it will start and run but it later stalls and engine will shut off while driving; the immobilizer light [green key] comes on blinking when car stalls, but then it disappears once the key is turned to 0 and then car will start again. - It shows an engine light which disappears all of the sudden just to re-appear later on. The codes are always P060A and P1659. - It just recently started showing also other codes, such as: P0498, P2118, P062F, P2610, and P2118. - I have replaced almost every relay an… Read complete

Valaraukar68 from United States 9 months ago
Main relay under the left side of the dash is interconnected with the Immobilizer system and the relay from Honda is a well known issue as it can heat up which causes the solder to crack causing the relay to eventually fail and in the meantime behave erratically. Seriously, everything that has happened to you guys has happened to me, including it cutting off while I was doing 8 in the fast lane surrounded by rush hour traffic and nearly died wrestling the no longer power steering wheel to the shoulder. Waiting 10 sometimes works but I’m not really buying into that because I read on a forum post about the relay problem and that in the meantime you can try smacking the cover of the fuse box with the faulty relay inside. It located under the dashboard and actually on the side wall of the car. You have to remove the panel under the steering column to get access to that specific box, it is not the regular box on the right side imbedded into the center of the dashboard where all of the control fuse for lights and crap are. I’ve been employing the foot tap method for 5 straight days, in the heat (because it seems to be worse and will start less if it’s hot outside) and it works every single time. I feel like Fonzie. I’m sure there’s more to it than that but regardless, I need my car to start as well as to not endanger my life by cutting off everything whilst exceeding the speed limit so I don’t get run over by my fellow drivers, because California, and all I can say is that as silly as it sounds, it’s effective in employing some sort of og magic and raising my temperamental ride from the recently dead.

Hi,can you please send a picture of this relay and location, or the part number? I have the SAME issues with my 2008 Accord and have stuck so many parts and money into it already and I am about to give up. Please help. Thank you :)
Valaraukar68 from United States 7 months ago
@mnldianI’m unable to get to my car atm but my magic spot, and it is a spot, not an area, is under the driver side dash but on the side wall on the left right up where the two meet. I just lift my foot and flick it against the cover there and bang! every time! Still! I know it’s hinky, but it works after a year’s worth of wrong information and advice, and I’m confident that eventually whatever is wrong with the relay(the crap factory soldering is supposed to be the main culprit) will get worse and I’ll have to replace it, or it could something completely different. All I know is some mechanic mentioned it in YouTube video and I gave it a try without hope in my heart as I had been let down repeatedly, only to have it work then and always, so far. I am and anyone else who tries it should be aware and paying attention all the time while driving because it can still cut out, but only has once and I put the car in neutral and restarted it immediately after a quick tap with my foot, but for a second there I was wrassling with a 2K automobile, in traffic and without power and most importantly, power steering, but all’s well that ends well.
mnldian from United States 7 months ago
@Valaraukar68I will take a look, just wondering what relay it might be. Thank you.
Valaraukar68 from United States 7 months ago
@mnldianIt’s the main relay, and you can google the diagram for your particular Honda. Mine is a ‘98, so things may be in a different place inside the cabin.
Carl from United States 6 months ago
@mnldianPart number 25033 fuel pump relay, this is the only relay you will have NO issues with, the only one that has been working for years, before this I changed 3 different fuel pump relays on my Honda 2008

Turns over but won't start

Honda Accord 2000 4door 210000 miles
Car turns over but but won't start even with starting fluid
Jimf from United States a year ago

3 reports 
Bruce from United States a year ago
If the car turns over but won't start even with the use of starting fluid, it could be a problem with the fuel system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the fuel pump. The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine. If the fuel pump is not functioning properly, it can cause starting problems. You can check the fuel pump by listening for a humming noise when the key is turned to the "on" position. If you don't hear a humming noise, it could indicate a problem with the fuel pump.
Check the fuel filter. The fuel filter is responsible for removing contaminants from the fuel. If the fuel filter is clogged, it can cause starting problems. You can check the fuel filter by inspecting it for any visible damage or debris.
Check the fuel pressure. The fuel pressure should be within a certain range for the engine to start. If the fuel pressure is too low, it can cause starting problems. You can check the fuel pressure by using a fuel pressure gauge.
Check the spark plugs. The spark plugs are responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine. If the spark plugs are fouled or not functioning properly, it can cause starting problems. You can check the spark plugs by inspecting them for any visible damage or wear.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

Won't start

Honda Accord 2015 4.3 138000 miles
My 2015 accord sport was running fine then the next day I went to start it and it crank up then spit and sputtered before dying and wouldn't crank back up. I had water in my gas tank so drained it and added new gas still nothing... The main chip in my ECU turned out to be damaged so got a new one but the car won't communicate with it. The honda dealership says it's acting like it's been struck by lighting which it hasn't... any suggestions??

Not starting

Honda Accord 2015 Accord/V6 15000 miles
Recently the car began to hesitate starting when I pushed the button. Like the battery was starting to get weak. Then it would not start at all. Dash lights would flash twice then everything goes out. Dealer replaced a module on the battery + wire connection and paperwork said it had a service bulletin on it. Two days later it did it again and dealer said new part drained the battery. They replaced the battery. We shall see what happens but I am losing confidence.

Car wouldn't start until I added engine oil.

Honda Accord 1997 Accord 4cyl 175000 miles
So after work I tried to start my car and it would turn over but not start. I tried multiple times with no luck. My brother in law ended up coming to help me. I told him it could be low on oil. So he added a little oil and it almost started. So he added a little more oil and it started right up. So I drove it home. My Dad checked the oil after I got home and he said it is overfilled with oil. Which doesn't make sense because it sounds good and is running good. Would this be a good indication that the sensor that checks the oil level is bad? Any suggestions are appreciated. I had recently replaced the radiator. Changed the oil, filter, air filter, atf and the battery is great.

Since the car was dying and starting at the same intervals, I figured it was heat related. And since there was no fire when it would die, I figured it was either the ecu or something in the distributor. I went with the cheapest of the two and changed the whole distributor seeing as how the distributor life was 150,000 miles anyway. Not sure exactly what it was that was getting hot and shutting down, but it fixed my problem.

Problems while trying to start the car

Honda Accord 2000  100000 miles
When I try to start the car I see a light and a flashing green key, and then the car won't start. Later I come back and if the light doesn't flash, the it starts; it does this very frequently. Any idea on what it could be? I spent money on scanners and tests, but nothing yet.

Green Key on cluster blinks

Honda Accord 2005 Accord V-6 Sedan 147000 miles
Hello, I purchased a 2005 Honda Accord V-6, previous owner had to have new key with chip replaced & had it programmed. Ok, car ran nice for approximately 4 days, no problems. Battery went dead, purchased a new one. Now, cannot start vehicle because the factory alarm (Green Key blinks) on cluster. Checked all fuses, tried all recommended trouble shooting tips to NO success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Sincerely, Dude with Accord that won't start.

2013 Honda Accord sport won’t start

Honda Accord 2013  88000 miles
This car will not start as soon as you turn the key. I even had the key replaced. The best odds are after the blue tooth connection comes up on the screen and then it will start sometimes. I’m afraid in an emergency I won’t be able to start my car and escape. We just got this car used from a dealer 3 months ago. It’s been an ongoing problem.

Thermometer keeps getting stuck + mysterious knocking noise rear door

Honda Accord 2018 Sport, 1.5T 8000 miles
Been back to the dealership 4 times and am scheduled for a 5th later this week to resolve these issues.
Thermometer seems to keep getting stuck. Doesn't matter if I just started the car or if I've been on the road for hours. It randomly gets stuck. Not a big problem except I know the thermometer is connected to the A/C and has an impact on cooling.
The knock seems to come from the rear passenger door area. I'm not 100% sure because I'm driving when I hear it. The dealer's adjusted, tweaked and even added foam but the knock keeps coming back.

Anyone out there experience the same and what was the fix...?

I love the car otherwise but I'm starting to lose my patience with it.

Thanks

2010 Accord LX problem

Honda Accord 2010 LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. There is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again but honda refuses a recall although there have been numerous complaints about this issue.

Honda Accord 2013 EX-L Coupe 2.4L CVT
I purchased my 2013 honda november of 2013 at rock honda in fontana, ca. When i first purchased the vehicle it had to be jump started, which i thought was from the car sitting so long & it being so cold. (this should have sent a red flag). After a few months & then the car began to act like it did not want to start. I was then stranded on the freeway. I called honda care. The first driver came to my car took two minutes tried to start it, said there was something else wrong (as he was rushing & did not have time to look) he asked to use my phone charger, left my hood up (which caus… Read complete

2013 Accord CVT problems

Honda Accord 2013 Sport Sedan 2.4L CVT 59209 miles
I have a honda accord 2013 (just 2 years old) with 59209 miles on it. Car sometimes clicks and will not start. Sometime it will start after about 5 to 10 tries, or waiting for a while. Sometimes the car starts fine on the first try. I talked to honda of america on 7/20/2015 and they said it might be the starter or ignition going bad and should be covered under the 5 year/60k power train warranty. I took it to the dealer yesterday and they diagnosed it to the starter motor and replaced it and said that it is not covered under the power train warranty.

When i started my car today i got a blinking light on the dash that looked like a battery. I looked it up in the owner's manual and it said "battery not charging" and to "contact the dealer immediately for repairs". I'll call them tomorrow. About a month ago, my car wouldn't start. I had to get it jumped and later took it in. They replaced an under dash relay. My car has been ok otherwise.

It is cutting off my circulation and my foot goes numb. I have a knee replacement and can not get my leg straight enough so my knee does not start to hurt. Between the numbness and the knee pain i am afraid of having an accident due to the angle of the seat. I have tried all sorts of pillows, etc. Does not help. If i replace the seat with one that will shift to a right angle it will void the warranty, so will putting a wedge… Read complete

There is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again.

Purchased 2009 honda accord in oct. 2008. At around 15k miles, the brakes staring squeaking and making loud noise in the rear brakes. I thought it was something loose back there and kept driving. Then around 24k miles the noise came back and was unbearable. Took to dealership complained brakes wore out too quickly. Said it was normal wear and tear and i had to replace brake pads and resurface rotors. Paid $130. 00, dealer gave free pads, but made me pay to resurface rotors. Told me the front brakes will have to be replaced soon cause car shakes when braking, rotors need immediate resurfacing. If i didn't take in asap, this could of cause an accident due to me being out of town when problems starting to occur. *tr

Issues Accord

Honda Accord 2013
Car had intermittent starting problems. Turned the key multiple times and just heard clicks. Engine does not crank. Would not start while running errands and had to push it to a nearby garage. They replaced the starter and it never had the problem again. Car had just passed 36k and american honda will not reimburse for the work done because it was not a honda dealership, but it was oem starter. Bad starters on these cars. Honda should be accountable for this as the car is only 2 years old. Significantly below the average life of a starter. Unacceptable...
