2006 Accord won't start mystery
Got my 06 Accord V6 EX on March-14, it refused to start right after we drove
25miles back from dealer lot. Someone recommended the "flood" way described in manual, and it worked. At end of April, the car did the same thing again. We tried the same solution but it did not work that time. So, the less than two months new car was towed to a local Honda dealer. The dealer could not find any problem except reported that it seems flooded--too much gas on ignition. It seems that my flood way did make the ignition wet and it left the only sign of not starting. Computer scan can not find anything wrong! Still a mystery, why my 06 refused to start occasionally. Yes, it is under warranty but I lost confidence on this 06. I will not drive it more than 20miles from home in case it needs towing again. The tow truck guy said he had seen "many" new Accord having similar symptons. The dealer asked if I drove only a few feet (say from garage to driveway) because he saw the same problem on some cars and they all pointed to that common possible reason. Well, my case is definitely different. One tome drove 3 miles non-stop, the second time drove 7 to 8 miles. No sign of failure before it happened, engine ran smoothly and powerful. No idea and never expected it will refuse to start while it was running great just few minutes/one hour ago... Any idea, anyone experienced similar problem here? |

I guess that is how they get to ultra low emissions. :)

It appears to me to be a fuel flow problem or a problem related to those electrical items that have an effect upon the fuel flow. Since the vehicle is under warranty, take it back to the dealer and request that they have a mechanic check every item related to fuel flow. Ask for a full report such as the condition of the fuel pump, main relay , injectors, wiring, fuel pressure. You may want to check this site to see if there were similar issues with your car and the 2005 6 cyld.

Re: 2006 Accord won't start mystery
Sounds like a fuel injector is leaking. Had this problem on my Rodeo years
ago. Once the injector was replaced, all was well for years.
