There are several possibilities. The best place to start would be to do a
complete tune-up. If your friend does not know how to do it, he should
have his favorite local mechanic or the local Honda shop mechanics do it.
If he does not want to do that--tell him to go to a auto parts store like
Auto Zone and get a can of chemicals that he pours into a full tank. The
chemicals clean all items related to the fuel system--especially the
injectors that can easily get clogged and cause all sorts of problems.
