Honda Car Forum

ALL HONDAS have the best starting systems in the world.

If the car has problems starting, it can only be
the rotor piece that spins around in side the distributor cap
is burnt out and needs to be replaced for $15. The dealers will never
tell you this, not even mechanics, cause they charge $100+ and fabricate
some ****ing bogus engine problem to make money.

Get original honda, which is copper metal, OEMs usually nickel and less
conductive for racers, and driving in general. I don't notice a difference,
but copper might burn out faster? From a physics perspective, will need to
check the conductivity lives of copper versus nickel. But I'm probably
right.

This or your gas is frozen in the winter? pour a bottle rubbing alcohol or
ethanol into the tank and all will be fine.

Rubbing alcohol is 40% WATER. It's used for rubbing. I think you meant
to say Methyl alcohol, or just run a tank of gaasohol thru it.

A Honda will also fail to start in the morning if an injector is leaking
and flooding the engine overnight. The User Manual explains the solution
for 'flooded Engine' in the part about 'starting the engine'. The first
clue is when the fuel pump runs for about 5 seconds while performing the
Lamp Check. The second clue: It won't start unless you hold the gas
pedal to the floor.

Was this post a reply to somebody elses question ? ? It seems to be a
'random revelation' . .

I was going to post something similar. Rubbing alcohol is Iso-Porpyl
Alcohol, (=Isopropanol). It does not inherently have water in it, but
the kind that you find at the drug store usually is listed as 70%
isopropanol and 30% water. The best I have found is 91% isopropanol / 9%
water.

Original Equipment Manufacturer

i.e. Real Honda Parts

Oh, I know.
I was wondering what the aptly named "boner" what on about.

Most "rubbing" alcohol I've seen is 70% alk,and 30% water,and that's why it
will not absorb water.

If you look carefully,you can buy 99% isopropyl alcohol,and that will work
to remove(absorb) water.
