Accord V6

  • Automatic transmission

The car wouldn't start after being parked at work all day. I couldn't replicate the problem anywhere but there. It happened about twice a week. Finally, we determined that it was on hot or humid days that it was happening, and since it was parked in the middle of a lot, the heat was worse. The mechanic at the dealership said the relay switch on the fuel pumps were known to be affected by the heat. We changed it and it hasn't happened again since. It is a very easy fix since the fuel pump is accessible under a plate in the trunk. The part was only about $100. Better than the $300 to $400 for a new pump.

Update from Nov 10, 2009: Here we are in the middle of November 2009 and the car has not had the problem since we changed the fuel pump relay. I received a couple of e-mails from people asking if the problem was fixed, but for some reason, the system would not allow me to answer them, so I figured this should do it. It seems the problem was definitely that relay and when this problem occurs during extreme temps or temp changes, I would say try this first. It is an easy fix for anyone who knows what they're doing and a relatively cheap one to have a shop do for you. Hope this helps everyone.

Accord EX-V6 V6

I have found that this intermittent problem seems to be happening on humid days. Engine cranks, but will not start. I have removed the coil & plugs, one at a time & ground them on the manifold. When the engine is working correctly, it will start, even with one of the plugs removed. It is getting fuel as the plugs are moist.

Accord EX 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

Engine of 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 will crank several times but will not start. Tends to occur when temperatures dramatically change, specifically in cold weather. Upon being towed to repair shop, problem could not be diagnosed because it magically started when there. Had main ignition relay replaced and car ran for a couple of weeks. Problem has occurred again, for the 3rd time now. Very unreliable and inconvenient. The following is work that has been done

Always on time for oil change, scheduled maint., etc...
Battery replaced only 4 months ago)
Have had all cables, plugs, and wires, connections inspected
Full transmission replaced at 80,000
