Injectors not firing d16z6 del sol

Del.slow1 — Tue, 19 May 2026 13:21:45 GMT

Hey guys all 4 of my injectors stopped firing simultaneously while driving, I have 12v power to the injectors which means it�s not getting signal from ecu. Fuel pump primes and runs, I�m getting good fuel pressure to the rail, pulled rail off and tried to see if injectors would fire and they would not. So I swapped wiring harnesses, swapped Ecu, swapped main relay, checked all fuses, checked all grounds, and everything is good I even swapped injectors thinking maybe something happened and they all fried from a short or something. I am at a loss for what to do and what it could be. I was told maybe to check the wiring coming off the ecu however if I�m not mistaken there are 4 seperate pins for the 4 injectors so it wouldn�t make sense for all 4 to go bad simultaneously. Anybody got any ideas? Car has spark and air, it starts with some starting fluid but only stays running for a few seconds due to injecores not firing. Bone stock d16z6 on hondata

Non- metallic sound at engine bay

honda mech — Wed, 13 May 2026 22:06:46 GMT

Looking for more advice. Used a stethoscope on the power steering pump and belt tensioner and those seem fine.. Went to do a quick 20 ft move and it started making the noise that (seems to be non-metallic) just a whine, that could be at the Left front side of the block and the idle was off until a PCM reset. The belt is all aligned and has tension however, seem sticky and the tensioner has black lines pasted on it. Also. ..Got the recording on MP3 if you would like to hear it I can send it on the next reply. The check engine light was on and recently replaced the alternator with a used one that is a Denzo. Next, is using some permatex dressing on the 40,000 drive/ surpentine belt. I do have a cheap belt and new tensioner to install if needed. Working on a 2004 Pilot with a 3.5 V6.

I bought counterfeit Honda parts on ebay so you don't have to

Rabid — Fri, 08 May 2026 02:57:00 GMT

So I'm looking for a timing chain for my K24z3 engine and the online dealers want around $160. So what do I find on ebay? A whole kit of parts for less than that. And so I dive into the rabbit hole.

First and most obvious is the price. The parts are really really cheap compared to hondapartsnow or others.

Look at the pictures. Can you spot differences in your original part and the listing?

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

One of these is $39.99 and the other is $111.82
The chain with all the marked links is made by Daido of Japan. The first one is made by who the hell knows.
DID is Daido's marking. SCH and SV mean this is a hardened and quiet chain. This is what came in the engine from Honda.
Look at the label on the first one. It's not even trying. And the fun part is the bar code.

I took a screenshot of the label and this is what that barcode reads. GENUINEPARTS
The white HONDA text has been removed in ms paint too.

Notice something? HB1B18 If this is the lot number, every seller on ebay got the same lot!

I rate this chain as legit. But then, I would buy it direct at this price.

Something isn't right...

ohhhh...
At least they tried?

Feedback rating. Scammers usually have less than 1000. Legit sellers have many thousands and good feedback.

Look at their other items. Are they selling lots of parts at "normal" prices? Does each label have different lot numbers?

And yes I did buy from two sellers. To be continued...

Integra reinstalling power steering

Slowdb8 — Wed, 06 May 2026 19:12:10 GMT

Power steering!

Hey all, im reinstalling power steering into my recently purchased integra gsr. The guy had a chase bay ps delete. Im almost done now but the issue is that the electric sockets do not reach each other. The socket from the wiring harness sits higher near the head and the socket from the power steering sits much lower. They are a good 1-1.5� from each other. How do i fix this?

HR-V e:HEV � Recurring electrical failure: 14 system faults, gearbox locked

hondagriason — Fri, 01 May 2026 13:48:44 GMT

Hello, I would like to report a recurring electrical issue on a Honda HR‑V e:HEV (European model) and ask if anyone has experienced similar failures.

Below are only the confirmed facts from both incidents.

Vehicle:

Honda HR‑V Hybrid (e:HEV) � EU model. Purchased new in DEC 2024.

Incident #1 (2025): at about 12000 km

During cold start, the vehicle displayed 14 system faults simultaneously.
The gearbox was locked in P and the vehicle could not start.
After several hours, the vehicle started normally.
All faults disappeared after driving 2�3 km and performing one restart.
The dealer diagnosed an electrical failure in the A/C compressor and replaced the compressor under warranty.
The vehicle remained at the service center for several days.

Incident #2 (April 2026): at about 22000 km

The same 14 system faults appeared again during cold start.
The gearbox was locked in P and the vehicle could not start.
Honda Assist was unable to start the vehicle and told me to tow vhiclee with my responsibility since gear box was locked. I denied.
After several hours, the vehicle started normally.
All faults disappeared again after driving 2�3 km and performing one stop - start..
The dealer replaced the 12V battery under warranty.
No confirmation was provided regarding stored DTCs or the exact cause.
The vehicle remained at the service center for several days.

Both cases covered under guarantee.

Faults displayed (both incidents):

Power System (�Stop driving when safe�)
Electric Parking Brake
Brake System / Brake Hold
Collision Mitigation Braking System
Lane Keeping Assist
Road Departure Mitigation
Low Speed Braking
Vehicle Stability Assist
Hill Start Assist
Hill Descent Control
Adaptive Cruise Control
TPMS
Emissions System
Additional chassis/safety warnings

........Plus gearbox is locked in P, so I cannot start or move car.

Request:

If anyone has experienced the same combination of:

multiple simultaneous system faults,
gearbox locked in P,
faults disappearing after a short drive and restart,
or repeated electrical failures on HR‑V e:HEV,

I would appreciate any information.

Thank you.
