I have a 2001 Honda Coupe EX V6. I been getting frustrated with this problem. It has been working fine until December in the cold weather. I thought it was the cold weather from the beginning which it could be but I have no idea. I change the battery and check if the alternator was good which I went to O Reilly and they check it for me. THey say everything is good now i just don't know exactly what the problem is. I even try to buy teh starter fluid taht was suppose to help start engine in cold weather, i can hear its workign a little bit but didnt crank up the engine. Can anyone please help me?

 

I can understand you are frustrated; would you please clarify the problem further.
Does the engine turn over [crank] but not start?
Does the engine crank too slow to start the engine?
You turn the key to the crank position and nothing happens?

 

The engine crank but didn't start. I had a hard time starting it this mourning but like around noon when the weather warms up, it starts fine. I went to autozone to check the engine check error if there was any but everything is fine.

 

okay, try this little trick; turn on the key for 10 seconds before cranking.
This allows the fuel pump to build full pressure and the injectors spray a better 'mist' that allows for easy ignition of the fuel.
But on the other hand I've seen some bad injectors on those engines that need to be found with a leakdown test.

 

thanks man i'll try to do that

 

I try a little trick that you told me and it still didn't work. My engine was cracking which sounds like it was going to start fine but it didn't. It almost did when i add the starter fluid. My friend told me it could be the fuel injector clogged or the filter, do you think that might be it?

 

could be the fuel pressure regulator? some v6 accords have an issue when gas is formulated for cold weather and it happens to be abnormally warm, the fuel boils at a differnet temp which causes bucking, stalling, no start. just an idea. occurs alot in snow belt states.

 

aite im going to check on that thanks

 

i never really have the time to actually fix up teh fuel regulator, since its been warm weather my car been starting fine. Before january comes up and i know it will be cold, can you give me step by step to do the fuel regulator? Me and my friend will try to fix the car, (my friend is actually learning to be a mechanic in ford and he have some experience.)
