Default 07 Accord engine turns but wont start every time

I have a 07 accord I bought less than a year ago, never really had any trouble... one day I go out and the car wont start. It turns, the battery is fine I can listen to the radio... and when I stepped on the gas a few times and turn the key over again it started went to the store and had the same problem... only took a few more times stepping on the gas. Drove back home and now it wont start. I tried jumping it and also checked to see if the fuel sensor turned on when I put the key into the 2nd position, it did and the jump did nothing. Can some one please help

I am not sure about the 07 model but I would assume things didn't change that much. It sounds like the igniter is going in your distributor possibly. I had the same issue with my 2001 and my 1999 and that fixed the intermittent start problems. The other item that may be the issue is your Main Relay which is under the dash. Apparently on very hot or very cold days the solder connections and board can expand and cause the intermittent starting issues. There is a YouTube video with ErictheCarGuy that shows how he fixes it instead of replacing if you are interested. Anyway, just my thoughts and good luck.

The '07 are COP.

OP - I know I might be splitting hairs but I would like to know. When you say "no start".

Does the starter spin the engine but it won't run or does the starter not do anything?
