Srart probem
Hi: I own a 2004 Accord with 37.000 miles on it,up to know i had no problems at all:
Since I boght the car I alwasy use Arco gasiline the 87 octanane, 2 day ago i used another brand of gas i beleive it was Shell (i put $5.00)
Afterher that the car wont start right away it takes abot 6 or 7 cranks of the start before it starts, is this related to the change of gasoline?
I was looking for answers here in the forum and somebody mentioned somenthing about "fuel pressure leaking dow" or the chk valve in the fuel pump not holding the pressure
Is possible that that is my problem? with the miles i got on the car? Is this a common problem w/the Accord?.
TIA
Miguel

RE: Srart probem
If you got some bad gas it's possible that's your issue. There may have been condensation or something in the fuel.... it seems suspecious to me that it started doing that right after you add some "different" gas. I'd try putting a bottle of "heat" in it (water removing junk) and if after that you have the same issue put in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner with the next tank of gas, if the issue persists after that you could have your fuel pressure checked but I'd start cheap first, try the treatments for fuel in the water/bad fuel additive stuff, then the injector cleaner before you waste your money at a shop....

try the dealer as well,you are only 1k out of warranty
tell them that you have been having this issue for a while and it is getting worse and worse
thay might do it totally under warranty
