2009 Accord LX 2.4 4 cyl Crank - No Start
I've already tried a lot. Replaced quite a few parts. Here's where I am at. I
have fuel pressure. I have spark at the coil. It sounds like I have good
compression. I have no spark at the plug(fuel on firing area of all 4 plugs). I
have no misfires, backfires, or a check engine light. I have communication
with the computer(the check engine light comes on when I turn the key to on
and then goes off). I show rpms when cranking. My green key light is not
flashing. My car shows that I am in park. After three days of cranking when I
had hoped I had fixed it, the battery finally started to give up and I had to
jump it to crank again, this also did not help, but it did rule out a weak
battery. The car did not die on me while driving, I drove it home turned it off,
got up the next day and had the crank no start. The car has 210k miles on it
and the vtc actuator had been rattling for about 10k miles on only the first
start up of the day. A stretched chain would have caused noticeable issues
prior to this condition that the car is currently in. A broken chain would have
killed it on the spot. Crank sensor would have turned off the car mid drive
and kicked the check engine light on. Cam position sensors would have
kicked a check engine light on. The fuel pump relay would have possibly
kicked the check engine light on, however, i replaced the fuel pump because
i feared a weak pump right away as I could barely hear the old one. Put the
new pump in and disconnected the line at the rail and shot fuel out of the
engine compartment when turning the key to on with the new pump.
Changed the sensors, crank, cam A and cam B. No change, I'm still sitting
here with a crank-no start. Tried the spare key to no avail. Checked every
fuse, all of them, because......well, I was bored because I didn't know what to
do. Tried some more things, grounded the negative battery terminal to the
block, no change. Cleaned up the ground wire on the negative terminal of
the battery eventhough it had no noticeable defects. Checked the hot on the
plugs of the coils with the key turned to on, had good volts. I'm lost here. The
only thing I'm left with is possibly I'm out of timing through a stretched chain
that is somehow not causing a misfire or throwing a code. Or maybe I have
an ignition switch issue or an ignition coil issue, anyone have ideas on how
to test that?
