Yes Jonathan, I look all this before coming here... the problem was no compression on all 4 cylinders. We put oil back in the cylenders and the day after the compression came back to 150 and the car running back. may be the gaz drain the oil from the cylenders and make lost of compression.

I have had this happen to me on more than one Honda that I own. The first time it happened it had me scratching my head on what was going on. Checking timing,pulling spark plugs, almost pulled the head on the car. This was my wifes 08 accord with 60K never abused and taken very good care of. This is what I think is happening with the no cold start and cranks like it has no compression. If you start them in cold weather and only run for a short time less than 2 minutes and shut them off. Then letting it sit for a while, they wash the cylinders down. Hold throttle (gas peddle) to floor and crank it till it starts and let off as soon as it starts. My 2012 civic had done t also,
