HONDA ACCORD

I have a Honda Accord 95. The problem is : If I leave my car overnight or go to shopping for a while or a couple hours, It is hard to start the car, Once It get started, then I turn off, I restart, It starts normally like nothing wrong with my car. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my car please, have a good day.

Sounds a little like the fuel pressure drops and you might look for a leak in the system. Possible cause is an injector leaking.

Nothing to do with fuel. Its your battery / alternator. Chances are the alternator is draining the battery. Try turning the car on and leave it running. After 30 sec, remove the batter line (+). If the car dies, you got a bad alternator, if it runs alternator is good and possibly battery.=)

What do you meant by this:, It is hard to start the car

Is it turning over and refuses to start or at times nothing happens when attempting to start.

Here's what you can do, use a voltmeter read the battery voltage before you start it up-record reading, Now start the vehicle read the voltage again if it increases over 2volts the Alty is a okay.

Battery self drain and parastic drain is a different issue. And maybe it could be it if it has a problem cranking over.

Now if it cranks over and having a hard time starting I recommend you check the fuel pressure-bear in mind without the proper fuel pressure it will not start. Furthermore they are sensors involved telling the computer what to do during the open loop feedback before it switches to closed loop.

In my Rasmataz's book fuel comes before ignition so check it out as recommended.

HTH Good Luck
