Good morning boss.
My 07 accord V6 hv learn bad character. I noticed that the car starts fine in the mornings but during the heat of the day or after driving for a long time, it won't start but all the dashboard lights will come on, however if I let it cool down for abt 30mins, it will start and work fine like no wahala. My mechanic thinks it's the kick starter, my electrician thinks kick starter is fine as the car starts fine wen the kick is bridged wit a wire connecting to the ba3 terminal (it's a pretty new ba3, abt a month old). Electrician still can't isolated the cause of the occasional failure to start. No error codes on the dash and my "baby scanner" doesn't pick anything either. I'm taking it in for further diagnosis tmrrw tho. Any ideas?

@Gazzuzz and other experts in the house.

Please between Honda Baby Boy, Toyota Camry tiny ligh/drop light and Toyota Sienna of same year, which is easier to maintain vis-a-vis fuel consumption, spare parts, etc. Every other thing being equal.

camry 1998- 2001

You will need a high end Scanner to see if the engine ecu is receiving a start command. Pls visit a Tech that uses a high end Diagnostic tool.

Oga Gazzuzz. I noticed you use the launch creader scanner. I believe it is quite costly now.
My question is, all this other cheap scanners advertised here, are they any good? Can one get something reasonable out of them?
Thanks very much

They will read same thing

Interesting case. ..I would start by finding out if your case is isolated or if anyone else has experienced this.

I recall reading somewhere of an accord that would have intermittent total failure of electronics, as in the vehicle will totally shut down but I didn't read the details just the headline.

Will look it up and compare.

I was very busy with my hustle today so i couldnt go for the diagnosis as planned. Interestingly the car behaved itself today. I remember praying silently when i went to buy fuel. I still dey observe.

If you buy foreign used, they usually last very long, you should also use very good brake oil e.g ATE, they are not corrosive to the rubbers inside the brake master.

New after market also works very well, at least I know of a 5year old after market part still functional.

just ensure you have the right diagnosis.

A faulty ABS Pump could also give same symptoms.

I'm no expert in cars like Gazzuzz but....
My car, a Mazda MPV had a similar issue though mine was mostly after the car had sat idle for some hours during the day or overnight. It would eventually start after a while of continuous cranking but would cough terribly & shudder before eventually starting. The auto electrician diagnosed that it was "cold start" (coolant temperature) sensor which was changed. The issue still persisted for a little while after the sensor change but suddenly I noticed that it had stopped completely.
This is my personal experience.

cheesy. Maybe you should create thread on the cars you support too. Ford explorer 2003 not supported, Toyota Avalon not supported etc. We wish to know what exactly will be supported so that we will have you to take care of our cars without worries. Thanks.
