Happy Sunday folks

I brought in a 2006 Honda Pilot AWD (J35a9 engine) from the US

The car was cleared last week but it has refused to start.
It cranks and cranks but just doesn't start.

Noticed yesterday that the plugs get wet with fuel, changed the brain box but still didn't start (the plugs were still wet with fuel even with 2 brain boxes installed)

Tested the spark plugs for spark and it was orange/red spark, instead of blue or white so we changed the plugs but it still didn't start.

Changed the nozzles and then exchanged the main relay with the one beside it. Car then started and died when I depressed the accelerator.

Since then, car hasn't started again, just keeps cranking.

Scanned the car, no error codes

Brought the car in for my mother-in-law - U guys should help with ideas please, before they take my wife back from me

pick one of the gurus close to you because a physical diagnosis is the best solution to pin point your issues.

I don't know if you have ruled out a security system malfunction

Please, I'm willing to top up coolant on my Lexus ES 350 purchased TOKs. I have no idea which is right to use. I couldn't see any coolant in the reservoir as well to decide what best coolant to buy using colour variation as determinant.

Please help on right to purchase.

the reserve normally gulps 1L just check if the radiator is full to the brim, then buy a can and pour in-between the low and high mark of the reserve tank remember when Engine is hot the reserve tank content would increase

09 corolla, 1.8L 2zr-fe engine. Average of 23mpg city cruise; AC at mid level, fan speed on 2. Funny enough I don't notice much savings on fuel driving without AC.

Makes no difference, even on my Merc. Average of 19-21 litres for every 100km (city driving). It's a 3.2L engine
