whitering: If it were my car: 1) Pull codes if any. Sometimes codes are not thrown. 2) Do I have gasoline? 3) What work did I do last? 4) Check cables? 5) Check for spark? There are modern methods to check for spark. 6) Enough voltage. 4 Likes |

Does the car roll but not start? Have you checked the fuel pump? I hate mechanics that replace car parts recklessly. 7 Likes |

Buy a can of raid aerosol, open the air box where the engine air filter goes have someone start the engine while you spray some raid onto the engine through the air box of the engine start for a second it means your field pump is not running check the relay. You need air fuel and spark for engine to run, since you are still breathing it means you have air, the above test is for fuel if it runs it means you have spark no fuel, of it doesn't it means you added fuel but the car has no spark so you look at the coils and your camshaft crankshaft sensors ( your scan will tell you). Sine you drove to your location and engine only failed to restart I will say check timing belt after the aerosol test which you can do on your own. Anti theft too could be active. Good luck my brother 3 Likes |

whitering:it is inside the engine and controls timing(cordination between fuel injection,air intake,spark and piston settings). It is very important.if it has slipped off,the car can't start until it is re-fitted. Does the engine crank? |

whitering: Stop doing trial and error on your vehicle. You need a competent auto workshop to have that vehicle thoroughly checked. Since you are around Lekki/Ajah axis, why not contact radautoworks. I believe they should be able to sort you out. 5 Likes |

Air, Spark, Timing, Compression, Fuel all could stop your car from starting. I don't think you should keep throwing parts at it 1 Like |

Hoodbilonia: Benz is more notorious for the no start. I have seen Benz do that severally and it boils down to replacing and reprogramming the key. This Acura may be of same problem. Not every mechanic knows. My mum bought a Mazda 232f, the engine failed but mechanics messed up the entire car trying to find spark and fuel. They didnt know that an electrician already immobilized the ECU. |

So you've found all these parts and have them all changed yesterday...and the problem still exist. I suggest you go to a competent shop. Someone recommended one....stop throwing money around since the problem may be really simple and inexpensive to fix.The more your mechanics try to solve the problems...I can bet my life the more problems they will be creating. 3 Likes |

whitering: Have that vehicle scanned . . . Or looked at by a professional . . . If no codes are thrown, the engineer will try to simulate the condition; that would make the codes pop if that still doesn't work, then the problem will be fixed by elimination 2 Likes |

whitering:You have continually failed to answer a vital question that has been asked in many forms. Does the car roll at all when you attempt to start it? |
Re: Help! I Was Stranded Yesterday My Acura MDX 2007 Refused Start. by whitering: 10:08pm On Nov 11, 2018 |
cyborg123: Yes it does. But won't start. |

whitering:Ok. How was the fuel pump tested. Did the mechanic check fuel pressure and take the voltage at the terminals of the pump? We need to rule out the fuel pump before checking for spark and then... timing belt in my opinion. |
