mine is the 06 model and I get worse gas mileage. Full tank with or without Ac, I average between 170 to 200 miles. On Scotty kilmer youtube channel he said that the 2003 to 2013 v6 especially the accord model gets worse gas mileage as the car ages

Scott talks shit sometimes..

I have a 2003 Accord v6 and I still get 350 miles to a full tank on it.. It was guzzling fuel like yours until I discovered that the EVAP system was faulty..As soon as I disconnected the evap purge valve, mpg jumped to almost double.. Black soot in tailpipe disappeared..Now I get 5 miles per litre steady while driving in town.


While your car is on, open your fuel tank cover.. If there is a gush of air from there and the car goes off, you have a Faulty evap system that's feeding your car engine too much air, which causes the ECU to feed the engine excess fuel to meet up that air demand...Also hard starting just after buying fuel is a symptom of EVAP problems.. Good thing is that a simple disconnection of the EVAP purge valve solves the issue, without any consequence to performance.. In fact, the Accord felt much lighter and faster after that disconnection... These days, I use the Accord as much as I use my other car, even though that one costs thrice or four times the market value of the Accord.


Also have a mech check if your brakes are binding.. Binding brakes also significantly affect fuel consumption.

men nor be small thing oh. I suspect 170 to 200 mpg. From my calculations. You can keep records from my other thread.

If fuel price go up to 600 na serious problem oh. Car de chop money.

please update is this work for you.

I don't get hard start after buying fuel. But recently I start smelling something like fuel inside the car when driving either with air conditioner or not.

Please try this and let us know.

osato45:
Yes it's for me. The fuel smell you perceive could be from leaks in the engine bay. When you observe that smell, park and examine underneath of your car from front to back as well as the engine bay, the booth were the fuel pump is. Or better still ask your mechanic to check it out.

AutoManual:
its from the engine bay. it cannot be from the boot. the smell is not hash. but just slit. if your nose is not sensitve you wont notice. i have check then engine nothing. it might be the steering pump fluid though that pour there. you know air from the hood find there way into the car when driving om speed.

AutoManual:
what do you mean by disconnect the evap value? Please come clean step by step. Did you replace it? If you mean disconnect how did you disconnect it? And a picture of the thing and where it's located can help. Thanks

The first picture below is where the EVAP Purge valve is...it is the thing connected to the red hose.. Yours might not be a red hose tho...sha get the point


The 2nd picture shows where the red hose connects to the engine.. You can either choose to block off the hose at this engine point, or like I did, remove the red hose from that valve, chook nylon inside to sufficiently block it, and then reconnect it to the valve for appearance purposes


My own accord has a 3.2litre Acura engine and gearbox tho. But the location of the purge valve is similar to that of the normal eod v6 engine.. In any case, the valve has a label on it, so it shouldn't be hard for you to find

AutoManual:


After you block that place. Did you have anything like check engine light before you did it. Also did you have check engine light after you did it?

buygala:

There was b4 and after..

There is a procedure to do it of you don't want the check engine light.. Search on Youtube

AutoManual:


If you will be kind to share. What where the 4 code. Before and after?

buygala:


No, I will not be kind to share..


Do your research just like I did

AutoManual:

Good evening House.
Can someone please recommend a "Good quality" oil filter for my Honda Odyssey 2001?

The ones I saw yesterday(Honda brand) in the market are sold for just 1k and I know it's not original so I didn't buy.

I need to service my car ASAP!
