Check your PCM. I had that issue with my ford ranger. At some point I changed the engine didn't stop. Not until I changed the PCM.

Leave your ignition on for 10seconds before starting in the morning. I believe it should start. And always allow it to run for at least 5 minutes before moving.

Good morning Everyone,

I own a 2004 Honda accord (Scrap EOD), as some of my fellow car owners will call it.

The engine runs fine but I struggle to start it only in the mornings.

Every other hour of the day, the car starts just once as it hits ignition.

Once the car is left in a state of inertia till the next morning, it struggles to start.

I kindly seek the advise of experienced engineers/mechanics on this issue so I can know how to repair or restore.

Thank you smiley
Needs fuel pump change.

I once had a similar issue but with a Toyota corolla.

The issue turned out to be a weak dying battery and a damaged voltage regulator.
Once those were changed the car was fine.

Omo.. See comments that would leave you even more confused than before you asked the question.

I have had that experience.. and it's either of two things

The kick starter bushing has worn out and needs replacement (most likely cause)

Your Battery is weak and needs replacement.

Spray carburettor cleaner at the intake air manifold while the car is ON and if the sound changes just know that the gasket is bad. Simply replace the gasket. I spent more that N100,000 on my Corolla before realising this simple problem. You can thank me later.

Fuel Pump is faulty or filled with dirt

Had this issue with 2008 accord, changed all the coil packs and the issue stopped instantly

It’s somewhere around your engine overheating.
Might be the thermostat that is blocked.
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by nams77: 5:23pm On Dec 26, 2024
Bros just get a good scanner and scan your car. All the plenty suggestions is making my head woozy
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by MemoriesAndMe: 5:26pm On Dec 26, 2024
1. Change your plugs
2. Replace your battery.
3. Replace your starter.

If the above don't work, replace the car.

Abduletudaye:
Ok, noted
here is the solution if you don’t want to spend any money. You have to PRIME THE FUEL PUMP. This you do by turning on the ignition but don’t start the car. So you turn the key just once. If it’s push start just push the button without leg on break. Once you have done that then proceed to pump the accelerator like five times. Now the fuel has bypassed all the bottlenecks and now you can start the car I guarantee you it will fire once

All this online NL mechanics , without even asking relevant questions everyone is just recommending his /her solutions . If you change what everyone has recommend , you will wake with a new Bugatti grin

Pls seee a mechanic to check your car engine for you !!
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by drstranged: 5:40pm On Dec 26, 2024
It's cold start switch. I had exactly this same problem. I had several electricians and mechanics look at it. Plugs were changed, fuel pump also changed but problem persisted. Twas a very experienced mechanic who identified the problem, changed the cold start switch and problem was immediately solved
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by Odingaoz: 5:46pm On Dec 26, 2024
I know you heard a lot of inputs from different "acclaimed" experts in automobile tech. However, I advice you to start with the least expensive approach. Your Battery is weak and it's going down. Replace the battery with brand new if you can. Do not touch anything else on the car.
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by Sambab(m): 5:51pm On Dec 26, 2024
Go and change your co-stat

Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by Trustedpronet: 6:00pm On Dec 26, 2024
1. Battery: If the battery is weak or old, it may struggle to provide enough power for the engine to start, especially in cold weather. Test the battery's voltage and consider replacing it if it's below 12.4V.

2. Starter Motor: A faulty starter motor might not be engaging properly, leading to difficulty starting the engine.

3. Fuel System:

Check if the fuel pump is working correctly. If the pump is weak, it may not supply enough fuel to start the engine.

Clogged fuel injectors or fuel filters can restrict fuel flow, causing hard starting.

Consider cleaning or replacing the fuel filter and injectors.

4. Ignition System:

Spark plugs may be worn out or dirty, preventing proper ignition.

Ignition coils might also be malfunctioning, leading to misfires.

5. Cold Weather: If it’s cold outside, check if the engine coolant temperature sensor is working properly, as it helps the car adjust fuel delivery during cold starts.

6. Air Filter[i][/i][/b]: A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, making it difficult to start.

7. [b]Engine Oil
: Old or thick oil can increase engine friction, making it harder to start. Make sure you're using the correct oil for the season.

It's best to run a diagnostic.
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by magzey: 6:02pm On Dec 26, 2024
your mechanic should check you Nozzles sensor and plugs thank me later grin grin
Re: My Car Struggles To Start In The Mornings Only by McLizbae: 6:05pm On Dec 26, 2024
Who checked it. Spark plugs are likely the problem here, especially low quality plugs develop this kinda problem.
Abduletudaye:
Those were checked and it didn't solve the issue.

Try removing the head of your battery every night first, it might be battery problem.
