    Might have a fuel injector leak, and you may have bumped it when messing with the valve cover causing it to leak more.. Check your injectors, they may need new o-rings..

    um, did you accidentally disconnet anything when you took of the VC...?

    no unbolted everything and removed that line the way you told me to. took about 3 minutes, didn't bump anything. put it back on the same way.

    could it be the line coming from my fuel injection? maybe i got paint in the line that comes from the valve cover? :?:

    no that wouldnt screw anything up. i say let it sit a minute, then try again...

    also, check for your main relay click.

    i here the click, it's been sitting about an hour.. she just turns over and over and over and won't crank. i'm not smelling gas :?: so maybe it really is my fuel injectors.

    i painted my dpfi top too. but i made sure it was dry completely and i only painted the top not the bottom :roll:

    idk, its kind of exciting not knowing what it is. it makes me think. but i hate it at the same time. i love learning about my car. :D :(

    haha thats a good attitude =) when you crank it do you wait for the check engine light to go off before you turn the key? or do you turn the key write away. this may be dumb, but i works for me...

    when you stick the key in the ignition, turn it all the way to crank position right away. dont wait for the CEL or the beeping to stop. this way you are cranking while the fuel pump is still running. when i do that my car starts up in like 2 seconds. if i leave it till the CEL and beeping stops it takes like 5 seconds.

    haha always have a positive attitude!

    and i was waiting, i'll try that, brb.

    didn't work bro! any other ideas?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    it could be your fuel injectors are clogged... how did it run before? also it could be they arent getting signal.

    but i dont think its really such a big issue seeing as the first issue wasnt either. haha.

    i say keep turning trying to crank the car. crank it for a few seconds. take the key out, then try again. over and over.

    idk, that might be dumb. but if its a main relay issue thats what helped me when i have main relay issues.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    haha she ran RIGHT before i painted the valve cover, i drove her to go get the paint!

    all i disconnected was what was needed to remove the valve cover and the 4 screws to remove the dpfi lid. 8) i removed them quite sexy like might i add.

    now she just wants to be ignorant because i painted the vc and injection lid baby blue instead of hot pink, dumb whore. i'm going outside with a knife, sledge hammer and some wirecutters and i'm going to threaten her until she runs.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    hahaha dont follow outcast :lol:

    id be pretty pissed too though if i was a car and you painted me baby blue.

    hey now! baby blue is sexy!

    it's kind of a darkish baby sky blue? that didn't make sense. but thats how she looks! it's.....cute?

    could it be from paint falling into my fuel injection chamber then through my fuel injectors causing them to clog? ( i have no idea if thats possibly but i have a HUGE mind on what if's)
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    im sure its cool dude. i was just playing. idk if i'd like to get paint pink either, but i went ahead with that plan as everyone knows. ha.. anyways.

    no there is not way paint would have gotten into the fuel injectors. unless you sprayed paint into the fuel tank and managed to get it throught the fuel lines into the injectors :P
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    ok, so scratch that.

    it couldn't of just ran this morning then now it doesn't because shes angry she got painted. :x

    could it be compression maybe?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    naw. trust me, its nothing major. its just a car fart.

    i'll try searching code 16 on honda-tech

    16: Fuel Injector System defective circuit or unplugged / defective fuel injector.

    if you can go to a juknyard and find a spare injector that might help.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    how much would they be new?

    i probably need new ones anyways, they've never been replaced.

    and a random question how come when im in drive 3 i get better mpg then drive 4?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    new ones are like $80 or something... id opt for used. hehe, heck, i think i mentioned that i've got a set in perfect condition..
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    how long were they used? and how much shipped?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    they were used for 97K miles.

    $30 shipped for both.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    are they clean? like have you cleaned them since they've been removed?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    yeah they are pretty damn clean. the car has been meticulously mantained. i can send you pics and everything. i drove about 3000 miles with them and never ever had any issues.

    post pics here or in pms, it doesn't matter to me.

    if i get them it'd have to be around may 3rd when i get paid.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    sure. let me know if you end up needing them. hopefully you'll car will work before then ;)

    oh, i'll get pics if you end up needing them, cause right now they are still in the intake manifold so it would take a little bit to get them out. and i just dont want to unless i have to, ya dig?

    good luck mang.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    thanks man and yeah i get you, but i'll most likely buy them whether i need them anyways as mine probably need replacing.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    alright in that case i'll go get them right now. im bored anyways.

    btw, is it alright if i call you mike?
