One more thing... Honda's are set-up to run really lean at idle. Those of you that have A/F ratio gauges can see that anytime when doing so. Here again that depends on the condition of the O2 sensor... hehehe
Since yours is a v6, might check into how the idle is handled...

Might try taking it to someplace that has a scan tool, the CEL/MIL's are more detailed now, then the eariler version OBD. Sooo that should be able to tell you which sensor(s) are acting up. By either sending to much voltage or not enough to the ECU.
With todays systems it's practically impossible to guess what is wrong without the proper tools to troubleshoot. Like mentioned above about the scan tool, along with a voltmeter, oscilloscope. Without those it's just to hard/$$$$$ to try and and figure out. When something is on the "verge" of failure. Otherwise it just turns into a waiting game, until it finally fails all the way and sends the needed MIL.

rotten Egg Smell
People in here are all telling you the wrong thing. Your problem is your battery that is emitting sulferic acid from its vents that is why you smell the rotten egg smell that is what sulferic acid smells like, the reason your car is harder to start is because its not fully charged and you probably need a new battery and the fact that you did a tune up on your car has nothing to do with it most likely all it is coincidence. so test your battery and you will see it is probably not up to specs but also make sure that you have not crossed any wiring like from the alternator or anything else that could be causing the battery to heat up.
Thanks! |
