    ALL HONDAS have the best starting systems in the world.

    If the car has problems starting, it can only be
    the rotor piece that spins around in side the distributor cap
    is burnt out and needs to be replaced for $15. The dealers will never
    tell you this, not even mechanics, cause they charge $100+ and fabricate
    some fucking bogus engine problem to make money.

    Get original honda, which is copper metal, OEMs usually nickel and less
    conductive for racers, and driving in general. I don't notice a difference,
    but copper might burn out faster? From a physics perspective, will need to
    check the conductivity lives of copper versus nickel. But I'm probably
    right.

    This or your gas is frozen in the winter? pour a bottle rubbing alcohol or
    ethanol into the tank and all will be fine.

    Rubbing alcohol is 40% WATER. It's used for rubbing. I think you meant
    to say Methyl alcohol, or just run a tank of gaasohol thru it.

    A Honda will also fail to start in the morning if an injector is leaking
    and flooding the engine overnight. The User Manual explains the solution
    for 'flooded Engine' in the part about 'starting the engine'. The first
    clue is when the fuel pump runs for about 5 seconds while performing the
    Lamp Check. The second clue: It won't start unless you hold the gas
    pedal to the floor.

    Was this post a reply to somebody elses question ? ? It seems to be a
    'random revelation' . .

    I was going to post something similar. Rubbing alcohol is Iso-Porpyl
    Alcohol, (=Isopropanol). It does not inherently have water in it, but
    the kind that you find at the drug store usually is listed as 70%
    isopropanol and 30% water. The best I have found is 91% isopropanol / 9%
    water.

    Most "rubbing" alcohol I've seen is 70% alk,and 30% water,and that's why it
    will not absorb water.
    If you look carefully,you can buy 99% isopropyl alcohol,and that will work
    to remove(absorb) water.
