Now let’s start with problem number one: the fuel injectors. The symptoms you may have with this condition is the engine running rough. You may even have a check engine light that’s flashing. From the factory, there is an updated program for the computer, there’s something called a technical service bulletin which means that Honda knows about the issue and they have a fix for it. What they’re going to do is go in and reprogram the computer, and that’s going to change the values in the fuel injectors. If the injectors are too dirty for them to just clean, they’re going to have to replace those injectors. After all that is completed, your engine should be running smooth and your check engine light will be all set.
The next problem we’re going to talk about is the timing belts. Normally timing belts are maintenance items and you’re going to have to replace them somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. Well, with this vehicle, there’s actually a problem with the timing belt. Honda knows about it and they made a recall on certain Vehicles. So, you want to check with your local Honda dealership with your VIN number and see if your vehicle falls under that recall. Because if this timing belt breaks, it’s not going to be good for your engine.
