Trunk will not open in my Accord Tourer Diesel 2009 
Solved
2009 Honda Accord DIESEL ESTATE 2.2l 150000 miles
All of a sudden the trunk will not open in my Accord Tourer Diesel 2009 neither manually or with the keyfob/internal button on the driver's door. Real pain as the only way to open it is by climbing inside the boot and operate the manual emergency release.
No warnings showing on the dashboard and when the trunk is open I can still close it with the keyfob and button ! Checked fuse number 21 which is still ok , replaced it with new spare available but still no joy. Planning to also try and replace the 40a green square fuse though I think I'm wasting time on that as the electric closing does wor… Read complete
CommentVehicle stalls during driving, sometimes it won't start, engine light
2009 Honda Accord 2.4L EX-L 261000 miles
Vehicle has 261,000. It shows very erratic behaviour.
- Sometimes it won't start.
- Sometimes it will start and run but it later stalls and engine will shut off while driving; the immobilizer light [green key] comes on blinking when car stalls, but then it disappears once the key is turned to 0 and then car will start again.
- It shows an engine light which disappears all of the sudden just to re-appear later on.
The codes are always P060A and P1659.
- It just recently started showing also other codes, such as: P0498, P2118, P062F, P2610, and P2118. - I have replaced almost every relay an… Read complete

Main relay under the left side of the dash is interconnected with the Immobilizer system and the relay from Honda is a well known issue as it can heat up which causes the solder to crack causing the relay to eventually fail and in the meantime behave erratically. Seriously, everything that has happened to you guys has happened to me, including it cutting off while I was doing 8 in the fast lane surrounded by rush hour traffic and nearly died wrestling the no longer power steering wheel to the shoulder. Waiting 10 sometimes works but I’m not really buying into that because I read on a forum post about the relay problem and that in the meantime you can try smacking the cover of the fuse box with the faulty relay inside. It located under the dashboard and actually on the side wall of the car. You have to remove the panel under the steering column to get access to that specific box, it is not the regular box on the right side imbedded into the center of the dashboard where all of the control fuse for lights and crap are. I’ve been employing the foot tap method for 5 straight days, in the heat (because it seems to be worse and will start less if it’s hot outside) and it works every single time. I feel like Fonzie. I’m sure there’s more to it than that but regardless, I need my car to start as well as to not endanger my life by cutting off everything whilst exceeding the speed limit so I don’t get run over by my fellow drivers, because California, and all I can say is that as silly as it sounds, it’s effective in employing some sort of og magic and raising my temperamental ride from the recently dead.
Hi,can you please send a picture of this relay and location, or the part number? I have the SAME issues with my 2008 Accord and have stuck so many parts and money into it already and I am about to give up. Please help. Thank you :)
Valaraukar68 from United States 3 years ago
@mnldianI’m unable to get to my car atm but my magic spot, and it is a spot, not an area, is under the driver side dash but on the side wall on the left right up where the two meet. I just lift my foot and flick it against the cover there and bang! every time! Still! I know it’s hinky, but it works after a year’s worth of wrong information and advice, and I’m confident that eventually whatever is wrong with the relay(the crap factory soldering is supposed to be the main culprit) will get worse and I’ll have to replace it, or it could something completely different. All I know is some mechanic mentioned it in YouTube video and I gave it a try without hope in my heart as I had been let down repeatedly, only to have it work then and always, so far. I am and anyone else who tries it should be aware and paying attention all the time while driving because it can still cut out, but only has once and I put the car in neutral and restarted it immediately after a quick tap with my foot, but for a second there I was wrassling with a 2K automobile, in traffic and without power and most importantly, power steering, but all’s well that ends well.
@Valaraukar68I will take a look, just wondering what relay it might be. Thank you.
Valaraukar68 from United States 3 years ago
@mnldianIt’s the main relay, and you can google the diagram for your particular Honda. Mine is a ‘98, so things may be in a different place inside the cabin.
@mnldianPart number 25033 fuel pump relay, this is the only relay you will have NO issues with, the only one that has been working for years, before this I changed 3 different fuel pump relays on my Honda 2008

I kept stalling too , I added coolant to get it to start and move but it also kept wanting to shut off so I cleaned the MAP sensor( May be a MAF for your vehicle) and I also replaced the temp sensor valve on the throttle body hose, I think it was called intake airflow temperature sensor or something like that, with all those fixes my 2004 Honda Accord is running as smooth as ever and I have 214K miles
Greetings, I’m having the same issue with my Honda Accord 08, 2.4L EX-L. Has anyone figured out the problem? It’s very frustrating changing parts, spending money and the issue still occurs.

My 99 Accord was acting same way. Ignition Cable. Wiring harness that goes from Ignition to firewall undet drivers side. Like to never figured it out, and a mf to change.
My 2008 had P060A and P1659. I followed the instructions of some people solutions online by replacing new spark plugs, ignition, fuel pump. I also cleaned the throttle body, intake air tube, PVC valve, and camshaft sensor but nothing solved. Since my car could start but shutoff within minutes, I felt the symptom like the throttle body seemed not open or close properly or the ECU not operating properly. I saw an online of how to reset the ECU for the TB by someone for the Honda Accord earlier year. I applied it and it solved my car problem. The reset got the ECU relearned the throttle body. I believe my car started having issue after I attempted some unsuccessful starts during the freezing weather that had messed up the ECU and throttle body.
Is that the key turn on but not all the way, hold for 5 seconds and do 3 times?
The air conditioner buttons are not working. Is there a method to reprogram them or to diagnose the problem?
CommentDies suddenly. Solved
1994 Honda Accord 2.2 189000 miles
Car will run for a few miles then either dies suddenly or won't start back up after turning it off. No spark until everything cools off for awhile. Then it fires right up.

Best answer (according to Bobeeker)
Since the car was dying and starting at the same intervals, I figured it was heat related. And since there was no fire when it would die, I figured it was either the ecu or something in the distributor. I went with the cheapest of the two and changed the whole distributor seeing as how the distributor life was 150,000 miles anyway. Not sure exactly what it was that was getting hot and shutting down, but it fixed my problem.

Seems like a bad alternator. You usually have problems shifting in reverse afterwards. Also battery test & alternator readings might give you 14v, but if it is bad will decrease as the car keeps running for a few minutes back to 12v. This happened on my 2011 Honda accord

1999 Honda Accord 126000 miles
I own an Honda Accord Lx 1999 4 doors, which recently started having problems when trying to speed it up. After turning it off and starting the engine again it will only run for some meters. If I stop the car without fully closing the switcher it won't start, and if I do close it completely it will only work for some seconds without accelerating properly. Any ideas would be really helpful.

Hi, Melly. I had the same problem and the cause was located in the engine's belts. There are two of them, a huge and a little one, check over there.
Hey possible can you send me the picture of it ? I have changed many sensors even cleaned the VTEC sensor but nothing working I have same issue and it dint work for me my car runs perfectly just doesn't go above 3k RPM and if I remove the battery wire and out it back then engine light goes off for few minutes and it rivs above 3k but then again I see engine light on please guide me
@YahyaThere is two separate screens one on the vtec in the back of the motor and one behind the belt tensioner that could be clogged as well. People tend to clean the easy one but they forget about the hard one. That would set off the same code as give the same symptoms as the vtec.
