Hi,
Anybody know if auto ECUs are subject to cap failure
Have Honda Civic EX 2006 135k miles.
For the last 18 months its had a starting problem, sometimes it will start first time, other times it requires 4 or 5 attempts. It always starts, just has to be "coaxed"
Problem is the same hot or cold.
Shows no trouble codes using my ODB scanner.
Took it to large local Honda dealer, still no trouble codes.
They had it for a day and a half. Checked the battery, replaced earth straps and tested a whole bunch of sensors.
Even sent live data feed to Honda HQ in California, no progress.
Honda HQ says try replacing the ECU computer module. Had to take the car back before they tested with replacement ECU. They will test it when we can spare the car.
If I need to replace the ECU, is it something that is worth opening looking for bad caps.
Al.
