Hi,Replace or rebuild the caliper. Also, may just need to grease the glide/slide pins that the caliper moves on.GL,TD

I had this problem and when trying to accelerate off from a gear... it went to the garage yesterday and had to have the coil changed. Works fine again now.... this was on a Fiat punto so dont know if same problem or not.

On any no start situation, you have to figure out if you are dealing with a fuel problem or spark problem. Can you start it by spraying carb cleaner into the intake hose ?Have you checked the fuel pressure with a gauge ?

ther is a dedad short somewhere in the line you need to follow the wire from one end to the other and make sure its not pinched or grounded anywhere

best bet is go to honda tech.com

Did the problem come on suddenly or was some previous action or work done...

Hi,DO NOT replace any more compoents until you have checked your vehicle's OBD computer for fault codes.1) Run engine until it reaches operating temperature. Turn off engine.2) Locate the 2-pin connector (BLUE I think it is) under the passenger dashboard, or behind passenger kick panel - this connector could also be mounted into an unused socket ( DO NOT use the 3-pin connector). Using a suitable jumper wire, short these 2 pins together.3) Turn ignition to ON (but do not start)4) The Check Engine light will flash the appropriate codes - long flash represents the 1st digit of the code, short flashes represent the 2nd digit of the code, followed by a long pause between codes. e.g. LONG, LONG, SHORT, SHORT, SHORT (long pause) = Code 23 etc.These are the Honda codes and their meanings:Code 0 Electronic Control Module (ECM)Code1 Heated oxygen sensor ACode 2 Oxygen content BCode 3 and 5 Manifold Absolute PressureCode 4 Crank position sensorCode 6 Engine coolant temperatureCode 7 Throttle position sensorCode 8 Top dead center sensorCode 9 No.1 cylinder position sensorCode 10 Intake air temperature sensorCode 11 Electronic Control Module (ECM)Code 12 Exhaust recirculation systemCode 13 Barometric pressure sensorCode 14 Idle air control valve or bad ECMCode 15 Ignition output signalCode 16 Fuel InjectorCode 17 Vehicle speed sensorCode 19 A/T lock-up control solenoidCode 20 Electric load detectorCode 21 V-TEC control solenoidCode 22 V-TEC pressure solenoidCode 23 Knock sensorCode 30 A/T FI signal ACode 30 A/T FI signal BCode 41 Heated oxygen sensor heaterCode 43 Fuel supply systemCode 45 Fuel supply meteringCode 48 Heated oxygen sensorCode 61 Front heated oxygen sensorCode 63 Rear heated oxygen sensorCode 65 Rear heated oxygen sensor heaterCode 67 Catalytic converter systemCode 70 Automatic transaxleCode 71 Misfire detected cylinder 1Code 72 Misfire detected cylinder 2Code 73 Misfire detected cylinder 3Code 74 Misfire detected cylinder 4Code 75 Misfire detected cylinder 5Code 76 Misfire detected cylinder 6Code 80 Exhaust recirculation systemCode 86 Coolant temperatureCode 92 Evaporative emission control systemHope this helps........

This is just a screen shot hope it helps

I have the diagram you need if you want me to send it to you. Send me your email address and I will send you the pictures and explanations on how to time it. [email protected]

The tank at the end of the brake booster is for the brake fluid and the one on the fire wall is for the clutc but sometimes the clutch and the brake share the same tank

You will have to see if your getting spark and fuel. If your getting both it should be starting either timing or injector pulse isn't working maybe. If your not getting spark, you will need to check your ignition system. If your still not getting fuel then you have a relay or maybe a computer problem. This isn't exact but a short list of what to check so you can reply with more information.

Check coil for fire if no fire then replace ignition control module.

The most likely cause is a combination of two things. I suspect that your catalytic converter has become less effective over the years and should be replaced. Also, the oxygen sensor is responsible for trimming the fuel ratio, and high CO indicates that the engine is running rich. I would start by changing the oil as it may be contaminated now, then replacing the O2 sensor. Then replace the cat. if it still fails. The oxygen sensor could really just be considered maintenance at this age.

Check the MAP Sensor... I had the same prob. My car would not rev past 2500RPM. I just ended up buying a new MAP sensor and fixed the problem.
