Damn, What have you done to try to fix it?
I have tried the fuel pressure regulator, IAC, fuel pump & main relay
I have tried the fuel pressure regulator, IAC, fuel pump & main relay
ALRIGHT SUCCESS! What a NICE DAY!
DISCLAIMER: Just cause it worked for me, I can't guarantee it will work for someone else. This is just information that might help someone to go in the right direction. It was a $710 (total) risk on my part because I didn't have ANYONE diagnose it but me, because frankly, I trust myself
Car: 2000 LX V6 coupe
Service bulletin: 00-024 (In my first post)
Symptom: After driving the car until it has warmed up, like 20-30 minutes or more, you then shut it off for 20 minutes. If you start it, the engine will start but then stall. Tach will drop right to zero and all sorts of dash lights will be on. You can try to restart several times before it works or give it gas as you soon as you start it to prevent it from stalling. Eventually I was finding myself shifting into gear quickly to get it to stay running. This might trigger a CEL, like I had last week but I cleared it with my scanner and it has been fine since! Before the fix, it always starts when the car has been sitting for 45 min or more.
Remedy: I bought the Fuel Pressure Regulator kit from Tim and then had my honda dealership install it today. I tested it THREE TIMES and all three times the car started with the tach strongly resting steadily around 650-700 RPM! Previously in the past week, I had done the same test like 5 times and it stalled 4 times while one time it almost stalled. This is looking GOOD!
Some PICS:
The FPR KIT:
The new FPR:
Location of the FPR:
Closer look, this is the new FPR:
Location of PCM:
Ah there you are Mr. NEW PCM:
Proof of my mileage:
Again this was expensive, but I am the original owner and I plan on keeping this for many years to come so for me it is DEFINITELY worth it. I will keep my receipts just in case HONDA extends the warranty.
I really do hope this helps someone. I had changed the main relay several months ago and evidently that wasn't the issue hehe
BOOOOOYAH!!!! GOOOOO ACCOOOOORRRRDDDD!!!

Damn nice there! You are the first person of the three honda forums I'm on that I know that has confirmed the fix! Glad it's working outfor you.
Yep, I just noticed that u have a 2000 V6 coupe too, so if you are experiencing these symptoms, this is probably the fix. I will post another update in several weeks to really confirm this. But it does seem to be working now. Wooohooo!

indeed i do. that's why i took great interest in your thread and the results you've received. keep me/us posted on this!
on a side note, was your accord's odometer off by a small amount? like 5MPH? if so, has it been corrected with the new PCM?

I know the thread is old but if it helps I had the same issue and was able to fix it by swapping over to odyssey fuel rail setup i used the van rails fpr and lines to the fpr. it was a direct swap and worked perfect. got all the parts from the local u-pull junk yard for less than $100 which was a lot better than the $2500 the dealer said it would cost because the ecu had to be changed. p.s. I did change just the fpr with the updated unit first and it didn't help me at all.
