FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE CAR GIVES REPEATED STARTING PROBLEMS, PARTICULARLY IF IT IS PARKED UNDER THE SUN. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT FIXING, FINALLY I WENT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAYS HE HAS SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ACCORDS, AND HE SUSPECTS IT IS A VAPOR LOCK PROBLEM IN THE FUEL LINE AND ADVISED ME NOT TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON IT. HIS SUGGESTION TO OPEN THE GAS CAP HELPS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. BUT SOMETIMES, THIS LETS SOME GAS OUT THROUGH THE TOP AS SOON AS THE GAS CAP IS REMOVED.
