is it the starter repalcement that turned out to be a connetion issue?

so far youve been giving advice that cost more money then necessary

last time i'll respond to you:

if honda recommends a different weight oil, i'll use it.

smoke does not just appear for no reason, accompanied by a rapid clicking. i'm all for waiting for a problem to be more consistant to diagnose, but it it's magically fixed you have to wonder what happened in the first place.

honda also recommends changing a whole host of parts based purely on age amongst some of their cars

Once again Ill say about the oil, the difference between 5/30 and 5/20 is not big enough to require an immediate change, nor is it REQUIRED. recommendations are jsut that, recommendations. microsoft recommends every computer to run their newest operating system. its not required, and there are several linux distros that perform better

so, if you are one to follow honda, sure thats fine, but Ill save myself money and hassle by using methods that have proved to be useful and cheap.

I have resolved the issue after having the car in the garage for 2 years.
Fuel pump was not an issue since I have 28-32 psi.
It was the distributor sensors inside, not the coil or ignitor.
Easiest is to change the whole part and not figure out which sensor is bad.
