Wrench. Step 1: Locate the spark plugs. Access the coil pack in order to test it. Turn off the car's engine and open the hood. Locate the spark plugs and follow the spark plug wires until you locate the coil pack. Remove the spark plug wires and label them to make it easy to install them again. But a bad stop-start system can make you hate the whole concept. I've driven some absolute clunkers. There was the 2016 Cadillac where the stop-start system didn't communicate with the brake-hold Let’s start with simple and work our way up. PCV system: If the PCV system is the source of your oil burning problem, the remedy is fairly straightforward, not too expensive, and with minimal downtime. If the PCV system’s hoses and mounting elements are at fault, they can be swapped out. Eco start/stop killed our vehicle’s main battery early. I also can’t help but suspect it’s bad for rings and pistons in the long term, but vehicles with eco start/stop simply haven’t been around long enough to know. They are supposedly wearing out starters as well, even though they’re supposed to be built to withstand extra starts. Many nicer cars with start/stop are mild hybrids which run the AC off a battery (which keeps running when the engine stops). Obviously full hybrids can also run the AC off the battery. more reply. PlaneCandy. • 3 yr. ago. One of the beauties of EVs is the ability to run the a/c when the rest of the car is "off". One of the technologies that is becoming more widespread are stop-start systems, also known as idle-stop systems. They cut the engine when the car is not moving, saving fuel that would otherwise be wasted while the car is idling. These systems are designed to recognise when the driver lifts a foot off the brake, and restart the engine before Warning lights could appear on your dashboard if you have a blown fuse. For example, a blown fuse for the fuel pump may trigger the fuel system warning or check engine light. Fuses that Start and Stop the Motor. Some fuses protect electrical components and systems responsible for starting the engine. 1) Starter Fuse 1. Weak Battery. If your Odyssey’s engine won’t crank or cranks very slowly, then the most likely culprit is a weak or dead 12v battery. Investigating more closely and doing a battery voltage test will clarify whether the starting problem is due to the battery. A test can be done to measure the voltage between the battery poles, check the While the car is running my battery runs around 14.5-14.6 volts (as shown on the console) but during the time the engine shuts off for the auto start/stop function it drops down to 12.5 immediately and eventually as low as 11.5 before the car will kick back on on its own. ivsvyvL.
