I just bought a Honda passport 1998, 138K miles two days ago.Previous owner just overfilled the engine oil.I drove it for 70 Miles but not continuously,may be 20 miles a day, I just had it for 3 days.Today the car suddenly lost power and came to a standstill.It would not start but would crank normally.I need help, I need to know what might have happened.Could it be overfilling of engine oil.RegardsPerth
how full???back to basic trouble shooting..codes with a scan tool...check the live data... do you see crank sensor signal.. do you see cam sensor signal... do you hear the fuel pump turn on for 2 seconds when you turn the key on??? this sometimes takes two people.. at 138K miles.. it could be time for a fuel pump..if you don't hear the fuel pump turn on for the 2 seconds when you turn the key on.. and usually stay on for 2 seconds after stopping cranking..have somebody crank the engine while you are beating on the bottom of the fuel tank.. with a rubber mallet..do you have fuel pressure.. this usually takes a fuel pressure gauge.. the fuel filters could be clogged...checking for spark also is needed..
