Try tapping on the Main Relay.

Everything there is to know about your Honda/Acura main relay:
How the Main Relay works
When the Main Relay goes bad

ok ill keep you updated

160onTheDash

so i did what you said but still no start and i smell gas......im going to make a video of was going on

160onTheDash

THIS IS A VIDEO ON ME SHOWING WAS GOING ON https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9CinrRJ4nA

I watched the video, and at one point it sounds as if the engine catches for a split second, indicating there might be some fuel pressure remaining (and which is why you can smell gas). You might need to get a helper to tap on the Main Relay while you're cranking. Even if that doesn't work, the Main Relay could still be bad (and need the solder joints reflowed), so you need to rule it out first, as a flaky Main Relay is the most common hard start failure.
I don't think you putting the 'wrong gas' in it was the problem. More likely something electrical has shrunken/distorted in the cold....

idk if i was even tapping the Relay idk if its in the car or under the hood i was in the car just tapping random stuff then i tryed to start it......ik that its a black box looking thing so i looked for it inside of the car

160onTheDash

i went out and yes its catching just not holding on to the catch like you said well it sounds like its catching the coils i took off the car is 2001 acura coils cm11-207A ii took some from a 1999 and they are cm11-207

Here's a thread showing location and how to remove the Main Relay.
I think you should put back the original coils if you're not sure if the replacements are correct.

Sounds like you're flooding the engine

160onTheDash

thats what i though but the guy i was with said im not lol when i had my old coils in it was doing the same thing.......

thoiboi

When you keep cranking and the car doesnt start , you're most definitely flooding the engine. Have you replaced your starter?

160onTheDash

mmhmmmm so your saying it might be a relay problem....ok lets say i bought that and the car still didnt start what the other options

160onTheDash

yes starter was replaced recent

Tosh

I'm saying that the most common reason for normally maintained fuel-injected pre-2005 Hondas and Acuras to have a hard start is a flaky main relay. So, rule it OUT first!

160onTheDash

ok so i found the relay but its pertty hard to get out so i left it in i tapped it pretty hard aye few times then tryed to start it....... if you want i can make another vid of me tapping and trying to start it......... but it cranked then catched for about 1sec or 2 not saying it started but it sounded like it started but didnt if you get what im saying.............so what do you think should i try taking the relay out i cant find the clip on the relay to take it out......(not its is cold out side snow everywhere

Tosh

If tapping on it makes it start, you're lucky, as that confirms it was a bad Main Relay. But if tapping on it does NOT help it start, then it could STILL be a bad Main Relay, and you need to remove it and either repair it or put in one that you know works, and go from there.
You have to contort and twist yourself under the dash to reach the bolt that holds the bracket for the Relay (see post 9), and that snow is not going to help....

160onTheDash

i got it it was very very hard my hands hurt lol ill post pics

160onTheDash

160onTheDash

looks clean to me

Tosh

It doesn't matter what it looks like, as solder breaks can be hidden internally. Now you need to reflow the solder at the large joints with a soldering iron. Then reinstall it and try again.

160onTheDash

well im getting spark it was tested with a test light today

160onTheDash

FIXXXED TURN OUT I TOOK IT TO A MEC AND I JUST HAD BAD GAS but no its another problem smh

Tosh

Do you have those symptoms?

160onTheDash

yes im going to up load a vid BC not its very cold outside it just snowed and it will not start agin it catches but not enough to stay on

160onTheDash

https://youtu.be/w8Qmnn4UIkE engine code come up p1129 and will not start agin

Tosh

What did the mechanic do to get it running?
A surging idle is usually a gummed-up Idle Air Control Valve, which can be removed and cleaned. But even if the IACV has failed the car should still start, although the idle speed will not be steady and it might stall.
Does it start up with Starting Fluid?

160onTheDash

idk if it starts up with starter Fulid and dont have a car to get some bc the car will not start agin..........the MEC told me he took all the bad gas i had in it and it started this time i got the right gas and its not starting but when trying to start it seem like its started but the idle so slow it do not start up it just gos back down

160onTheDash

can you make a guide of how to clean it bc i really need this car to start

160onTheDash

the mec also tryed to tell me it can bed a dirt idle sensor and bad thottle body

160onTheDash

ok so i went out start the car it starts but the idle drops to low to stay on its not getting enough of somthing to start all the way and stay on i hold the key on the on mode trying to start it it stayed on long as key was in but realllllllllllll low idle it was dropping i tryed to give it gas it was not started enough when i let go of trya crank it car shut off
