Replying to: jankowski (Feb 05, 2007 5:12 pm) Thats normal for a GX it's the injectors you here,(ticking noise right) some are louder than others, The ECO system I have in my Suburban sounds like a diesel when running on CNG and quite as on mouse on gasoline.   Murphy Replies to this message: jankowski (Feb 06, 2007 11:02 pm) hondagxsales (Mar 15, 2007 5:33 pm) bank1avp (Mar 18, 2007 6:53 pm)

Replying to: jankowski (Feb 05, 2007 5:12 pm) You could listen to another GX. My 2005 is quiet but it simply makes normal engine noise. Did you get an estimate sheet from the dealer when you left your car for inspection stating your complaint? When you picked up your car, you should have received a final estimate indicating your complaint and the technician's inspection results. The documentation could be helpful in the future.   Depending on you state your future warranty rights could be limited if you do not have any documentation of a problem.   My local dealer has was very generous with the only warranty issue that I had with my car. And they gave me a ride to my office.

Replying to: bank1avp (Feb 06, 2007 10:57 am) Just curious about your Suburban sounding like a deisel. Is it because of compression issues. The GX is 12.5:1 because of the 130 octane. A lower compression could make the Bi Fuel motor rattle if compression was left at say 9:1, as it was set up at the factory for gasoline. Replies to this message: bank1avp (Mar 18, 2007 6:53 pm)

Replying to: hondagxsales (Mar 15, 2007 5:33 pm) The ECO system CNG injectors have always been loud. Not sure why. Very simular to the factory GFI Ford setup but without the noise.
#53 of 55 I bricked my GX. Excess flow valve? by ignis_fatuus Oct 14, 2007 (10:10 pm)
Okay, I just bricked my civic GX. I closed the manual valve and ran the line "dry" by idling the engine until it stalled. I was diagnosing a fuel gauge peculiarity. After I reopened the valve the fuel gauge stayed at empty with the empty light blinking. The car refuses to turn over, and it won't even come out of park with the ignition on. Is there an excess flow valve I might have tripped with the transient surge into the empty line? How do I reset it? I think I located where it lives: behind the rear seat inside a rubber boot. Anyone with any ideas to reset, or must I tow to the dealership? Replies to this message: ignis_fatuus (Oct 15, 2007 6:30 am)

Replying to: ignis_fatuus (Oct 14, 2007 10:10 pm) Update: I had an epiphany last night that I should try cycling the power. So after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, all is well. Hmmm...

Replying to: giorgi (Jan 31, 2008 3:32 pm) Giorgi - did you send your injector to Accurate Injector to have it serviced? What was the result?
