hi i need the immobilizer code of my honda accord 2002 the vin: 1HGCG16542A009445

You have a bad alternator......

you meant, car will not run right (unsaid) so i unplugged the MAP sensor (forcing limp home mode) when was last time car had fresh fuel. when was last time car was a daily driver?> last week, last year? by removing the map the limphome goes huge rich state. so id say , the engine is in a very lean state and going to limphome hides this situation. why not post full symptoms , with all parts back on engine. did do the 60k mile , tune up yet? if the cam belt snaps, say good by to a good engine. (boom) Timing belt, sparks and filters.? 1: cranks ok.? 2: wont start 3: is it flooding? or starving for fuel. spark plug tips dry or wet. if spark is good all cylinders, (no engine option stated) then i check timing, if off the belt (cam) slipped. if the engine is flooding i do the flooding tests. if its to lean i do the lean tests. ASK . for the lean test i check the ECT , then fuel pressure. the fuel pressure is 10 tests on a V6. I can also test the MAP in 5min with a voltmeter, to see if its right. here is the list , Good voltage 12vdc to the EFI starting and running. Good engine, spec compression, good spark and timed correctly if, off its the cam belt slipped, good fueling, there are simple tests for each. i also make sure the EGR is not stuck open on all cars with this. and that the ISC is not dead.(stuck and dirty)

Mrs PETERSON the knock sensor located on the side of the engine block to the inner side under the inlet manifold and close to the oil filter and oil switch.

I cant find a owners manual but i did find the service manual. click here for service manual. best i can do is a 2001 honda civic owners manual. also if you go here http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/ they have an extensive collection of owners manuals and service manuals. Thanks, Midwest-tek.

Most often, access to the trunk is achieved by folding the rear seat down. If not, remove the seat and you'll have access to the trunk area. If access isn't a problem, get yourself a plastic panel removal tool set from parts store and make sure it's not cold when you remove the panels as they'll be more likely to break from being brittle from the cold. Take your time.

What have you done to check for possible issue ? Have you been current with the maintenance of your car ? When was last time you performed a tune up, to include air and fuel filter replacements ?
Do you have any codes or check engine light ?
The more detail information you can add, the better we can assist.

A flashing check engine light means that your vehicle is having a catalytic converter damaging misfire ! Spark plug problem , coil , ignition module , injector breaking down electrically un a load . They need to hook up a scope an check it . Check Engine Light Flashing Misfire Diagnosis by Autolite Spark Plugs Honda , ford , gm there all the same

Change the fuel filter. In cold weather, water in the fuel filter can freeze resulting in fuel starvation. Fuel and air filter should be changed every 30,000 miles.

try cleaning the IACV (idle control valve) they often get dirty over time and stick cause odd idle issues, also verify distrubutor cap and rotor and wires to spark plugs

1981 to 2000 do not have security chips installed in the ignition key.

Cold misfire could be due to the following reasons: - Ignition timing too late. - Spark plugs gap too wide. - Faulty spark plug wires or distributor assembly. - Weak engine compression, or valve clearance too low. - Leakage in the vacuum hose or intake manifold. - PCV valve faulty.

from out side the safety locks are designed to disconnect the inside handle so a child cant open door

Check you're starter connections

have you checked the timing belt, it may have jumped time. is it getting gas into the cylinders, are you loosing spark.
