Have most of the electrical components (battery, fuses, grounds) been ruled out? My 08 accord recently had crank, but not start and tightening a loose ground at the transmission mount to the chassis seemed to cure it.
An update after the complete re installation of the K24Z3 engine.
The Accord starts and idles fine in park an neutral. A couple codes popped up because I hadn’t connected the sensors tight enough, but since then no codes have appeared. A slight problem right now is that the car idles rough in the drive gears and the reverse gear (auto tranny). The tach however doesn’t fluctuate when in drive or reverse, there is just a noticeable vibration I plan to do another valve adjustment with hope to smooth out the idle, because its causing the internals and engine itself to vibrate quite a bit. For the most part the rebuild is over and now its time for diagnosis to see if any problems come up from the rebuild.
The old pistons were used after washing and a measurements. The cylinders where honed to remove surface scruffs. Both the head and block were resurfaced to ensure a gasket would seat well. New seals were installed for the valves and were also machined&cleaned. More observation will be needed to see if the oil consumption issue is fixed.
That’s unfortunate, I assume it was a form of cost cutting or maybe experimentation? Do you happen to know if they changed out the rings after the oil consumption problems began? Like the part number for the current piston rings won’t coincide with the problem rings right?
