 Hi Craig;

Sorry to hear of your problem.

Same thing happened to my daughters 90 Accord. Turned out to be a burned exhaust valve on #3 cylinder.

A compression check confirm it.

When I pulled the exhaust manifold, I could actually see it. I rotated the crank until the No. 3 exhaust valves closed. I used a small inspection mirror and saw a suspect area, then confirmed by inserting a small wire through the hole. Wasn't very big...guess it doesn't take much.

I have heard of others having this problem, too.

Sorry it's happened to you. Good luck.

Mike
