Engine Controls - PCM/Fuel Pressure Regulator Matching

2000 Accord V6 - ALL

PCM and Fuel Pressure Regulator Matching

BACKGROUND

During the 2000 model year, the fuel pressure regulator and the PCM (powertrain control module) for the Accord V6 were changed. Vehicles produced before the change may have had this update installed with Service Bulletin 00-024, Hard Start After "Hot Soak", filed under Fuel and Emissions.

The PCM and fuel pressure regulator must be matched to each other. If they are not, performance will decrease over time and the MIL will eventually come on.

If you are replacing a PCM or a fuel pressure regulator in a 2000 Accord V6, make sure you install the correct components.
