Hey guys!
I have a 2007 Civic, 31,500Km done on the ODO. One day i came home, parked my car and the next day it won't start. The engine cranked just fine but it wouldn't start. After much khuwari the problem turned out to be a loose O-ring on the fuel pump. When it becomes loose, pressure is lost and fuel doesn't reach engine with pressure to start it.

The guy i had called over (since couldn't take car to Honda) took the pump, replaced the O ring and put it back. All good, but 2 days later it again wouldn't start. This time i had the car towed to Honda and examined there. The O Ring had moved, so the Honda guy replaced it with another ring because he said the other one wasn't a proper size (this time a genuine one according to him). The car has been running fine for 4-5 days, but lately the starting time after crank is increasing and i am fearful it'll go bad again. =\
Has anyone else here faced a situation like this? Should i just get the pump and filter replaced, which normally happens at 40,000KM? It costs Rs.9150 =\
