Sorry! But I also say, thanks! I love the reports of failed efforts. It's also a chance to learn about the components. On your battery troubles, does your battery have a metal jacket to help it resist engine heat that can degrade the battery? I had an odyssey battery without that jacket and it eventually began showing voltage problems when the car warmed up. I got a warranty replacement/upgrade for another with the jacket and all has been well for like forever.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
