How hot has it been up there? It makes me wonder if it is heat related if there is a major difference in cooling systems between a Canadian and US model. I've driven both my Si and Accord 2.0 through 100F+ ambient temp days in Texas with factor cooling on both the intake and radiator side of things.

It was 34c outside and heat warning has been given for this week. Just that you know, I was driving in the same condition for 4.5 hours journey of 550kms ( roughly 300 miles) may be just one quick break to fill in gas...

Got to about 97F and very muggy. My car's intake temps were at 170F at a stand still, ended up turning the car off when not moving.
Seems hot for up there. I recently took mine from central Texas down to the coast (200ish miles there, around town and 200ish miles back) and had zero issues. Rain, tons of humitidy and temps well over 90F (roughly what you had). Always possible it is overheating or like I said, an electrical issue brought on by excessive heat.
Heatsoak is real at those temps haha I can attest to that. I've never shut mine off even in traffic at 104+ but, again, makes me wonder if there are any major differences in the cooling systems between y'alls and mine. Interested to see what comes out of this. Hopefully whatever it is gets taken care of by Honda for the OP

The number of electronic gadgets in these cars is my only concern with the car. Sometimes I want to sell it and pick up something older and less complex.

Thats so true. The only computers we had those days were radio, ECU and may be just the AC I guess...lol..

The car is under 7 year warranty. My hands are tied to take it to a proper mechanic. I don't trust dealerships but at this point I just don't have a choice.

As somebody who came from the EG chassis primarily I have those thoughts all the time haha my favorite thing about my AP1 S2000 was how few electronics were on it when I went from a 93 Accord to that. The electronics are a gift and a curse...

Update - The service reception guy just gave the keys and said it has been fixed. I asked what was fixed? (See attached). Apparently what they think is there was not enough pressure going into the fuel pump and they had readjusted fuel pupm everything. So when I started the car, I could hear a buzzing noise coming ( like flight taking off) from the fuel pump. I asked the technician to talk to me and explained, they are going to replace the fuel pump module.. I am not an expert but all what I can say is I am still not satisfied with their fix. so am still here.

yes they replaced the fuel pump when they had the fuel pump recall last year. The latest recall that was performed last week was BCM that was irrelevant to

I just found this article. This is exactly the problem.

Honda Accord P0087: Fuel Rail/System Pressure → Too Low | Drivetrain Resource
P0087 is a relatively common OBD II trouble code. This code indicates that there is an issue with getting enough fuel pressure to the fuel rails. It's generic, which means that it has the same meaning for the Honda Accord as it would any other vehicle. This code is most common on vehicles that use

Looking at the diagnostic flow ch
Hard to believe the problem they're claiming from your pump took a year to show itself. Looking through the Honda diagnostic flowcharts seems to point to the direction of a fuel rail pressure sensor issue or a problem in the high pressure pump at the engine. I also don't have their live data to verify this with but what you have doesn't seem to be consistent with a lack of pressure on the low pressure (in the fuel tank) side of things.
It seems like yours isnt throwing a pressure sensor code which probably leads to a fuel pump issue. I don't think they're taking their time to do a proper diag on your car. It is possible the fuel pump was installed incorrectly but I would want them to "correct" that issue and go further through their flow charts to make sure your issue isn't in the high pressure system.I just found this article. This is exactly the problem.

Could be as simple as they didn't clip the connection in all the way. But there are many thread about this now. Me thinks maybe the heat from turbo engine is maybe melting some of a harness or something could also be an issue........ meow!
Very well could be. Unless they aren't giving all the info it doesn't have a code to suggest the pressure sensor or injector failure. Possibly a loose connection? I'd be curious to see if they checked the main FI relay and its connections. OP is the fuel pump noise you're hearing coming from the rear or up in the engine bay? You should hear some noise from the HP pump up front but not quite like what you stated.
