    Hi txgreasemonkey,
    I see no solution for this case, as no one seems to find the problem. Here's the situation:
    1- ECU gives the following error code: "08-2 TDC SENSOR (1) NOISE"
    2- An independent mechanic says that Top Dead Center sensor's malfunction do not stop the engine. Perhaps this malfunction is causing another malfunction somewhere or vice-versa, and that's the other one causing the trouble. He gives no guaranties for any replacement.
    3- Honda's authorized service says nothing, and demand several days to checkup the car without guaranties.
    4- Another independent mechanic says that "yes", TDC sensor's malfunction could make the engine to stop, and it usually does as time passes regarding the engine's temperature.

    So... I will not spend money without guaranties.
    As this problem is very dangerous, I will change my car.

    Thanks for your support!
    All the best!

    PS. I also have an HP iPAQ pocket computer with a strange electronic problem. It went for technical support service four times and allways came back with the same problem. Finally HP will replace this equipment for a new and different one, but I wonder if I have some strange electronic influence over this kind of objects..
    I wish I could buy a mechanic car, like my family 1960's VW, that was there for 25 years or more without any kind of problems..

    No, it's nothing with you--life is just getting very complicated. Electronic problems can be extremely frustrating and difficult to diagnose/solve. Most of us are encountering similar problems today.

    I would definitely be inclined to replace the TDC Sensor, in addition to the main relay we talked about earlier. On Hondas with distributors, TDC Sensor failure will require replacing the distributor housing for the engine to run properly. It should be no different here. I would try buying the parts yourself and installing them. Keep me posted and don't give up!
