The spark plugs looked ok. The 5 blinks were from me disconnecting the battery according to the manual. I'm currently setting up a tow for me to take it to lute riley honda. My wallet is bracing itself. I called the original dealership I bought it from and he asked me which Honda I'm taking it to and to just let him know what they say... so I guess it seems they might help if it turns out not to be my fault?

If you cant turn the engine by hand, then you most likely broke or bent a rod. It happened to a buddy of mine too. He also had a 2007 with similar miles to yours.

How was that caused? How much was the repair? Do I even want to know?

u should bring that back exactly where u purchased it. Isnt there a 30 day rule on cars? many states have 15 or 30 day grace period on sale of used cars.

unless u did something to that car u are not telling us, u have nothing to worry about. just be sure you go to where u purchased it from.

That dealership is 5 hours away.

Definitely keep that avenue open with the dealer that sold it to you. If it is internal damage the costs to repair/replace at a dealer will be huge, not too bad if someone will warranty it.

Just watched your videos and I think you got bent/broken rod(s). My buddy's 2007 did the same thing as we were trying figure out why the engine wouldn't turn. Then I tried Turing the engine by hand and it's wouldnt move at all. He was just driving normally and the engine Just shut off. The oil level was fine and his s2k only had 47k miles on it. It cost him like 10k+ but he rebuilt the engine and boosted it.

On a side note.. This problem seems to be getting common on low milage 2007 s2k's. This is like the 3rd-4th 07 s2k that it has happened to. It's more common among European s2k's. I don't know what Honda did with the 2007 s2k engines. But they must have changed something Or used a lower quality part...

I dropped it off at honda earlier.

Wow! How the heck did he bend the rods? Was the engine seized?


Thanks!

I don't know it was just a mechanical failure. The oil level was good and it was not overfilled, so that ruled out the possibly of the engine sucking up oil and hydro locking it. I searched around a bit to see what would cause this issue. I found a few threads of the same problem happening to other people. All were low mileage 2007 s2k's...
