Have K11LT. 40k miles, never missed a beat - till now. Battery died. Replaced with new Odyssey and replaced air and fuel filter at same time. On initial start, all normal EXCEPT heard groan sound after fuel pump cycled. Does this every time I turn the key. Starts and idles fine while on high idle. When warm and with choke off, idle is low and sometimes drops to about 500rpm. Doesn't stall, but seems on the verge.
While running, it hesitates badly at constant speed requiring additional throttle to maintain speed. Feels as though fuel pump is cutting out, yet checks of connections and continuity are good and fuel pump seems to check out fine as does fuel filter, fuel pump filter sock, and all in-tank hoses.
My only thought at this point is failed fuel pressure regulator which may account for the groan sound after fuel pump cycling.
Any thoughts, suggestions, related experience would be greatly appreciated as this is my daily commuter ride!
