The DB doesnt want to start. Its trying to turn over but wont catch. Inliner fp gauge reads 15psi. What else cah I check besides relays and fuses?

cheap bastard
Well I know you know to check all the basics. Will it sputter like it's actually trying to start? Are the injectors firing and are you positive it's getting spark?
 
I pulled the plugs, they had oil on them. Also, there was a little pool of oil on the pistons. I dont know what could be causing the oil to get into the chamber.I realize that blow by is a possibility, but it seemed like a lot of oil for blow by.

My name matches again lol
I don't know why there's oil on your plugs, but when my DC didn't start, it was because of a loose ground wire. Check your grounds, mainly the one on top of the thermostat.
 


I forgot to tell you, once I replaced the plugs it started right up. I just hope it keeps starting.
I just need to figure out why thereis oil on the plugs and on the pistons.

your valve cover gasket is bad, the tube seals are letting in oil. easy fix 4 you.

Good call bro! :thumbs up
I talked to my buddy who is a master tech and he told me the same thing. So I went to the Acura dealer, got some OEM tube seals and a tube of Hondabond. I replaced the tube seals and Hondabonded the valve cover gasket. I just got done a minute ago, I hope it fixes the problem.
