      Honda's direct-injection engines are less susceptible to carbon buildup than other brands. By design, the combustion chamber's injectors spray onto the backside of the valves. :love:

      If you have access to a boroscope, you could inspect the combustion chambers. Perhaps, even the intake tract.

      We own a GDI car that requires yearly cleaning of the intake. We use BG44k.

      All the above said, I agree with pulling a spark plug when the engine doesn't start. If it looks 'good' (light gray electrodes, no obvious difference between cylinders in carbon or gasoline, proper gaps, etc) they can be re-used The Iridium plugs used by Honda should last MUCH longer than 85K miles, though. One user here reported his car ran fine on original plugs at 200K miles! :eek:

      Direct injection can enhance an engine’s efficiency.
      • Traditional multi-port fuel-injection systems mix fuel and air in the engine’s intake ports before they enter the combustion chamber.
      • However, with the CR-V’s direct injection, fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber.
      • This promotes a desirable “tumble motion” in the intake charge, making for better combustion and higher overall fuel efficiency.
