1996 accord lx wont start!
 
hello, everyone!
my accord wont start! it wont turn over. the stereo and lights all
work. thought it was the battery at first so i replaced it this
weekend. tried to start it and got nothing. CHECK ENGINE light was on
for a while and there was a knocking noise on the driver side of the
engine which stopped whenever the car stopped or was left to idle
before it "met its maker". please help!

Do you get a click, or nothing at all when you turn the key?

Check both ends of both battery cables.Check ECU ground at thermostat
housing, check engine ground from valve cover to rad support.

Get the code read. AutoZone or PartSource will do it for free.

Wait a sec - if it can be driven to AutoZone, would he still need to get the

D'oh!

In that case, if the OP can't get the beast running, he'll have to buy
or borrow an OBD-II tester. You can get those fairly inexpensively these
days.

If no CRANK,it's probably a worn starter solenoid.

Can it be push-started?
Does it CRANK,and then not RUN,or you turn the key and nothing happens,no
clicks?
