86 Honda Car won't start
1986 Honda Accord. I think it is in the fuel system. Engine cranks over good
like it is trying to start, but hear no "fire". Any tips on easy way to check fuel flow ? I disconnected the fuel filter (the one in the engine compartment) no flow there. maybe a fuel pump? Any sugestions? |
Re: 86 Honda Car won't start
Unplug the coil and while having someone crack it, see if there is any
spark. If so, and you have fuel, take the distributor cap off and crank again and see if it turns? If not, your timing belt broke.

If the engine rotates but will not start--these are some of the causes Leaking fuel injectors faulty fuel pump faulty pressure regulator fuel not reaching fuel rail Ignition components damp or damaged Loose distributer is changing ignition timing faulty coil broken timing belt defective fuel pump relay I copied the above out of a Honda Accord repair manual made by Haynes |

Any sugestions? ---------------------- Jacks, If it's carbureted, try pouring a couple of ounces (not quarts) of gas down the carb. That will prove if you have spark without the danger of spoiling your spouses' Christmas by electrocution (yours). :-) 'Curly' ------------------------- |
