'92 Accord won't start at all
Recently the radiator hose in my '92 Honda Accord busted, showering th engine. I had the car towed and the radiator hose replaced. Now i won't start. I put in a new battery, just to make sure it's enoug juce. I tested for spark; there was none. I replaced the ignitio coil; still no spark on cranking. There also is no spark from the coi wire when held about a quarter inch from ground. There is voltage o the two center connectors of the ignitor. I tried to test the EC connector on the ignitor (without removing the wire) by putting an LE (with 650 Ohms in series) between that contact and the plus of th battery. On cranking I think it first blinked a few times and then i stopped blinking. Did I mess up the ECU by doing that? The plasti covers on the ignitor connectors appear to be brittle, like they took lot of heat. What should I do next? Replace the ignitor? Can I do test to check the ECU? How do I obtain trouble codes from the ECU ( see comments about bridging two wires, but I don't know where the are.) When I turn the ignition key, one step before the cranking position, hear what appears to be the fuel pump relay for a few seconds. Ye when I check the spark plugs after cranking, they appear quite dry. I that as it should be? Any help is much appreciated - pjs ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via RealCarAudio.com - The checkmate of the caraudio community http://www.RealCarAudio.co pjs7's Profile: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/m...nfo&userid=391 View this thread: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/s...?threadid=4638 |

Re: '92 Accord won't start at all
Thanks, Curly. Yes, the rotor is turning. Since the problem started right after the busted radiator hose, I a wondering whether that (the flood of water) might have anything to d with it.

Re: '92 Accord won't start at all
This may sound off the wall.......in the old days after we washed the
engine we ran the engine to dry off all the electrical items. I suggest you use a hair dryer on their exterior to heat up and dry the inside the electrical components where water could have entered. Assuming your wife will let you use her hair dryer, if it works, it's a cheep fix.

BTW, I checked all fuses, they are all good. Great idea--excellent post--keep up the great work. I don't know where the air cleaner is located on a 92 Accord--check it and make sure it is dry. A vehicle won't start if the air cleaner is saturated with water. I learned this valuable lesson after washing a motorcycle. I was not aware that the cover on the air cleaner allowed water to flow into the air cleaner. Also, you might want open the distributer and dry off everything. |

Re: '92 Accord won't start at all
If none of that works, do this: Take a paper towel and thoroughly wipe out
the inside of the distributor cap making sure to get all particles of trash out of it, and off of contacts. Then, after that, take a can of WD40 and spray a THIN film inside the distributor cap. (DO NOT overdo this. You should have NO excessive "run" whatsoever) Don't wipe out the film of WD40. Leave it in there. Replace distributor cap and try to start. I had to do this on my 1990 Civic LX after my dad "washed" the engine. He sprayed GUNKŪ cleaner on the engine and then hosed it off. It absolutely would not start. After I did what I mentioned above, it started up immediately. The engine will not fire at all if there is so much as a single molecule of condensation is inside the distributor. Good Luck! Jonathan P.S. If this doesn't work the first time around, spray WD40 on the paper towel, re-wipe inside of distributor cap, then re-wipe with dry paper towel, then spray thin film of WD40 again. If it doesn't work after 3 tries, then moisture inside the distributor cap is not the problem. "T.
