92 Honda Accord - will not start
I have a 92 Honda accord that will crank over but will not start.
I replaced the main relay, fuel filter, cap, rotor, and spark plugs. The distributer cap rotates when I rotate the engine. Timing belt seems to be OK. I removed one of the spark plugs and cranked the engine. There is a nice bright blue spark. I released the fuel pressure when I replaced the fuel filter, and then cranked the engine, a large stream of fuel squirted out of the fuel line when I cranked the engine. I had an assistant spray starting fluid into the intake while I cranked, but the engine did not show any sign of starting. When I crank the engine, the tach does not move at all, is this a sign that the igniter is bad? I have heard that the electrical ignition switches go out, but my car is not starting at all when cranking. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! Jeff |

Make certain that spark is actually making it all the way to the plug that's installed in the engine. If the current finds a ground anywhere before the plug, your tests will tell you nothing. Your blue spark tells you the distributor is just fine. Check the plug wire and the tube in the head for signs of arcing. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
