When you change the TB & WP, get the genuine Honda parts. That job is too
labor intensive to go cheap.

Re: Accord 91 EX does not start. --FINALLY !!

Definitely, Bill.
I have been reading a lot of posts regarding that and yep everybody says one
thing for TB and WP ....go for Honda Parts.
Infact even the coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid I bought the
Genuine Honda fluids.

thanks
HNB.

Trojan,
I bought a new 91 accord EX. At 40K miles I walked out of a convenience
store and the engine would not turn over. It was towed to a dealer and
repaired free. There was a recall out to replace the igniter unit in the
distributor. This is not the coil. But if you ever have similar problems
this may help.
