My 1991 Honda Accord can't start
Hello, My 1991 Honda Accor LX can not start its engine today. I live in NY. I tried to start it for 10 minutes, but it didn't start. Does somebody have any ideas of what I have to do? Thank you very much in advance.

Re: My 1991 Honda Accord can't start
If you get in the car and turn the ignition on (do not try to start), do
you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds? If not you likely have a failed main relay. tiberiu11 wrote: > > Hello, > > My 1991 Honda Accor LX can not start its engine today. I live in > NY.

Re: My 1991 Honda Accord can't start
Hi, When I turn the ignition on for a few seconds I heard one noise, that looks like the fuel pump, and after this, the engine won't start. Last night was so cold, and probably this has affected something. Yesterday it started well.

Re: My 1991 Honda Accord can't start
In addition to the main relay possibly being a cause --
Have you turned on your headlights and do they appear to be full-strength? If not, try a jump start. Hopefully you just have a dead battery. How old is your battery? Next, carefully take the distributor cap off, have someone try to start the car while you watch the distributor rotor. If it does not turning when you try to start the car, your timing belt may need replacement. When is the last time you changed your distributor cap, rotor, plugs, and wires? All of these can be replaced at pretty low cost. Next, check the distributor's ignitor. See http://www.crx.org/southcal/tech/igniter/igniter.htm and http://www.crx.org/southcal/tech/igniter/default.htm for help diagnosing this. Last, suspect the distributor coil. The Achilles heel of circa 1990 Hondas are the main fuel relay, the distributor ignitor, and the distributor coil, roughly in this order. How many miles on your car? When is the last time an ignitor was put on it? A distributor coil? Were they OEM parts? These are the typical ailments. Updates welcome. Good luck.

Once you get it running, put a tiny bottle of gas line antifreeze in the gas tank to prevent icing, or if you can, fill the gas tank with ethanol-enhanced gas. It will help keep your injectors clean too. 'Curly' -- ================= |
