Default HELP: 95 accord ex four cyinder dead?

just brought 95 accord and thought it only needs a tune-up and and it still the same i check the comprison and all were at 160-170 psi and check for spark and all cylinder had spark as i was pulling the plug wires the number 4 cylinder didn't change it had spark going to it. i thought it was the fuel injector and replace it but still the same thing? is there anything else i should do?

Does your fuel pump kick on (once your turn the key on to the running position you can hear a buzzing noise in the trunk on the passenger side near the backseat back rest) does the engine turn oveR? we need a little more details on what it does when u try to start the car. and milage?

All things being equal, it should work. You've got the three ingredients
Compression
Fuel
Spark.
Or so you say
Although you've got spark to the plug, is it actually firing at the electrodes? You could have a cracked plug insulator or a bad wire boot. Pull the plug, inspect it, connect it's wire and ground it to something. Crank the engine; you should see a quite obvious blue/white spark
Although you've replaced the Fuel Injector, how about the signal to the injector? Without it, no injector (new or used) will work.

Either Ghost_in_red is extremely shy (which he / she shouldn't be), or we're witnessing the first ever effort on the part of our Mute Motorhead Contingent trying to communicate by signing!

Speak up son, we're not all a bunch of where-with-alls. Don't be afraid to contribute.
