I am tryin to narrow down why my car isnt starting. I have a 92 accord and my dissy went on the parkway. Its automatic so i rolled off the parkway in drive. I fixed the spark situation but now its not starting. Did a compression test and I yeild 120 across the board. Considering every cylinder has the same comp, I assume the belt skiped some teeth. I cant tell because I can't find any markings whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would love a helms scan if it even has a diagram of the alignment.
Thanks in advance...

 

Maybe you should check your dizzy again... are you sure your getting spark? Why do you think its the timing belt since Im assuming it was fine before your dizzy took a dump

 

The timing marks are found...

on the crankshaft pulley and lower side cover, and the cam gear (you'll need to remove the valve cover to see the markings on the cam gear most likely).

I'm more familiar with the 94-97 timing marks and I'm not sure if the timing marks for the 90-93 motors are the same. The general locations are the same, I'm just not exactly sure where the marks are on the cam gear and what part you need to line them up with. For example, on the 94-97 motors the B1 and B2 use slightly different locations for lining up the timing marks. On the crankshaft pulley there should be a notch you'll need to line up with a post on the lower cover.


I'm sure someone more familiar with the 90-93 marks will be able to help you more.

 

90-93 accords have a rubber plug where the trans bolts to the block; open it up and you'll see the "T" mark on the fly wheel. Based on the even compression, I'd think the T-belt is okay.

 

yo same thing happened to mine, what does it sound like when you try to start it?

 

120 psi is not enough! These guys usually run about 180-200psi Check those timing mark as mentioned before and if every thing lines up (Including balance shaft marks.) then complete a cylinder leak down check. Then head for ignition or fuel.

 

I am getting spark and fuel perfectly. When I first bought the car a few months ago, I had 190 psi across the board which is as good as new. Considering every cylinder has even compression, yet the wrong compression leads me to believe that the timing is off. I know that on every motor I have ever worked on, the cam pulley, belt cover, and crank pulley had lines on them to line everything up but this car doesnt. Obviously there is another way to line them up.

Every 3-4 turns, there is a very faint putt...
