1991 Honda Accord
listen... i'm gonna be short as possb.
pulled a plug out of distrubutor a night before (security reseasons!!... next morning forgot about it n tryed to crank it... ir ran for about 2 sec n died. reconnected the plug and tried to crank it again... nothing...
I know its either plugs, wires, distr. or crank sensor... question... opinion?

 

you getting any cels ?

 

everything seems to be in order... it feels like its not getting enough spark somewhere... hmmm... later

 

If it was the crank sensor. You would be getting a check engine light.

 

not always...

 

The title says "Won't crank" so don't waste time with plugs, wires, & sensors. Look at the starter motor, big-wire connections to the starter, & battery.

Does the small wire at the starter have battery voltage when you try to crank? If not, then look for flaky ignition switch or bad connections around there.

 

this is an interesting topic, whats generally the best thing to unplug under the hood for a simple un-startable car?

IF they know their way around the engine.

Starter signal wire?
Distributor gang-harness plug?
Fuel pump fuse?

With a little creativity, you could interrupt power TO the ignition switch with a hidden toggle switch somewhere that ONLY you know about.
