Greeting to one and all.
I have a 97 Accord 4cyl 2.2l EX. I have just finished regular maintainence on it and she won't turn over. I got a new bat and new distributor and rotor. Alternator is fine but still won't start.

Anyone have any ideas on wat it could be???

 

if it is not turning over then check the battery, I dont care if its new check it anyway. then check that the connections are nice and tight on the termanials. next step is check all the fuses. if it still isnt starting trace the power at the starter, or just get a hammer hit the starter and try it. otherwise the only thing i could think of is the elictronic part of the ignition switch. if you get a book and do the step by step checks it will save you time and money.

 

Have you tried to jump it off? Then if still no go, then grab your alternator belt and see if you can turn the engine over by hand. If the engine turns, then I would do like hondaccord suggested and check your battery (more than one dead battery has been sold), fuses, etc. If you have access to a volt meter, I'd pull it out to check your battery voltage along with the voltage at the starter and to make sure you're getting voltage at the starter when the key is turned over to start. If everything else checks, pull the starter and take it to Advance or AutoZone and have them check it.

He said it wont turn over, not that it wont spark.
When you changed the alternator was the before or after the alternator?
Some people dont disconnect the battery when doing an alternator and the positive lead touches ground and pops the main fuse.

 

It was before I the new one.
