Change thermostat, then car wont start
I just thought i'd post this to save some people some diagnosing. I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX 5 speed F22A1. A while back i flushed my coolant, and changed my thermostat. When i went to start the car, it wouldnt start. The fuel injectors werent firing and i had no spark.
Anyway, i think the engineers at honda must have been sleeping on the job when they decided to ground part of the pcm through one of the thermostat cover bolts. When i replaced the thermostat i must have missed that little wire, but that wire is absolutly neccesary. Anyway it took me over an hour to relize it was something as simple as that, so i didnt want that to happen to anyone else. So maybe my car just got messed up somewhere down the line, otherwise honda... WTF?
