I searched but couldn't find a thread to my problem! I have a 92 accord and last week the car would start now this week I have power to everything now on my dash the cel, battery, and oil light are dime but everything else is bright. My fuel pump doesn't prime and the starter doesn't spark at all when you touch it with a screw driver.! I'm stumped on this one and need help cause my car is down and I need to pay bills.

 

Will the engine crank over? Likely an ignition switch, Main Relay, or power issue to the ECU.

 

No it won't turn over no more, I have full power to everything but when I try to crank it, it does nothing. The cel, battery and oil light are dim wheil the rest of the lights on the gauge cluster is bright!

 

check voltage to starter if theirs voltage, and your timing belt doesnt rotate then its your starter. if no voltage to starter check ignition switch.

 

sounds like a main relay to me. does the CEL stay on? it should turn off after the fuel pump primes before you turn the key. if it stays on then the contacts on the main relay are bad. replace that bad boy! it's a common problem with that generation accord.

 

engine will spin with a bad relay.

 

The fuel pump isn't priming, the motor isn't starting over at all very little spark to the starter so I'm going with the ignition switch!

 

take the oil cap off and look to see if your valves move, if so your starters fine and your timing belts not broken. so thats a start. how many miles are on your timing belt? I believe its your starter pal, you said you get voltage to the starter, so its your starter onward.

 

What transmission do you have? If it is an automatic there is a "neutral safety switch" which is to keep you from starting in gear. When they go out it sometimes acts like a bad starter in that nothing happens. You can try starting in neutral although that does not always work. I do not recall the procedure to bypass the switch, but it is easier to start by checking for voltage at the starter. I say check for voltage even though you say you do not get a spark as there could be some low voltage that might give you a clue about something else.

If you have a manual transmission there is a similar switch (which is easier to access) that is activated when the clutch is depressed.

The clutch switch is good I hear it click so that's out of the picture.
