H-E-L-P Acura Integra won't start....
Hi,
I own a 91 Acura Integra RS and after working just fine going to work it wouldn't start again at the end of the day. Battery is okay, Fuel pump is working. Starter is working.
I had the Distributor exchanged with a rebuild one ca. 3 months ago and when I took the cap off yesterday it looked like there was ash and charring around the push rod.
Anybody ideas about if it is indeed the Distributor or there might be other things going wrong? The last time my Distributor quit, there was loud metallic grinding because the bearing had gone.
Thanks for your feedback!!!!

Pull a spark plug and check for spark while someone turns it over, hold the spark plug to a ground unless you'd like to be the ground

Is the car turnning over? Just like other people said. I would check if you are getting spark from your plug wires. If its not that check if your plugs ae fouled. I used to have a Nissan Sentra and it had a little pin size hole in the wire and it didnt start. So that maybe it too.

Painful, yes.
That's why I said touch it to the ground unless you want to be the ground.

when you ground the spark plug, all you do is take a spark plug out of the car and then stick it into one of the wires, just like how it would go in the car, and hold it next to a bolt. have someone crank it and if you see spark then youre getting spark. make sure to hold the wire not the plug itself.
edit: i thought i was responding to the op, cuz i thought tekstyle was the op since he was asking about grounding the spark plug. so i guess this info goes to you tekstyle.
