my cars ben running really bad when i try to excelarate it falls on its face and bogs out. so today it wouldnt start at all. it has spark so i tried some starting fluid and still nothing. what would cause it not to start has to be a fuel problem but why wouldnt it start with fluid. please help. is there a injecter relay problem or something

 

dont really know but the problem seems to be electronic, not fueling

 

thats what i was thinking i have no cel. i just replace the fuel filter yesterday. thought it was a coil but its still getting spark? is there a way to test if its getting enough spark??? could it be timing 96 acord ex dont have timing adjustment. wtf someone please help should i take an injector off the fuel rail to see if its worki ng???? this sucks any ideas would be great

 

I would start by taking a spark plug off and holding it near the chassis then starting the car, if you see it arc your getting spark. Any spark should be enough to ignite the mix. Get you ECU checked for codes, becuase you can throw a code that dosent trip the CEL it just gets logged.

Does the crank and attempt to start or do you hear a whirring noise when you go to crank it?

 

yeah it spark and i can hear the fuel pump working ima go check too see if there are any cades logged thanks

 

if it was a fuel problem it would start when you threw starting fluid in, therefore i would be checking for spark to, if your getting both , i would pull the plugs out and see if they are rich with gas on them, you could just have a flodded engine, take the plugs out and crank car over acouple of time without plugs in, then let it sit for about an hour, put plugs back in and see if your getting fire.

 

the plugs look perfect im getting spark so what could be a electrical part making it not run???? why wouldnt if fire with starting fliud if it has spark. it has to be something with the coputer but there is no code??????ahhhh this sucks ive biult an 11.0 turbo hatch but i cant get my stock accord to start...wtf please help

 

if theres fuel and fire it will start, sounds flooded, have you tried my previous post? timing belts moving right? and engine is turning just not firing right?

 

i just got it started but when i give it gas it chokes out and dies like not enough spark ar not enough fuel if i hold it to the floor it will sputter an backfire and pop through the intake the only way i can drive it is if i barely press the pedal a lil at a time if i give it too much gas it will sputter and die???????????????? im stumped

 

test vacuum lines and test the map sensor. also make sure all wires are firing, if the engine is shaking really bad it could be misfiring in one or more cylinders. hope some of this info helps.

 

how can i test the map sensor? is there a way to test the soil is there anything else to test...? and how i have a multi meter thanks for the help
