im working on my gf's mom's accord..its a 92 or 93 and i have no idea whats wrong with it....i checked for spark and it was good...battery was good...and had fuel..car seemed like it almost wants to start but just wont turn over....any ideas? bad ecu? or ignition? help me out...i have limited time cuz im from out of town..just visitng...and sucks when you dont have the shyt you need....

 

Do the lights turn on? Are you getting electricity to the car? How did you test the battery to know that it's good?

 

yeap im getting good power because i took the battery out of a running car and used it.....it feels like its about to kick over but it doesnt...and its hard when you dont have the stuff u need to work with

 

from what i was told...it would start up and die on its own at times....then it just went dead...i took out the spark plugs to check for spark and i do have spark but that shyt was wet from oil leaking..bad o-rings....im not sure if its the main ignition switch behind the steering wheel because it turns and everything.....more help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You say that it tried to start but died. It has fuel coming to the fuel rail, sparks good (how ever it might not be strong enough to burn the intake gas), .... I could only think of two things: one is the distributor coil is going bad but not dead and two is to spray the intake with starter fluid and have someone starts the car while you spray the intake with starter fluid. Or, lastly replace the distributor.

i doubled checked again and it seems like there is no fuel flowing..i tried to crank it a few times and then checked my sparkplugs and they were just dry...didint even smell like gas...so im starting to look into the fuel pump and the main fuel pump relay....i highly doubt that it is the ignition coil in the dizzy cuz i was told that it was replaced not to long ago...
