HELP ! HELP !

MY HONDA ACCORD 99
WAS RUNNING OK I WENT TO THE STORE AND WONT START. CHECK AND REPLACE BATTERY, DISTRIBUTOR, MAIN RELAY, ALL FUSES, COIL AND STARTER. THE CAR MAKE NOISE LIKE WANT TO START AND NOTHING IT KEEPS DOING JIJIJIIJJI AND NOTHING. WE CHECK AND THE INJECTORS ARE NOT OPENING AND THE GAS PUMP IS WORKING. IT LOOKS LIKE HAVE A GHOST.... CAN ANYBODY PLEASE TELL ME OR DIRECT ME TO WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.
THAT DAY WAS VERY HOT 110 DEGREES DOES THAT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT?
PLEASE HELP.... I NEED THE CAR SO BAD...I HAVE TO HAULT THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND BEEN TRYING WITH NO LUCK. :-(

DO YOU THING COMPUTER BURN?

 

Cables, try getting a jump. Or clean tighten the cables. That fast clicking noise is a sign of not enough power/ground.

 

Hard to say but it sounds like she's saying the car cranks over but does not start? I always start with ignition (do the plugs have fire) then I go to fuel system, is it getting fuel to the cyl/plugs. It's usually one or the other if the starter is turning over.

 

The 98 and up accord ( 6 gen) uses chipped key, so make sure you're using the right key. It happened to me once so i figure I just throw that out there. Try starting the car with starting fluid too btw.

 

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY !

WE TRY THAT THE PLUGS HAVE FIRE BUT THE INGECTORS ARE NOT OPENING TO SEND THE FUEL. WE ALSO CHECK AND CHANGE DISTRIBUTOR AND COIL AND NOTHING ;-( ANY OTHER CLUES....
THANKS

 

Yes if the injectors are not shooting fuel and the fuel pump is working then I would have to say check the ECU. That's what tells the injectors when to fire. I would check the fuse for the ECU first. It should be in the under the hood fuse box. If thats good then the ECU may have a problem.

 

If you turn the key to the Accessory position, do the power windows, lights, radio, etc work?

 

 

Thanks Steve

I already check fuses but to make sure i will double check to see if not i will get crazy i will have to hault it to dealership so they can check ECU and whatever is bad. We really have been doing all posible things. Do you know if the fuel pump have a relay also? i was searchinf ans looks like it does i will double check. If you think about anything else please let me know. ;-)
Thanks

 

I've drained a battery by listening to the radio from one car while working on another. WHen I went to start the "tunes" car go that same "click" sound........have you checked the battery connections or tried what MM suggested?

Very simple, if you have a volt meter. Measure the voltage of the small wire at the starter while trying to start the car, post the voltage reading.

 

I'm leaning toward the ECU as well.

 

Did you test the starter itself?

 

The starter cranks and the fuel pump cycles she stated earlier. The injectors are not firing.

To the OP, no I do not believe the fuel pump has a relay. If it cycles on when you turn the key to accessory then its pumping. I'm assuming you have plenty of fuel in the tank. If the injectors are not firing its ECU related.

 

Hello
Today i will tow the car to the dealership i remove ecu but it needs to be plug in the car to be diagnose. this is the last thing we can do. lets see hoe it goes. thanks for all the replies.... :-(

 

The main relay operates the fuel pump and supplies power to the injectors. However, in the OP's case, she already replaced the main relay and it doesn't sound like a main relay problem.

Hey angrylady did the dealer find out what the problem was I am having the same exact problem with my 98 accord check everything you mentioned fuse dizzy fuel pump sparkplugs wires injectors and timing still no start getting as frustrated as you plz let me know what you found out really need to get my car going for work....
thanks

 

Are you getting 12v to the small wire on the starter? Angrylady never did answer that question??????

SteveZ-I don't see where the OP ever said/conformed the starter was turning the engine? Weak connection or weak battery.

 

Takin a WILD guess :

Its Broken Timing Belt

 

IM LEANING TOWARDS THE ECU.

 

Thank you JDMCertified, I rest my case.

 

Thanks Redbull

Very good and helpful information i will try let see what happen. This cars only have 1 main relay? or they have another for the fuel pump . I dont have the manual for this car honda accord v tec 1999. thanks ;-)

 

Not yet I coudnt take it to dealership I will try for this wekeend and replied you back. so far it looks like ecu needs to be check and flash back to settings. I went to a honda place but honestly the owner told me he could verify anything that is wrong on the ecu but not re flash it back so it will be more $$$$ the better thing is just dealership they can check it and also re flash back they are the only ones because they have the equipment for that. I will let you know. Thanks

 

Thanks Steve
You been very helpful.
God bless!

 

I had the same problem, my car wouldnt start on a very hot day because the solder joints on the main relay went bad. Ordered a new main relay online and it started right up and havent had a problem ever since. I red somewhere that the main relay acts like a switch to the fueling system so if its broken, your car will crank but will not get fuel to start.

 

Good info!
