Hey all ..got a 92 accord, drove her less than 8 hours ago. Started right up fine. This rainy morning I go to start her, she cranks fine ..but won't turn over. Like the title says, car makes a loud banging noise like sneakers in a dryer. Strong smell of fuel too. Does not sound well at all. I'm at my wits end with this car, you all have any idea?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

post a video. look under the hood while trying to start. i have never heard a car sound this bad and not end up replacing the engine unless your shoes sound different then mine.

 

Well ..fortunately the car turned over. Ive been periodically going out and restarting, driving around the block and such. Hasn't happened again since. But, Im still not too keen on taking it anywhere far. Thanks for your relpy, Ill make sure to try to grab a video however.

 

did someone tie sneakers to your belts ?? lol jk .. ive heard a lot of effed up engines and never made that comparison .. post up a vid

 

Pull the dist cap, check for wear and also be sure the "o-ring" is there. Could me water getting under the cap causing a miss in the engine........just my two cents.

 

LOL at the title hahaha thats funny ****. but yea post up a video if it happens again.
