93 accord 4cyl wouldnt start on occasion has progressively gotten to will not start period. changed out fire control module in distributor , new rotor button and dist. cap. What would professional do instead of throwing parts at it?

 

is it not cranking?

is it a manual transmission?

are there, or were there some blueish crayon looking pieces on the floor board?

if it is a manual, it could be the rubber button for the clutch safety switch on the top of the pedal arm.

try the fuse box in the kick panel to check the starter safety fuse first. if the fuse is good, see if you can use a small piece of wire to jump across the slot for the fuse and see if it starts.

 

any mechanics in Pittsboro NC ??

 

stick shift/ turns over fine/ good hot battery

 

crayons on floorboard .. that,s funny because there are assorted colors on floorboard in back?
What is signifigance?

 

thanks lawless1, We apparently have same make and model. I knew my bragging would have concequinces and my trusty honda would one day need repair. She has taken me many places and has nearly 1/4 million miles on her.

 

if it's cranking check for fuel

there is a test for fuel pressure on here somewhere

 

Needs two things to run, fire and fuel. Figure out which one it is missing. Id check for spark first, as it is easier. They sell spark testors, for about $4 at the auto parts store. Theyre very handy to have. If it is good, then check for fuel pressure. First make sure the pump is working. You can turn the key to on, and listen for the whirr sound. if you hear it, then check for pressure. If you dont hear it, then you need to find out why the pump doesnt have 12V. And if it does have 12v, then you may have a bad pump. Then go from there.

 

I would check for fuel and spark and go from there....

 

suck bang blow

you need air, fuel/spark, exhaust

works for every engine
