Well I replaced the spark plugs and wires on my 95 accord and now it won't start. It ran fine before but now, all it does is turn over. Wires are correct. There is spark. Fuel pressure is where it should be. New battery. New distributor. What could cause this? Any suggestions?

 

Doubly doubly make sure you didnt hook them up wrong. If there from autozone, those are crap, could be a bad set of wires.

 

They are connected right. And they are the the Duralast ones from autozone. I've never had a problem with eurozone wires before. Are you sure that could be the case?

 

Am I sure that could be the case? Of course I am sure it "COULD" be the case I have bought more than one set, from autozone that were poorly built. If it ran right before, then doesnt run right after... Return them and get a new set, see if that fixes it.

 

more than likely firing order messed up than bad wires but its possible

 

Well when i got home from work yesterday I thought "Wonder if itll start now. Lets give it a shot." So I tried starting it. It turned over the first time and ran for about 3-4sec then immediately shut off. It did this for the next 5 times I tried starting it. Any idea why its doing this?

My guess is ignition switch.

 

Well its not the ignition switch. Just replaced it. No luck.

 

put old wires back after checking the firing order

 

No can do. The old wires broke.

 

When it starts, is it running rough or normal? if its running rough, you definately have a firing order problem..

 

When you replaced the wires, did you replace them one at at time, or did you go by a diagram in a Chiltons manual(which is wrong)?

Crank engine so that the rotor is pointing to #1tower on the distributor, sometimes marked with a A or A1. Make sure it is on #1 spark plug which is the plug closest to the timing belt. Then check the firing order 1-3-4-2.

 

ran before with old wires could be a bad set of wires but i think you didn't do them one at a time ...

 

What exactly do you guys mean by this? I was planning on changing the plugs/wires and dist cap/rotor on my 94 accord lx using my Chilton manual ('84-'95 Accord/Prelude) as a reference but now you got me worried...

Could you explain what they got wrong about spark plug replacement in the Chilton manual, and possibly any other things you know they got wrong as well?
