I have an 1992 Honda Accord DX 2.2 4 cylinder manual. Replaced the intake gasket on it. I hooked up all the vacuum lines and electrical connectors. Now, the car will not crank. The car was running before I replaced the intake gasket. There is no fuel nor no spark. I replaced the main relay but, there still isn't any power to the yellow/blue wire which i believe to be the fuel pump. But, when i jump 12 volts to the yellow/blue wire the fuel pump runs but i still don't have any spark. I've check all the fuses all seem to be good. I replaced spark plug wires. I've check to see if voltage is getting to the coil which it is but there isn't any spark coming from the coil. This car coil is external then there is a spark plug wire that runs from the coil to the distributor cap. Everything was working on this car before the replacement of the intake gasket. What seems to be the problem???

 

did you replace the ground on the thermostat housing don't know if you removed that by any chance

 

look at your harnesses near the intake

 

I did remove it during the installation of the gaskets but i did hook it back up and all wire brushed the gold connector which had corrosion on it.

 

which harness near the intake?

 

Sorry to ask again but your answer wasnt very clear. Did you reattach the main ecu ground that attaches to the back of the thermostat housing mounting bolt ?

 

Yes, I did connect the ground at the bottom of the thermostat housing.

 

well you have the harness that runs under the intake you didn't pinch that did you? is the distributor hooked back up? what about the connection to the resistor box?

 

Distributor is hooked up, where is the resistor box located?
And I don't believe so because those wires are wrapped in some kind of black plastic tubing.

 

resistor box right side shock tower if you are looking under the hood.

 

I just checked the resistor box, i never unplugged it. But, i did wiggle the connector just to see if it was loose or broken. But, still no spark.

 

I'm getting a signal to the distributor cap. But, it's not that pulsating signal like it would be if i was getting spark.

 

ok go to distributor look for thick wire yellow/black or black/yellow can't remember grab a multimeter don't break the wire unplug it and LIGHTLY!! PROBE that wire you should get battery voltage

 

Correct, now there is a solid yellow wire and a black/white wire which one should i probe?

 

this black/yellow on the 2 wire connector

 

i took a picture of everything around the manifold that should be conneted

 

Ok thanks for the pictures, i probed the black/yellow and im getting voltage but does that proved?

 

that you should be getting spark... you sure you are not getting spark? how did you verify this?

 

check fuses with multimeter or probe light visual inspection is not enough

 

Correct im sure, I pulled the spark plug wire for cylinder 1 and put it close to metal and didn't see any spark. Also i pulled the wire from the ignition coil going to the distributor cap and still didn't receive any spark.

 

I checked to fuses with a multimeter. There where some where the mutimeter didn't read any voltage. So, I pulled those fuses and they looked perfect i tried switching fuses around but still didnt result into a running car.

 

mmmm freaky **** but kinda sounds like the ignition control module might of gone out. i just noticed you said it doesn't crank......... how did you test for spark without cranking the engine??

 

The motor turns over, but it doesn't result into me being able to rev the engine up "running car".

 

take out the ignition control module and go to autozne have it tested about 10 times in front of you to make sure it gets nice and hot. if it fails order a new one and ask for them to show you it passes the same test if it fails leave that autozone and find one with a working test machine.

 

anyone want to chime in the tach wire is it - or +?
