Default 1991 Honda Accord Refusing to Start

Hello everyone!

I have a 1991 Honda Accord 5-speed Manual (I believe it's the LX) that is refusing to start on me. I'll go through the steps I have taken, any other information you may need I will gladly provide.

INFO
Miles: 310,000
Last Oil Change: ~2000 mile ago
Last Driven/Started: Just under 24 hours ago, no problems starting then.

What I've Done (cue Linkin Park stuck in your head)
  • Attempted to Jump start (No change)
  • Attempted to Jump after sitting on cables for 10 minutes (No change)
  • Removed starter, brought it in to Advanced Auto Parts for Test. Result: Starter OK. Not 100% but said it should still be reliably starting the car. They tested one off the shelf to compare, that one was faulty and showed a worse score than mine.
  • Replaced Starter in vehicle, attempted to start. (I now get a High Pitched *Whine*, more like a high pitched warning buzzer? Can record audio if that would help.)
  • After hearing the sound, thought the battery may have been low after all, attempted another Jump (No Change, still whining)
  • Tried jumping while sitting on 10 minute cable time again (Still No Change)

So here I am Honda-Tech, the proud owner of my little 1991 Accord. What steps should I take? Is it worth the hassle to fix at this point?

Thank you!

First lets understand what you mean by no start. Does the engine turn over. That is when you turn the key to start do the pulleys and belts on the engine move?

"holmes"......."type94" has been hung up on "main relays" since the day he joined. He will also tell you there is a "factory/OE" adjustment for the read camber.

Oh, and don't forget he "thought" his Accord came with an "H" motor in it because the engine stamp had the "HA" above the F22xxx . Now that was a good one....I get a smile just thinking about that thread.
