I got a 93 accord wagon which just recently DIED on me on the road.. Took a corner normal speed and she shut off on me and has refused to restart since then.. Ive read as much as time allows me to read to see if I can fix the problem.. So far I have replaced the ign coil which I got from O'Reilly and it had a life time warranty so that didn't cost me any money up front this time.. Checked the timing belt and its tight and moves when cranking.. Bought a new Main relay because I had that thing go out on me aswel in the past and still no luck. I have checked to sdee if I get power to the 3 wires at the ign coil and I get power to the yellow so far. Cant check the other two wires cause I dont have a second set of hands to help me out. I am NOT getting spark to the Distributor out the ign coil. I have checked this with a spark plug test light. I have checked all the fuses and they still good.. I also tried listening for the fuel pump whine but i cant hear a darn thing while the first initial chimes go off.
It's your igniter, which is part of the distributor. If this fails you'll get power but the car will produce no spark and just turn over and over....
My Car has an external ign coil. Sends spark thru wire to distributor. Im not getting any spark out the coil. I have replaced the Ign coil already.. Is it possible to get a dud from O'Reilly's? Where would the igniter be located then?
The igniter is inside the distributor at the bottom. It has 4 spade connectors on it. There's a procedure in the service manual to test it (PDF floating around online).
Thank you all for the advice.. It happened to be the ignighter and it was a small pain to get it out but it was replaced.. Had to hot wire the car due to someone trying to steal my car while it was parked. She Fired right up after the issue was fixed.. Now to spend some more $$$ because some one can't keep there grimy fingers off my car..
1993 Accord Wagon died on me!!
Where would the igniter be located then?
