My accord won't start I have replaced the main relay and the starter distributor cap is good so are plugs and wires getting fire and fuel not sure what else to check in college so I'm nowhere near my normal tools to work with

 

Update on the car replaced the coil car started and ran for a few minutes tried to put it in drive it died then started back up ran for a few more minutes then died and wouldn't start when I first turned the key my d4 light was on any body have ideas this is the first Honda I've owned so not real sure what else to look at replacing

 

Not to be an a**hole but if you take the time to write in complete sentences it would be easier to read and you will get better responses. D4 light doesn't mean anything, it just shows what the last gear used was when the car was shut down.

- Can you use the throttle to keep the car from stalling? (is it an idle problem, or an engine problem?)
- If you rev the car up in park, does it sound healthy or does it struggle to run?
- Would help to check fuel pressure, there is a test port on the fuel rail near the master cylinder. I think Autozone will loan you a pressure tester for free. (My 92 Accord had low fuel pressure that would allow it to run, but not very well)
- Have you checked your ignition timing?
- Have you checked your compression?

Remember, the engine needs three things to run (and in the correct amounts) - spark, fuel, and compression. Make sure you really are getting good spark, check your fuel pressure, and compression. I bet you will narrow it down if you do.

 

I apologize for the horrible grammar never been good at writing papers. The distributor was bad just fixed the car yesterday. Now the only issue is the temp gauge isn't working at all. I was told there is some kind of temp season behind the distributor but don't remember seeing anything

 

There's a temperature sender (which controls the gauge on the dashboard) and a temperature sensor which is what the engine computer uses for engine control. They are both under the distributor.

The sender has a single pin connector while the sensor uses a two-pin connector. Replace the sender and your gauge should start working again.
