Icon7 92 Accord does not crank.

I have new battery, starter, distributor and alternater. The lights turn on but does not crank. Not sure what else to check for. Does anyone know what it could be.

You need to give a better history of what was going on before you started replacing parts. Perhaps the small connector for the starter isn't plugged in.

Well before the car would crank and thats with the new part installed then the battery died (lights would dim when trying to start it) so I left the car sitting for a while then I bought new battery and now it won't even crank. I know it has gas for sure.

Yes I checked and cleaned both ends. I even tried jump starting my car and still no crank. Could my starter be going out even if its fairly new. Its a remanufactured one from mexico.

doesnt sound very reassuring, pull it out and take it back for a test.
it's worth the extra dough to get denso or other made in japan parts.

You should check all the fuses in the engine fuse box assembly and the driver side kickboard fuse assembly, especially the 80a fuse in the engine box fuse assembly.

Then you can test the starting system with this Honda Acura Essential Electrical Repair Website. Troubleshooting Main Relay, Coil, Igniter, etc.

If you're not getting power to the small wire that connects to the starter it's possible the ecu is bad or if the car has an aftermarket car alarm, especially a Viper or DEA brand alarm it's possible the starter disable function of the alarm is malfunctioning. You can try jumpering the starter or push starting it(if you have a manual trans).
