[MidLifeCrisis]

Hey guys, my Honda Accord won't start. The starter turns the engine over, but it does not actually run. Could someone please help me with some ideas on what could be wrong? Please help.

Also my father said it could be the distributor, but he is not quite sure.

This is pretty broad man. You're going to need to check a host of things. Have you checked it for spark at the spark plugs? Have you checked to make sure the main relay is sending a signal to the fuel pump? Have you checked to make sure the fuel pump is operational?

Check for spark.


Check for fuel.


Post back.

i check the spark and the fuel is great .but i found a video on how it sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK3PByIs7nw

[StarBwoy]

take the oil cap off and spin the motor over if the valve train is not moving timing belt!!!!! then head work!!!!

ok i will be doing this

I had one that did the same thing, Igniter inn the Dizz was bad thats it. $40 and it ran like a champ. Try that.

[mitch lab]

Do a compression test.

[Barefoot]

tell me more

I would check compression, and timing belt. Most of the time its air, fuel, or spark. Always check the big 3 first.

[BITCHING]

i had one do that on me and it was my main fuel relay

[StarBwoy]

o ok

[Franco Tirador]

it may be the distributor the o ring went bad on my 93 accord so oil went in the distributor, just get another dist

[StarBwoy]

i will be checking that ^

if its an interference engine this is a bad idea

[K24cb7coupe]

need to check to see if its sparking, if it is then you need to check to see if the fue pump is turning on. if its not then try replacing the main relay.

[DustnU]

if its an interference engine this is a bad idea

No it's not!!!! Your not gonna spin it backwards.

[ballistic08]

No it's not!!!! Your not gonna spin it backwards.

if its an interference engine and you turn it over with a broken timing belt then you're gonna bend valves.

[whatever210]

if its an interference engine and you turn it over with a broken timing belt then you're gonna bend valves.

it is and he can get lucky like i did when my h22 snapped timing belt while driving and bent no valves. did a compression test and it was all good.

[ballistic08]

yeah he could get lucky. but its a good chance hes got valves open and they will bend if he turns that over, but I guess its up to him if he wants to buy new valves and a valve job.
