Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2005`87 Accord just stop running
`87 Accord fuel injected Stop running like someone turned off the key. fuel pressure OK. No fuel getting to cylinders, plugs are dry. Main relay checked out ok. Any ideas ?? > `87 Accord fuel injected Stop running like someone turned off the key. fuel > pressure OK. Possibly ignition electrical switch. Dash light and BLK/YL should have battery voltage when the ignition is switch to "ON." > No fuel getting to cylinders, plugs are dry. Main relay > checked out ok. Any ideas ?? Check the fuel injectors with a test light. I don’t know why I didn't think of it before but I only checked two plugs. Then I thought if the timing belt snapped the intake valves could be in the closed position. Sure enough the timing belt is toast. Thanks for responding. DZ wow 18-yr-old Honda...what's the milage ? > wow 18-yr-old Honda...what's the milage ? My current '87 Accord (my third now) is at 390,000km (about 244,000 miles). My first '87 had 160,000km (100,000mi.) when I got it in '94 and 478,000km (just shy of 300,000mi.) when I wrote it off in '03. These are great cars! --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Wow, what are your secrets ? you must baby the thing huh ;) You musta be very good at car mechanics eh ? I just got rid of my 90 Legend at <sigh>only</sigh> 160K miles for like US$900. It was in rather poor condition...I didn't take good care of it. :( I suppose that car (Japan-built, awesome engine) in your hand would last 500K miles. > `87 Accord fuel injected Stop running like someone turned off the key. > fuel pressure OK. No fuel getting to cylinders, plugs are dry. Main > relay checked out ok. Any ideas ?? Have you checked for ECU codes? Fuel pressure OK, but fuel not getting to injectors??? This does NOT make sense. How do you know the pressure's OK?  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > Fuel pressure OK, but fuel not getting to injectors??? This does NOT make > sense. How do you know the pressure's OK? Yes it does. If you disconnect pin 3 on the main relay, you have pressure but no injector. Note he said, "No fuel getting to cylinders." >> Fuel pressure OK, but fuel not getting to injectors??? This does NOT >> make sense. How do you know the pressure's OK? > > Yes it does. If you disconnect pin 3 on the main relay, you have > pressure but no injector. Note he said, "No fuel getting to > cylinders." And so it says in my very own FAQ. You are 100% correct. In fact, cracked solder to the injector feed is one of the failure modes of the Main Relay, but...it will set a Check Engine light with a Code 16. If no Code 16, then the ECU is seeing voltage when it tries to ground the injectors. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelayoperation/badmainrelay.html To the OP: Is your Check Engine light on? Are error codes stored in the ECU? How to check: http://www.iequus.com/assets/manuals/3173_ICCR_E_14JAN03.pdf Excerpt from above link: "Access ECU (located under front driver’s seat) (H4) by moving seat all the way back. Turn ignition on and observe LED on ECU for codes. Codes blinked out by LED are separated by two second pause, then repeated. For example: 2 blinks - two second pause - 2 blinks = code 2 (H14)" SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ I don’t know why I didn't think of it before but I only checked two plugs.
