My 1987Honda Accorrd DX lost power going down the Highway. Now it will no
longer turn over at all. When I turn the key all the lights and everything
work fine but there is no attempt of the engine to start. I was thinking
starter but why would it die while driving.
Please help

Well I have replaced the battery and the car now turns over but will not
start. All that happens is the started turns but the car will not fire. Is
there a chance this is a Cilinoid problem or fuild pump. I did try starter
fluid and had no change.
Thanks for your help!

First check for spark when starter fluid doesn't work. This car doesn't have
a main relay but check the ignition circuit and make sure they have power.

Wild guess. You broke a timing belt or ran a car with a loose battery. The
voltage rise pass 16 and blows the ECU's (Emission Control Unit) capacitor
and now you have a hard start.
