Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 200693 Accord Engine Code 15 igntion output signal
Here's my deal, we did a overhaul on the engine, new rings, valve seals, head gasket, timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump. The car started, ran strong, then after sitting for a week in a garage, no spark, no love at all, couldn't start the car. It has 223,000 miles on it. As far as everyone telling me the car was untouched for that week. Problem: -- Check Engine Light code 15 (ignition output signal) -- No Spark, engine does not turn over. Replaced the following: -- distributor -- rotor -- ignition coil -- distributor cap -- ecu -- ground wire -- battery -- spark plugs The code on the ECU will not reset, I checked the fuses and they all appear fine, in side and under the hood. Need your help... I'm at a loss. otherwise I'm going to start stripping it down and selling the parts to whoever needs them (seeing how I have a lot of new ones on there).

You mean the starter spins, the engine goes chugga chugga, but it won't fire? Or do you mean the starter won't turn? > Replaced the following: > -- distributor [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks When you crank the starter, does the tach needle jump a little bit? I notice you never said you replaced the igniter. That's likely the issue here.  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ The igniter is in the distributer, which I replaced, so that's new. Yes the engine goes chugga chugga, and no spark, I took out the starter and had that tested at autozone and it passed and is working property. I haven't seen the tach move at all when I try to start it up, and it's not key ignition either because I have a remote start on it and does the same thing when I try to start it from that. Help me please! I'm at a total loss on this one. I have too much of my own blood on that engine (from working on it) to strip it down and sell it's parts. > The igniter is in the distributer, which I replaced, so that's new.

SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Well, I guess there's one way to find out hugh, I'll test that piece, I think there's some volt/ohms testing I can do on it to see if it's working properly, I'll check that and see if that's the issue. I just didn't suspect that because the entire distributer is new and the igniter looks spankin new on it. I replaced my distributer once before, a few years back, and my old one looked a lot worse 'new' than this one... Oh well, I'll let you know how the testing goes. Thanks for the info again. ~the reason I don't think it's that is because my check engine light will not reset after unhooking the batery for 20 mintues and pulling the fuses. I guess I'll know in a while, won't be a few weeks until I can get back under the hood though.

Is that the kind of ignitor that's supposed to have Heat Sink paste on it, or it will FRY after a short while? "curly' doesn't ring a bell with me, my igniter looks like it just plugs in the side of the distributer, nothing special about it, it's covered by the dist cap... I'll let you know what goes on once I can get back under the hood. > doesn't ring a bell with me, my igniter looks like it just plugs in the > side of the distributer, nothing special about it, it's covered by the > dist cap...

I saw that on that link to the site (which I've actually checked out before, found it through google... good troubleshooting on it). > do you think it could be a main relay?
