Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 200691 accord, started then died a few minutes later, no spark
Timing belt is ok, main relay is ok. There is some maroonish powder under the distributor cap. So it could be the distributor, coil, and/or the ignitor? Spark plugs were way overdue for replacement and the gap was like .070! Installed new plugs last night gapped at .040. New cap and rotor too. How can i test the coil? What does the poweder/dust signify? thanks > Timing belt is ok, main relay is ok. > > There is some maroonish powder under the distributor cap. That's the famous bearing rust. Listen very carefully for noises from that region. It will fail soon. > So it could > be the distributor, coil, and/or the ignitor? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > How can i test the coil? When you crank, does the tach needle jump up and down a tiny bit, or is it dead still? If it jumps, the coil is bad. If it's dead still, the igniter is bad.
