Not a lot to go on, but the major suspects for "no spark" are few. Read over the whole "Starting/Running problems" section at http://tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#startrun for a good run-down. I favor the ignitor having failed (because it happened to my daughter's '93 Accord), but I wouldn't rule out the coil.

Easy to check by looking into the oil filler hole and spin the engine.

Does TeGGeR's test of watching the tach show the tach jumping or just lying there? Also, see where this leads you: http://tegger.com/hondafaq/startproblems.html Mike Did you get it fixed. I just saw this question. I had the same problem. It is a simple fix but if it is working no need to go into it. Joe > the timing belt is good, any more ideas. i need some type of > trouble shooting procedures. i did temporarly get it fixed. i bought another distridutor from ebay and put it in and the car started right up. i drove it about 3 miles and it ran great! pulled in the driveway, reached for the key to shut it off, before i even touched the key it died and would not restart. i check for spark....no spark again! please let me know what you did for your car!!

You might try changing out the spark plugs. It worked for me when my 84 Accord overheated. mcgyversteve <none@000.com> wrote in news:953828_ 3cd908ba7ffbb8642a86d32e7cb7d238@autoboardz.com: > please help!! i have a 1993 honda accord. i bought it off a ladie who > started it went in the house and forgot she left the car running, when > she returned it had stopped and it has not started again since. it did > not run out off gas.i pulled a plug and did a spark test and it does > not have any spark. it cranks over OK put will not fire. what do you > think? When you crank, does the tach needle jiggle a teeny tiny bit? If NOT, the igniter is shot. If YES, the coil is bad. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
