My 95' Accord won't start. The engine light and maintenance light came on and
the car died. When I turn the key in the ignition it sounds like it rolls
over but just won't start. I jumped the battery and it changed nothing. The
power works, lights go on, radio plays, etc.. I had new belts put in recently,
oil changed. I have no clue what to do. HELP

It cranks,but does not run?
Does the cranking sound like it always did,or different,maybe faster,like a
"whirr"?

new TIMING belt? It's a fairly expensive job.
Or just accessory belts?

see www.tegger.com;it's a GREAT resource for Honda problems/service.

Main relay could be the problem.
Or it could be an ignition problem.(igniter,coil....)

When you crank, does the tachometer needle jiggle a tiny bit? Or is it
dead-still? If it's dead-still, your igniter is dead.

Did all the other dash lights come on just before the car died, or only the
Check Engine and Maintenance ones?

I got the car to run by using battery terminal cleaner to clean the battery
up some but the engine light and maintenance light are still on so I am gonna
try to get it into a shop when affordable.

I bought an 88 Prelude that would not start. I replaced the coil and it
fixed the problem.
