Okay need some help I have a 90 accord that was running then i parked it in my backyard for about three weeks and then went to start it and now it won't start? Tries to start but won't, fully charged battery, getting fuel and spark on the plugs. Any ideas? Wondering if the Main Relay would be bad? Heard that sometimes that would cause a car to not start?

 

Had a 90 accord do that a couple weeks ago, also after sitting a couple weeks. It would turn over but didn't start. I cleaned the battery terminals and ended up jumping it anyways. I had to actually give it some gas to keep it running when it finally did fire...not sure what the actual problem was, but it's been running fine since.

 

well, to check the main relay...take the key out and put it back in and turn to II, listen and watch the CEL. when it turns off and you hear a *click*, then it is funtioning properly.

so when you are turning it, will it try and catch?

 

naw just tries but nothing. question if the distributor is bad will it put out spark at all?

 

hmm, ignition coil or ignitor?

i put my old dizzy in hope to start my car but didnt work (my new aftermarket one was having problems, damn aftermarket) and my ignitor was new...so it could be one thing: the igntion coil because my cap and rotor was also new.

 

brushes in the starter need to be cleaned
