engine crancks but won't start
 
I have a 2000 Honda accord v6 with a v-tech engine that won't start. I checked the fuel pump to see if it was working and it is . I also check the ignition fuse and that's ok also. I try to see if the car would have and ignition module but it doesn't, can someone give some ideas on what it might be so that I could check.

Well first you need to pop the hood, which I'm guessing you have yet to do since you misspelled VTEC. Next check the fuel pump fuse (and all other fuses and relays in the underhood box). I had the exact same thing happen to me last summer and after 5 minutes of troubleshooting I found that was blown. No idea how it happened.

you can also check if u have spark and if u dont then maybe u have a loose ground ... just look around and make sure everythings tight

engine crancks but don't start
 
I checked all fuses for the ignition or fuel pump and they all good. I change the spark plugs because they were worn out but still nothing. Fuel pump works since I disconnected one of the lines while the wife turn the ignition key on and there was plenty of fuel coming out. What else can I try? I also disconnected a wire to the spark plug to see if there was electricity going through when the key is on and it is.

Check your timing.

Uh so you have spark and you have fuel into the engine :confused: What am I missing, or is this as weird as it sounds?

A guy from Autozone gave me an idea to spray some starting fluid on the air intel area and it started but shots off of course so it seems that no gas is reaching the combustion chamber probably the injectors are plug but its add for all of them to be like that, any other sugestions. By the way I also checked the timing belt and its fine.

You need to buy a Helms and troubleshoot this or take it to the dealer man. Is the fuel pump turning on when you turn the key to the II position?

yes, I disconnected a fuel hose to check that and it is, as soon as I turn the ignition switch on a flow of gas comes out.

The problem must be in the delivery of the fuel into the cylinders then. PGM-FI main relay perhaps?
