My 1993 Legend will not start. It has driven fine up to this morning , no dash warning lights, but it will only crank and the engine will not run....I am looking to repair it myself if possible. Where should I start looking.. It is getting fuel but will not run. The car has 150,000 miles on it and the timing belt was changed recently.

thanks

 

I don't understand how you know that the engine is getting fuel?

 

I'm actually having the same problem with a c27 that i'm working on now too. I'm getting fuel (dont know if it's enough, but i've been spraying start fluid also) and the Coil is putting out sparks, but i'm not sure if i'm getting sparks to the individual spark plugs. It appears that some of the wires have been burnt, but the plugs look new. I forgot to bring my compression testor, but i think that part is ok. I swaped out the dizzy and it seems like i'm getting a very slight pop, but i can't tell. I guess my question is this

1. What is the firing order, and how are the pistons numberd.
I have it set up as 1,2,3 in the back 4,5,6 in the front reading from passanger side to drivers side. Then i just put the wires on the appropriate number on the cap.

2. What else controls the spark on the c27's?

I had my f22a4 do the same thing on me once and my computer was bad, can that be an option? how could i test that?

I'm looking right now for a solution, so if i do find one soon i'll post that..

thanks guys.

 

are you guys sure it isn't your main PGM-FI relay?

 

I fairly sure it's not that because I broke open the fuel filter and turned the key on and it started comeing out. So that means the fuel pump turned on which from my knowledge that's all the main relay controls.

 

You are 50% correct.

The main relay contains two individual relays, one of which operates the fuel pump. It is located under the left side of the dash, behind the fuse panel assembly.
The first relay is energized when the ignition is turned ON and supplies current to the ECU, the injectors, and the second relay.
The second relay supplies current to the fuel pump. It is energized for two seconds when the ignition is switched ON and continues to supply current while the engine is running. If the engine stalls, current to the fuel pump is switched OFF

 

hmm, that's good to know. Is the main relay in it's normal honda location?

 

I posted its location in the accord forum for someone.

 

i found a post on it last night. i'll hopefully check that here in a couple of hours. I hope that's the problem, I'm also going to try new wires cause those other ones the boots appear to have boiled at one point in time, but the wires feel excellent.

 

Well i went this morning to get and look at the main relay. It looks exactly like my accord one. But all the solder welds are in great shape. It almost looks new, and there was no smell of burnt nothing.

Now i'm lost.
