1990 honda accord wont start?

First the straight-ahead answer to your situation, the a comment.

Take yourself to your local library, look in the reference section for the appropriate repair manual. Read the troubleshooting chapter for your symptoms. Trying to do it yourself is good, but sometimes you have to know when to punt; two months of not driving is enough for me to try a professional.

You know you need four things to start a car- air, fuel, spark (at the right time) and compression. If your car was running without issues, compression is probably OK. Spark at the right time is tough to identify, but you can try a static ignition setting, then tweak the distributor until the timing light tells you it's where it should be. Fuel is easy enough to test- squirt a bit of starting fuel ($3.99 at any car parts store) into the air intake and crank. Air is even easier- take the air filter out and start the motor. If it runs, you've found your culprit.

Now for my comment and suggestion: A question mark at the end of a declarative sentence does not render the declaration a question; if you have a keyboard, don't use "u" for "you." Secondly, you might want to be sure you need a part before you start swapping out components. ... Good luck!!

1990 Honda Accord Wont Start

Ive noticed you havent said anything about the alternator it could b goin out but yes check connectors, grounds, and also fuses and also check each spark plug make sure they arent swimming in oil that can cause ur car to shut off if thats the case replace valve gasket o ther than check fuel lines for any signs of damaged or pinched spots also check where the fuel pump is located and do a test by having another body in drivers seat to CYCLE THE KEY DO NOT TURN ON VEHICLE OR CRANK JUST CYCLE IT and before the other body does so loosen the line closest to the gas tank and see if gas is going through when u cycle then reconnect the line if gas is goin through freely (WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN DOING SO NO GAS GETS IN EYES AND SOMETHING TO COVER NOSE AND MOUTH) go to the hood lift up find gas line do the same process over again now this is a at home test be sure to examine if the gas is moving freely or if not you have pinch somewhere and always have a back up wrench to disconnect the lines (if needed)

1990 honda accord wont start?

I have a 1990 honda accord it wont start i have replaced the starter the fuel pump the distributor and spark plugs it started up for me but i had the gas all the way down and it sounded really funny and after about 45 seconds it cut back off and wont start back up also i replaced the clutch and...

The fuel pump is inside the gas tank. but there are other things that will keep it from starting you don't want to remove the gas tank if that's not the problem. There is a relay called the (main relay or the main fuel relay) under the dash on the driver side this controls the fuel pump and it more common for this to fail than a fuel pump on a Honda.

You haven't mentioned if you have spark. You haven't mentioned if tried some starting fluid.

Check all of your electrical connections once again for any loose wires that may have been

damaged when you removed any connectors etc..

Make sure you have a good ground wire from the engine to to negative battery terminal.

Check all of you fuses as well. Removing and replacing the battery cables could have caused

a fuse to blow.

Just a few suggestions here.

it piss me off when customer come back to the shop and say my car wasnt acting likee that before , well iam trying to explain, its liek u take an old guy for heart surgery tehn he die then who's fault is it ??? or woudl u rather take a young guy for a heart surgery and expecting him that he will 80% he will survive . or just its liek opening a can of warms on both side . or if u just sit int he room and figure out like who was born first the egg or the chicekn well the car is old so expect more problems from problems thats how i do it in my shop and tell teh customer first .

first put this in mind u always expect more from a leader....... so good mechanic do goods works.......

ok those cars are comment on cooling temp sensor. disconet both coolant temp sensor and see if teh car would stay running. and then send me my paycheck ... good luck

ur hearing this froma reall mechanic that work on cars everyday . not just from someone that just know basic and trying to guess the problem and hopping it work to test his skill. i know sometimes i tell my customer idk what the problem with ur car if iam not 120% sure the u have to keep in mind that sometimes the enginer that design this car they can tell u they dont know the problems too . and oh yea dont forget my rating... good luck

here is how u check the temp sensor anyway ... well when u go there first in teh morning turn the key on and see what the gauge say for the temp it it read quarter or half or too hot then there is ur problem. its suppose to be on teh C when the engine is cold ., this would make teh car shut off because when the engine tem rise to normal and teh gauge is telling the pcm its too hot it will act as a safety procedure to shut off the car .just unplug it but u will be burning more gas . good luck

u need to chek...the most common problems with them accords is the main power relay...it causes no power to the fuel pump and no fuel...u need to get a wireing diagram and check and see if the fuel pump is getting power when u first turn the switch on...if its not replace the main relay...there very very common

first you have to have fuel and spark ! check to see if there is a good spark at the plugs ! no spark, then it could be the coil or the module. then make sure the gas is reaching the engine ! no fuel or not enough gas reaching the engine, then it could be the fuel filter. but like any car you have to have good spark and good fuel pressure.

did you pinch off one of the gas line when you put the fuel pimp in
