    Cranks with No Start After Clutch Replacement

    Hi all,

    I am relatively new here to the forum I made an account a while back but I have never posted anything up until now, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. I have a 1991 Accord Sedan LX that I replaced the clutch on. I started the job about 9 or 10 months ago but ran into some problems and school came around so I let it sit the whole time while I was away and only worked on it on breaks or whenever I was back home. Ran great before I let it sit. Spring break came around and I got the tranny back on to getting everything fitted up with some help. Right after going to try and turn the car on the clutch pedal didn't have any pressure so I spent a day bleeding it and eventually got pressure in it. Now I go to crank it and it just cranks but does not start. It also gives the most weirdest cranking sound. The battery was brand new 10 months ago and still has some juice because it cranks the car pretty strongly. I replaced the main relay about a year ago and my guess is that it should still be good. I had my cousin crank the car while I stuck a screw driver in the spark plug wires and got zapped from all four wires so I am assuming I have spark. I undid the gas cap and I heard all this pressure be released and I put fresh gas in. I cranked for a couple more times and still nothing so I loosed up the bolt that relieves pressure from the fuel rail and nothing happened. No gas came out and no apparent pressure was released.

    I am just wondering if something with the injectors must have gotten clogged from the time it was sitting or why is it that I am not getting any pressure. I got an injector cleaning about two years ago. I also am not hearing the 'fuel priming' after turning the key.

    Just wondering what I should do from here.
    Thank you
    -Antonio

    Do you hear the main relay click and the fuel pump prime when you put the key into the IN position?

    Edit, just caught the part about not hearing the fuel pump prime. I would swap your main relay out.

      You need fuel/spark just to name a few to make it run. Try starter fluid while someone turns engine over if it runs you know its a fuel issue. If it does NOT run while spraying in starter fluid then you know to look more into a spark problem. Just my thought.

        Hi thank you for the input I will try switching the relay as a last step because I replaced it about a year ago. Yesterday i sprayed starter fluid into the intake and took spark plugs out and sprayed in there too and still nothing happened after cranking so yes must be no spark. I also took the dstributor cap off and it was green and corroded on the points where the rotor touches and the coil looked some what rusty. I am hoping i wont have to replace the coil only cap and rotor but I will keep posting what happens.

          I would like to thank you two guys for your help.

          Spent all day trying to diagnose why there was no spark and why the fuel was not flowing. I kept looking around the engine to see if there were any loose wires or plugs that I had overlooked when putting the tranny back on the engine and I found what looked like a ground wire underneath the thermostat housing that was not connected to anything and a empty bolt hole right underneath the thermostat housing. Turns out it was the g101 ground wire that i believe grounds the ecu so I hooked that up and the car turned right up.

          The only bad thing is that the car smokes now a little from the engine bay and little blue smoke from the exhaust. Not sure if its because the car sat for almost a year with no oil in it or what but I am going to keep an eye on the oil level and hopefully its nothing bad.

            it is amazingly common for that ground wire not to get hooked up after any kind of swap work.

              I can see why. I have learned my lesson.
