Did you perhaps buy a car with a broken timing belt ? Is the distributor rotor actually turning when you crank the engine. If not, the belt is broken.

Why would you buy a car that won't start ???

If the cam snapped the belts can be perfectly lined up and the dizzy obviously wont turn

Huh ???

Take off your distributer cap, and look to see how the rotor under the cap is oreintated, maybe make some marks with a marker, put the cap back on, crank the car, take the cap back off, and look to see if the rotor has moved, or changed orientation.

Otherwise you can take off the timing belt cover and see if your the belt is snapped.

ok i changed the main relay nothing i checked for fuel is gettin fuel and spark its getting spark wat else can be the cause

well you need 3 things for fire. fuel spark and air. if you are getting fuel and spark and you are SURE you are getting them then it must be a problem with air.

you might not have adequate fuel pressure. you might want to "rent" a fuel pressure test kit from autozone to make sure you are getting enough fuel. idk if this will help or not just a suggestion.

whoever said check the ignition coil in the steering column i think you mean the ignition switch. since the ignition coil is inside the distributor.

you dont need a fuel pressure tester, loosen the nut comin out of your fuel filter, dont remove just loosen, then turn the key on, your fuel pump SHOULD run for 3 sec, and it should spray gas everywhere with that nut loose. if it does spray gas then u got pressure. recomended fuel preasure is 35-41 psi ive fired my car up with as little as 12 psi.

i have a 90 dx with internal coil and a 93 lx with external both r f22a1.

What year and submodel does the title say?

[AaronRVegas]

the 90-91 came with internal coil

the 92-93 came with external coil

like deev said if its not getting spark check the ignition coil and the igniter, both inside the distributor. when my car was not getting spark it was the igniter. it was $50 for a new part at autozone.

92 ex

[jofat91]

my car has an external coil so i should change the coil if it not the coil take out the distributor and put a new ignitor???

[jofat91]

i tried testing if the coil had spark and it didnt

[jofat91]

any info would be a plus

can i use the coil of an h23 ?

[904drACCORDMANG]

Is there power goin into the coil? If you dont have a volt meter I would visually inspect the igniter, theres usually some physicall evidence, thats if your strapped for cash in a perfect world you would replace coil, cap, rotor, and igniter for the sake of reliability
