    not starting...distibutor?

    So today I did some fluid checking. Oil, trans., cleaned the intake a bit. Drove down the street and the car shut off. I tried to restart it and no go. Check all the usuals. Spark plugs sparked. Loosened the nut on the fuel rail. And there was fuel. It would crank but not turn. So I sprayed some ether (aka quick starting fluid) and nothing. Pulled off the distributor cap and it was full of oil. So I'm narrowing it down to that. Does that sound about right. Is there anything else. I'm low on cash so I'm going to the junkyard to pull a distributor. With work tomorrow it has to be done fast. I just want to get more suggestions to try if the distributor isn't the problem.

    If the distributor was full of oil, then that's definitely the best place to start. If it's not the only problem, it's definitely part of it... and it and the seals definitely need to be repaired or replaced.

      Ya I was attempting to take the modulator and basic guts from my f22b distributor but when it boiled down to it I was not confidant in my low automotive skills and would hate to do more harm than good. My next thought would be injectors but that would mean all 4 fail at once which seems unlikely. I'm 98% sure that's my issue any other thought on where to check

        Crank it, pull a spark plug, and smell for fuel. If you smell fuel, the injector works.

        All 4 injectors are unlikely to fail at once... but the injector resistor box can fail. I've only seen it happen once on here, but at 20 years old, anything can fail!

            So hows this sound deev. Bought new distributor with cap and rotor fuel pump fuel filter. Installed everything.. no spark and no fuel before installation. And after. ,no spark and no fuel. It really feels like that was the last time she will see the roadfor a while. I am now suspecting ecu. I don't what what else to do

              check your main relay

                Under the steering column. Correct? And does that control fuel and spark?

                  changed the main relay and nothing still no spark no fuel. i looked at the ecu and it is blinking a red light. idk what that means should i change the ecu

                    If the ecu is blinking a red light at you, is your check engine light on? It sounds like you should jump the service connector with a paper clip and check for codes.

                    Oh and if you sprayed ether/starting fluid into the intake, and it did nothing, it is most likely an ignition related issue. Check the coil, and igniter first... but only after you fix the oil leak into the distributer.

                      ya i found out that the tcu was blinking. i have had the sport light blink for a while i now have replaced distributor fuel pump main relay and used a another ecu thinking that the ecu was fried and not allowing the systems to work. and nothing i have NO SPARK AND NO FUEL. i was told to check the ignition switch but would a bad switch cause the fuel and sparking to work or is it not turning power to the ecu.

                          i would think that the ignition switch could cause this(not positive though) because if the car thinks its not trying to start why would it push gas or spark.. find a way to test it, also check relay's/fuse's(you just never know)

                            Ya I wasn't sure about ignition switch. I checked all fuses and relays. I have it in a shop right now.

                              what about the timing? pull the cap off the block and check if its aligned, i had a car that had this same problem except it would wait till i turned it off, then be B**** to turn back on, and i found out it was the distributor i guess this year accord had a recall on the distributor, so it could be just spark, does it crank at all? battery posts on tight?
