90 cb7 no fuel or spark

[jtkustomizer]

Hello everybody my name is josh this is my first post and would like some help with my accord.

This spring i was getting on the highway and lost all power. after getting home i tore it apart to find a broken timing belt. I went ahead and pulled the head to check valves and they were fine. I have since then put it all back together and cannot get fuel to the rail or no spark. I got frustrated and took it to the shop to fix...ended up being told it was the EFI relay and it was going to be like 380 to be replaced. So i went and picked up the relay from local dealer and insalled it myself last night the easy way by unplugging the old and leaving it and plugging in the new one in. But i still dont have Fuel coming up to the rail. Is there anything else i should check? This car has been in my garage for the summer and i would like to drive it again soon.

welcome!

youre not getting fuel, are you getting any spark while youre cranking?

theres a single ground wire bolted down by a 10mm bolt on the lower side of the thermostat housing. leaving this disconnected will kill power to the main components. most people forget this one.

That ground might just be the culprit. I will be making a list of things to check when i get back home.

I didnt check for spark last night so i dont know if it is there or not

Thanks for the ultra fast replys


I have been searching this site for a while now and it has helped me tremendously...expetialy the search button. That thing is magic if you know how to use it.

Thank you Mike


The ground was forgotten on my part but after i got the ground on i figured out that I also had the distributer off by 180degrees so after switching the plug wires around on 2-3 and 1-4 it started right up.


But when turning the key on i am hearing a clicking noise coming from under the battery What could this be?


Also before it broke the spedometer would randomly cut out while driving down the highway?????

also check the ecu fuse at the central junction box under the hood make sur it's not loose in it's place. we ran into that problem a few times.

check negative battery ground that is bolted on the fender.

i had that problem wen i went to change my thermostate last year i for got to put the ground back on and it drove me crazy. that ground is the ecu ground so make sure its on . good luck

Well I was up early this morning and decided to mess around with the accord again.

First I unplugged the new relay and then plugged in the old relay(since it wasnt removed) and then tried to start and it did suprisingly

Then I pulled the batery, starter and the leads to the battery.


I will be going to the welding shop and getting new leads for my battery +&-.


Hopefully I can be up and running this weekend

I just replaced my thermostat housing last week and forgot about that ground, i went crazy for hours trying to figure it out. My dad got home heard me trying to crank it and walked up to the car and said "the ground is connected on the thermostat housing" and turned back into the house. Funny stuff

it sounds like the fuel pump.. do you hear the whinning noise when you turn the car to the on position. i hope its not the fuel pump because that crap is hard to replace lol. it took me 3 days because you have to drain the fuel from the tank and unplug alot of stuff then pry the tank down to unbolt the pump from the tank and then pull it out lol.. on top of that the pump is like 150 bucks.. kick rocks, i hope you get it running.. when you do i wanna see updates lol

Its running again and I drove it to work this morning.

The exhaust is leaking at the middle section but that will be a quick fix with new gaskets.

The timing is off a little bit but it drives again
