Very Common Happen to Me

Check the igniter , the way accords work the igniter gets a signal from the starter then bounces a signal BACK to the coil and then you have spark its kinda strange and im not good at wording it but it goes like this

Turn Key ---> Starter Spins ----> spark goes right through the coil bypassing it tells the igniter to send a spark back to the coil and fires the coil , i dont know why its done this way but most times if the main relay is good and the coild is good then it is the igniter ,,, Hope This Helps ,,, Look up my threads , one of my First threads ever was a HELP cry cause my car was about to be towed and i didnt know what the hell was wrong with it man , seemed like a fuel problem but really ended up being the igniter , also this may help alot and its cheaper than buying a whole Distributor man .

ya. my two cents is dizzy.

edit:
I just rememberd that that happend to me a long time ago, and it was my vavle...damn I can't remeber the name, but it's on the IM, just between the IM and the head. It's black...errr...someone help me out. Mine got stuck CLOSED and so it choked the engine. Did your revs go crazy b4 it cut out? Mine did. Clead the vavle and opened it...and all was returned to normal.

got my car towed to class today and tested all the ignition and it was fine...there was no fuel pressure so i checked the relay and it was fine...it turned out to the fuel pump!! well...that's what my teach says...but wont know until tomorow when i drop the fuel tank down...
