1992 Honda Accord Hates me?

[Matt60]

hey every body. i've got a 92 accord that hates me. it won't start and i've changed every thing i can think of (coil pack, plugs, wire, relays) i've searched and its a common problem for it not to start but the solutions are not solving...

ignitor?

Do you have spark?

Do you have fuel?

Does it sound like it's turning over smoothly? If not is the timing belt rotating the cam?

 

[Matt60]

yep got the fuel spark i'm breathing but. i did get it to start w/ the second coil i had in the garage and when i went to perm install it which took about 4min it wouldn't start. then i thought did i drink so much that i reinstalled the old coil? no. i've been told to change out the TW sensor, water temp sensor. i do know that the car became progressively longer to start but not by much then nothing... oh and its turns over great w/ the new batt

 

[Matt60]

well problem solved w/ a big box store distributer. i guess the spark i had wasn't spark enough. so now my question would be to set the timing more correctly other than the by sound that i've done.

 

[Gumby]

The timing marks are on the flywheel/flexplate. There's an access hole in the bellhousing toward the front on the engine. If you take out the rubber plug you'll see the pointer.

thanks i found that but wondering about resetting the computer ?

Why do you want to reset the ECU? Are you getting a CEL?
If you are, I suggest for you to change the entire distributor housing

P.S. 92 Accords don't have coilpacks, as you can see, they have distributors

Do you mean how do you set base timing?

Connect the orange/red and green/white wires of the blue service check connector with a jumper wire. The blue service check connector is located on passenger side under the dashboard.


That will keep the computer from trying to adjust the timing while you're trying to set it.
