Buddy's Accord won't start
 

Just got a call from a friend that just bought a second hand Accord. I haven't seen the car and didn't ask him what year it was. It was a quick call. Basically, this is what happened. He got the car, was running fine then was running odd. Turns out one of the spark plugs popped out, it wasn't put in properly. So he has fixed it, was running fine. I believe the next day, tried to start it, car won't start. Checked the plugs and he say's no spark coming from them at all. He then tried to reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery to see if it need resetting. Nothing.

Any idea's?

I am going to go see him tonight after. He is out for dinner. I told him to give me a call when he is done.


Again, I may have misseds some info as this was a quick call and he asked me to see if anyone knew what the problem may be. I will know more later when I go see him and his car.


Thanks guys if any of you can provide me with some info as to what you think may be the issue.

Cap, rotor, or the dist.

Thanks. Will check them out, figured that might be the problem, but wanted to rule out anything else.

cant tell you anything without knowing what year it is.

90-97 was the same.

98-02 was the same

03-06 was the same.

the complete system was changed between those years so its hard to tell without knowing what year.

Yeah, figured as much, but thought I would put a quick post up anyways. I will be over there later and will know for sure, but I think it's a matter of the cap rotor dizzy scenario.

Just talked to him, so he can go over to CT if need be to by the stuff. It's a 91 and yeah, he thought the same thing, just wanted to rule out anything else. He will be taking it apart later to take a look.


Thanks guys.

most likey distributor those gens are NOTORIOUS for that.
