You need to see if you have spark at your spark plugs. Any good auto parts store will have a spark tester. Use it to see if they even have spark going to them. You might have a problem with the coil igniter or something else in the system.

Hi jwb152,

Here is a link for you to test what is missing causing the non starting.

Confirm if it is fuel or ignition sparks that is causing the problem.

Requesting assistance with a crank but no start. 96 Honda Accord 2.7L V6 Symptoms; 1. Engine swap was conducted due to damage and repair costs. All connections have been checked and verified as correct. 2. When attempting to start the engine will turn over/crank but will not start. 3. Fuel pressure is at @45, spark noted at plugs, voltage is good to injectors. 4. When spraying starter fluid in intake engine will start and run as long as the fluid is being sprayed into the intake. Any suggestions?

You need to test for injector pulse using a noid light.
If you haven't scanned the car for codes yet, do that also.

You did something wrong then because if it passed all those tests it would be running so I suggest testing again.

Roger I will run all tests again and see what happens. Additionally what would the costs be to have one of the technicians from your office to check?

If it ran good the night before, you are getting spark and the timing is correct, then you must not be getting fuel to the engine. See if it will start with starting fluid.

Let me know what you find.

If it cranks check for approiate fuel pressure and good strong spark. Most likely one will be missing.

If it doesn't crank, check battery voltage, connections, fuses and starter motor.

My car was leaking oil, had a burning smell, running hot unless I drive it or rav the engine then it cools down. One day I was driving it, and no matter what I did it would'nt stop going hot, then it started smoking, then it wouldn't start at all. I was told I need a new engine. I'm not sure, can you give me a price range or refer me to a company that is reputable in selling engines and putting them in. Thanks

Sounds like you cooked it real good. Most likely you have done major damage.
There are 2 companies I use. One is ATK in California, they sell great motors with great warranties and no core charges.
The other is jasper. They are the high price spread and require rebuildable cores.
