1992 Accord won't start

[quote:d22da976be="Cooljazz"]1992 Accord, 137,000 mi, 5 spd, fuel injection. Car died on road. Started for about 15 sec. the next morning, but then nothing. The starter cranks, but the car does not start. When I put switch to the on position, the Check engine light goes on for about 2 sec. then turns off. Oil pressure and battery charge light stay on. I feel the main relay click once and again about 2 seconds later and I can hear the fuel pump for about 2 seconds too. I have jumped the service connector and got diagnostic code 15 on the CEL light, but have since reset the ECU by pulling the Backup fuse for 10 seconds. Now when I jump the connector the CEL light stays on, but there is no code being blinked. I have checked all the fuse boxes, the main relay, the MAP sensor, the EGV sensor, the throttle angle sensor, Autozone checked the coil, and it was OK. Help please![/quote:d22da976be]

Hello !!

Check for spark on the plugs and let us know if any..

the 90`s hondas has some issues with 3 things: main relays, distributors and ignition switches..

let us know on the spark to continue!

I checked for a spark at each plug and can't see any light using the spark plug tester (not that great of a tester though).
Thank you for responding and here's hoping we can figure this out:)

I should also note that I have done the tests recommended on the main relay, and it checks out OK. I also ran the tests on the ignition switch and it also checked out OK.

Hello !!

Well time to check the igniter and pick-up coil..

Connect a tester light on negative side and the other end on the positive of the coil then crank the engine and see if you get "pulses" (on-off-on-off)

The light tester should "blink" on-off-on-off-on-off that shoud tell us that the igniter and pick-up coil are sending the "signal" to the coil to make a "spark" if that is happening ... check the coil high side for spark with a cable close to "ground" (do it with care)...

if the pulses are good but no spark is present then the ignition coil is defective..


let me know to continue..
