1998 Honda accord v6, will not start, but will turn over. Gave check engine light, drove home and parked it, and motor would not start back. Checked code manualy, #62 was the only one in display, my book did not show a #62 manual code, had a #63 but I rechecked and again.

Further I checked at distributor to see if engine was getting fire and it was not with a spark light.

Does this help to eliminate the odvious and get me to the problem.

Thanks,

Chip Townsend

Did you test for sparks at the plugs?
Did you try using starting fluids into the throttle body?

Yest I tried two plugs they had not spark.

Don't think fluid in throttle body will help anything without fire.

Check the Ignition Control Module and ignition coil.
Ensure ther is battery voltage at the ignition coil with ignition on and while cranking.
