i have 92 honda accord it wont start its not firing the check engine light and oil light comes on .?

Question

any suggestions?

Answer 1

On that model it is almost always the main relay that causes the no start condition when the engine cranks but does not fire. The main relay is located up under the left side of the dash panel to the left of the steering wheel. It controls the spark and fuel pump and when it fails neither will work.

you should have someone test for spark. If you don't have any you'll probably find the main relay bad. You will have to replace the relay.

If the car has been sitting in the sun all day, try leaving the doors open for about 15 minutes and then trying to start the car. Sometimes cooling the interior of the car off will allow the contacts in the relay to rejoin so that you can start the car.

Also, when you start to crank the car, hold the accelerator on the floor as your turning the engine over. if its not the main relay there is a chance the engine is flooded and holding the gas pedal down puts the computer into a "clear flood" mode.

don't crank the engine for more than 10 seconds and give it at least 3 minutes between starting attempts or you'll burn up the starter.

hope that helps

Time to send that old car to the junk yard.

Answer 3

stomp on the break 3 times and on the third time start it at the same time.
