1990 Accord Ex Questions

[90JDMACCORDEX]

Ok I Have A 90 Accord Ex With The F22a4 Engine. I Just Got Done Installing A New Top End On My Car. I Got It Back Together And Started It Up. It Ran Fine Then The Other Day I Decided To Take It Out For A Drive And I Was Doing 40 And All Of A Sudden The Car Shut Off. I Have All Power But The Car Wont Run. It Acts Like It Wants To But It Wont. What Could This Be?



Ive Been Told By A Couple Mechanics It Could Be The Ignition Switch Wire Harness In The Steering Column. Please Help Me Out

give us some more details and we should be able to help you. From what you wrote it could be the main relay or distributor.

maybe your timing chain broke.

my car died recently too. it would crank but not start. i had to buy a new distributor.

[Accrdwgnguy]

Check for spark, It could be your igniter or the distributor

[90JDMACCORDEX]

i have spark and i have fuel up at the injectors so what else could it be

[90JDMACCORDEX]

help me

anybody else on here have any ideas of what could be wrong with my cb7? it will crank but wont start. it acts like it wants to start but wont. i have spark and i have fuel going to the injectors.

[JunyAccord]

did you check the timing chain? same happened to me. Took it to a mechanic to get it fixed.

[F20A CB7]

maybe your timing chain broke.

we havin timing chains

u mean belt

[JunyAccord]

lol yup. Im so used to hearing it from my dad.

I feel you're pain it totally sucks ass.But it sound like the main relay bruned out it is under the driver side dash behind the crusie control box .....I think. check that and that may solve you're problem. Same thing happen to me a year ago. if you can get one from the yard do it. or you can buy one from honda it is about $64.

[90JDMACCORDEX]

ok well i know its not the timing belt because i just replaced it and the car was running perfect when it shut off on me. so you are saying it is prolly the main relay?

[J3wman]

My car did that kinda and it was my distributor

[Professor]

if its your dizzy. chances are its throwing a code when it turns off. check to see if you get a code. even when you try to turn it on but it wont start, there should be a code. if its your ignition switch theres really no way of truly telling (from my experience) until you take it out and actually see it.

[90JDMACCORDEX]

if its the distributor wouldnt i get no spark? because im getting spark and im getting fuel to the injectors, the car acts like it wants to start but it wont. what about the plug wires? could that be my problem ? or what about the ignition coil in the distributor
