Honda Newbie need firing help

[Hon-rrari]

Hi, im new to the Honda nation, i found a good deal on a 91 honda accord dx, 57k miles, and the owner wants only $500.00 for it, only problem is that it doesnt want to start, fire, he said it runs like new,what could be wrong with it?

a motor needs 4 things to run: air, fuel, compression and spark. check for all of those, then rule out by process of elimination. later.

forgot to add, the owner left the window open on the driver side, there was about 2 inches of water on the floor board so do you think it could of messed with the fuses in the fuse box

Not really. But if it was also on the passenger side coulded fucked the ECU but drivers side shouldnt be bad. But follow what typeg said he basically got it covered.

man it could be a lot of things... dead battery, bad starter,...but besides that is it a stick or auto...hopefully a stick...however the vechicle does not work let alone start...even though its low miles...you can get the price lower...come on' man its honda buyin 101...if it dont work then u can get the askin price as low as u want it...i would offer the guy $200 sense it dont run at all...once this low miles car is bought for dirt cheap then worry about fixing it... its probably some'em stupid thats wrong wit it...peace
