How to fix the problem with electric on Honda accord?

Your check engine light in your 92 Honda accord won't go off and your car won't start. How do you fix that problem?

  • Answer:

    The ignition switch ECU Fuses or The main relay ____ This is a can of worms! Thankfully I just opened it myself after swapping the engine in my 93! Firstly, check the main grounding cables in the engine bay. The most prone to failure is the one that goes to the thermostat housing, but check the others too. Next check all your fuses and relays, information on this is available at almost every Honda forum - the Main Relay is a common failure. http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginetroubleshootin1/a/hon_mnrelay_tst.htm http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginetroubleshootin1/a/honda_hot_start.htm If the engine is turning over but not sparking you may have a problem with your fuel delivery or distributor cap - in my case I simply swapped the cap and rotor arm with a known working one - it didn't solve my problem :| I then took the fuel delivery hose from the rail, popped it into a clear food bag and had a friend crank the engine - no fuel... He cranked it 8 times and no fuel... Suddenly though there is no more check engine light... back to the ground cable tests.... All were fine, but to make sure I removed them all, added a little solvent to each point, put some copper grease on the terminals and bolted them back in. Turned the key and the fuel pump audibly worked... one more click and vroohoom.... my lovely Honda roared the roar of the angry.
