95 Accord stops running... - 4/25/2008 11:02:06 AM    MrT   Posts: 3 Joined: 4/25/2008 Status: offline 95 Accord, 4dr, LX 2.2 (non-VTEC) California edition made in USA 250,000 (almost new) miles Problem: car runs like a champ but is shutting off and the check engine lite comes on. Error code 15 The problem seems to be when the car begins to warm up and can happen anywhere, on the highway, parked, going up a hill, down a hill, etc. There is no regularity to the way it occurs. When it shuts off, you can usually shut the ignition switch off and then on and quickly restart the car. But, now you have to wait longer to restart...sometimes 5-10 minutes. I replaced the fuel filter and air filter but as a result of reading these posts have discovered the problem is some sort of ignition issue. When the car shuts off i checked to see if there was any spark at the plugs and/or coil and there was NOT. Any suggestions?? MrT tom@gethomewithtom.com Post #: 1

If you have 12V, then the coil or ignitor are likely.  There is a thread in the DIY section for determining if the problem is the coil or ignitor. Also look at the Acc 5th gen... thread.  It links you to an online manual for a 5th gen accord. _____________________________ 1995 Accord EX MT (in reply to MrT) Post #: 2

From the threads on here it seemed that it was the distributor with the internal module being the problem. Relaced the distributor, $160 at Auto Zone, adjusted the timing and she runs like a champ. Running really good now....THANKS!! (in reply to PAhonda) Post #: 3
