I have a 1992 accord and it dont want to start. I installed a new head with a new head gasket because the other head was cracked. I bolted it on right im %100 sure, i called autozone and they said to torque it from 29/52/78 and thats exactly how i did it, after i installed everything (including new oil) i turned on the car and it turned on , i left it on for about a minute and then turned it back off , left off for a bit and i tried turning it back on and it did , i gave it gas twice and it turned off on me , tried turning it back on and now its getting no spark ? i checked all the pipes and they're all connected right , im in need of help please ?

 

Around the t-stat housing, there is a ground wire...make sure it is clean and tight.

 

alright thank you , do u think that can be the problem or what else could it be if you dont mind me asking ?

 

first off,, make sure that the timing belt is ok,,,,,,,,next test for a possible bad igniter and or coil ..........
I am assuming that the engine cranks and turns over correct ??

this might help

yes it does crank but just no spark so no start

 

You need to perform some checks. If no spark, are you getting 12V to the Blk/Yel wire at the distributor and is the important ground secure that Poorman mentions?

No voltage at distributor would suggest intermittent keyswitch assy.

Do the checks and post your results.

good luck

 

If that ground is missing or has gotten loose....you loose the ground to the ECU which can will cause a no spark situation....since you just replaced the head....IMO, a good place to start.

 

alright im going to look at the ground of the thermostat and i'll let you guys know what occurs .

 

i just realized that my mechanic never screwed back on the thing that supports the motor , its just hanging by my oil filter , could that be a problem ?

 

Unconnected motor mount can cause problems, but would not cause a no-start.

good luck
