I have a 1993 Honda accord that died while I was driving down the highway. I ran all of my basic diagnostics to include checking for spark, air and fuel, all are present. Subsequently I pulled the valve cover and made sure the timing belt was turning the cam, it is, and still no start. I then checked spark intensity from the coil nice bright yellow spark. I pulled all of the plugs attached the plug wire and watched them spark in sequence each with a nice yellow white spark. Pulled the distributer and tested the ign control module it tested good. I also checked the main relay it works. I am at a loss with this car please help.

 

Check the coil. Strong spark is blue, weak spark is yellow.

 

Are Alt, Oil Pressure, and Check Engine Light coming on when keyswitch is turned to ON? If not, ignition switch assy is likely fault. Easy diy job. Check youtube for many videos.

good luck

 

Thanks for the prompt response, yes all of my check lights come on when the key is in the accessory position. I have checked the OLMS across the coil pins and I checked out, but I can throw a coil at it before I do the timing belt. Once I try it out I will re-post, thank you for all of your help.

 

I have replaced the coil and again checked the spark and again it is coming out as yellow and the car still will not start. Any more advice?
