the only code mine was droppin was 4L and 1s. looks like it is 41 which was Primary oxygen sensor heater. would this have that effect after awhile?

 

A code 41 shouldn't cause a starting problem.

The timing light is pretty simple to use to verify spark. Just connect the light to the battery. Then hook up the induction pickup on the spark plug wire. The light should flash if you are getting enough spark.

If you have a working vehicle, you can try the timing light on there to get a feel of how it works.

 

ok cool. ill try the timing light out tuesday when i get off work. i have another 94 Accord that is running.. thanks for the help. ill update then.

 

In spite of the instructions for the timing light ("connect to the #1 plug wire)... Connect the pickup to all 4 plug wires one at a time. You're checking whether each plug has a good-enough spark.

When you actually use the light to time your engine, you'll use only the #1 wire.

 

Time for the update. Turns out it was a fuel issue. Fuel isn't supposed to be crystal clear I don't think. Lol. Put new fuel in it. Runs like a champ. Haha. Thought too much into that one I guess.

 

Yea, the easy stuff sometimes fools us.

 

Yeah got her running, then died again. looked through the firing system, yeah the rotor button was burnt up. Got it swapped and running again. God too.
