Confirmed Fix - 1992 Accord NO START
Concern- No START , Engine Cranks but does not start,
DTCS- Did not try collecting any yet, not very farmiliar with OBD I
DIAGNOISIS - Checked Battery 12.5V, Removed Spark Plugs , plugs had oil on them did not smell any fuel on them, hooked up a spark tester on each coil and had assistant turn engine, noticed spark on each coil , removed main fuel pressure line going to fuel rail and coming off of fuel filter and turned key to ON postion and had alot of fuel flow, sprayed Starting fluid into the throttle body and tried starting vehicle unit did not start, checked ECM fuses, battery fuse , starter fuse , all fuses good, Voltage going to Starter ,
Parts Replaced- Spark Plugs, Fuel filter , MAIN RELAY,
Question- Not sure how bright the light was suppose to be flashing on my Spark Tester but i can tell you the light was kind of on the dim side for each Coil, So lets just say FUEL IS GOOD , SPARK IS GOOD, not sure about the AIR but anyone have any other suggestions ???? is there any fuses i may have missed??? please no smart allic responses

ya thats what im wondering i never really used my spark checker much so i dont really kno how bright the light should be when it is firing, if thats the case im thinking Ignition Module related ???? mabey ill go to the junk yard and grab one
Here is a video on checking engine codes:
Also, in the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum, there is a link to check codes too.
I would grab a coil as well. You need an ignitor and/or coil from an LX or DX. Or if your car is an EX, then get the coil/ignitor from an EX.

If you have a timing light, check for spark w/ timing light pickup on a spark plug lead while normally connected to plug. If timing light flashes when engine is turning, then spark is OK. If no flash, spark is inadequate to jump the spark plug gap under cylinder compression (weak spark).
If test shows weak spark, coil is likely fault (internal short reducing spark voltage).
good luck

there is identical spark coming from all 4 coils if you read my Diagnoiss report correctly the only thing is that the spark is seems very dim on them , if each spark was different on each coil or if there was no spark on one or more of the coils l ,then id be worried, plus looking at the Coils they look in good shape and look really new someone has definitly been in this car before
