Have a 94 accord sedan ex nd its giving me problem when starting it wont turn over just sputters nd turns off replaced starter nd battery it will work after about 3-4 trys while steppin on the gas for it to start any suggestion to what the problem is. I dont know much about cars

 

Welcome to the HAF..

 

Terms can be confusing.


If you turn the key to start - does the starter spin the engine over but it won't "start and run" on its own?

Or, you turn the key to start and nothing happens - stater does not spin the motor?

We are willing to help, just need to understand the issue.

Also - does the CEL light come on when the car is running? And, are the tune up items (cap, rotor, plugs, check wires) up to date?

 

Yes the starter runs and spins but it wont start on its own i have to step on the gas while turning the key to get it to start nd. Im not sure bout that i dont know much about the maitnence schedule of the car just the oil changes
Nd etc.

 

nd yes the cel is on came in when i changed the starter bout a yr ago think i need all of that tho spark plugs and all

 

If you are unsure of the last tune up then I would plan on that - they wear out.

Get the code - at the top of this section there is a sticky - "Common DIY and Info Threads". In there you will see how to get the codes on you OBD-I car.

Once you have the code(s) let us know what it is.

 

Not to sound like a total moron but how do i get those obd1 codes will i have to get a diagnostics scan or whatever its. Called. ? Sorry on the late reply

 

There is a service connetor under/behind the glove box....a blue two pin connector. Jump it with a piece of wire or paperclip and turn the key to on and start counting the flashes from the CEL - D4 - ABS.

 

I see a blue nd orange one so thats the blue one u were talking bout ? Nd its a 3 hole nd 2 hole when just to make sure thats the right connector just exactly how Do i jump it sorry im clueless when it comes to cars.

 

Sorry but your post is a bit confusing.

For the connector there are several pic's floating around: 94 accord service connector - Google Search
