Question I installed a used magnaflow muffler on my 94 accord 4 cyl 2.2 lx at

After putting the muffler on my accord, I had the passenger side of the car jacked up. I started the car to check for leaks and the the car stalled. According to the fuel Gage it has about a quarter of a tank of fuel in it. The car will not start, it seems like the engine is not turning over but it is trying when I turn the key. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Has nothing to do with the exhaust. Has the electrical switch on the key cylinder ever been replaced?

Check the battery and the battery connections - all ends of both cables.

Did you happen to have the radio on while you were doing the exhaust work? Sounds strange but you would be surprised how many people do this. Then after an hour or so working on the car it won't start......because the battery drained while they were fixing/replacing something else

Ok I read this post,,put the car back down on level ground,, when you had the right side up in the air the fuel moved away from the fuel pick up in the tank,,thats why it started then stalled,,cant believe no one else caught this,,bunch of rookies ,,i swear,,
