Hey ya'll I bought a 90 Accord last year from a friend. The car has been great and a great gas saver. Recently The Check engine light has been coming on and the car would not start after I just got done driving it. I have checked for codes and yes there are some things that need to be fixed. But when I go to start the car, the Check Engine Light comes on and does not go out. Therefore the car will not fire. And it will MAYBE start after sitting for 3 hours. I have tried clearing the ECU by disconnecting the Battery and that does not work. I also have tried taking out the raido/back up fuse out for ten minutes and that does not work either. I asked someone that works on Hondas and they said if your car will not fire then they think it is the ECU. is that true?

Don't keep us in the dark. What codes did you get?

 

The codes i got are as follows. Crank Position Sensor. Heated oxygen sensor. Oxygen content B. Manifold Absolute Pressure. again the Crank Case Position. Throttle Posistion sensor. And last but not least Top dead center sensor. I have called around and everyone i talked to said that none of these would not make the car start. It just would make the car very poorly.

 

CKP & TDC together migh cause a no-start condition. Maybe it can start with 2 out-of 3 timing sensors, but if 2 of em are gone I bet it can't.

Look for loose/dirty/corroded connections at the wiring harness of the distributor.
