RE: timing issue on accord
The blade on the distributor shaft is a bit offset from center, so it's not supposed to go in backwards. But it WILL go in backwards if you hammer it into place. It should slide nicely into place.
But even if that's backwards, the engine WILL CRANK. It will crank until the battery goes dead but won't fire up & run.
Did you let the battery go dead? Or at least low enough that your radio etc. works but not enough juice to run the starter?
