Help!!! I spent some time under the hood of my 96 Accord Coupe yesterday diagnosing an overheat prob. All I did was unplug my cooling fan and jump it to the battery to make sure it worked (it did). Today it turns over but won't start. This is the first time it's ever done this. I NEED it to start in the am to take it to the garage. What did I do? What am I missing?

 

Need to see if it is a lack of fuel or spark.....Turn the key to on and listen for the fuel pump to prime (you'll need to turn off the blower, radio, close the door and anything that makes noise) for a few seconds (cel should come on and go off as the pump primes). Or you can intriduce a fuel source, carb cleaner into tb-open butteryfly. Not a true test for fuel but an easy start.

Then you'll need to check for spark, do you have a timing light?
