Maybe cause its a 92 with 140K miles on it!!! hahaha J/K.

Gas?

main relay, their only 25 bucks at honda. The main relays go out often on Hondas

igniter coil...?

UncleSid · 01-19-2007, 05:11 AM

when an engine is turning over but not firing....check these things first...1. is it getting fuel? 2. is there spark? 3. is there compression in each cylinder?...

Time for a K-swap....

I'd check either the main relay or the distributor cap.

My 1992 DX hatch had 360,000 miles before i had to change the engine....i love my hondas :)

Almost definitely the coil. Happened to me on my '94.

yea it might be a ignition coil. Depend on the weather, happen to my friend car. Wouldn't start if it was too hot but will start if it cold. Take the starter to a local tester.

I have a used engine you can swap out with.

might be a fuel pump problem if none of the other suggestions.

Check the main relay(inside red circle).to do this listen to a click located near hood release lever once you turn the key to accesories.if you did not hear anything then is your relay.

check the fuel pump. remove the rear bottom seat,have some one turn the key to accessories and you should hear something.(fuel pump underneath this lid)if there is no sound,then its your fuel pump.

Check for spark by using this tool found in http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/kdt2757.html( you can purchase it at your local autopart store also)if no spark then either the ignition coil or the distributor might be bad.

add to my rep if this helped you

One thing that happened to me once was the alternator went out in my camaro, it would turn over but not start.
