Ok my girl has a 91 honda accord ex. it hasn't been started in 2 years. i changed the oil, ignition coil, spark plugs, wires, distributor rotor. it gets spark (pull them out turned it over, got spark). well i tried to start it. no luck. i spayed starting fluid, flames came out of the throttle body (think i spayed to much). so any opinions.

 

did you check the battery? or junk it.

 

Did it fire up with the starting fluid, or just shoot flames out? lol


Do you have fuel pressure?

 

just shot flames. and battery is dead. i been jumping it. i think the flames came out because the guy was starting it kept hittin the gas pedal (told him not to do that because i thought he was going to flood the engine) so when he didn;t press the gas and we sprayed it, it would make a poping sound and white smoke would out of the TB.

 

when i usually spray **** into the engine through the throttle body, I usually floor the car until it starts, i have found out it works better than laying off the gas all together, **** i had to to it today at work with some starter fluid myself.

but check the basics.
Spark, Injector pulse, Fuel etc

 

well when i spray it i floor it so it can get inside then when turning it over i depress it

 

Is the fuel pump good?

 

injectors could be plugged or stuck closed with shellac from the gas that was left in them.

 

clogged fuel filter?

try spraying a lot of carb cleaner down the tb also

 

re-check timing

 

is there any way to see if they are getting gas into the cylinder? im use to workin on diesels.. lol sorry if i sound like an idiot

 

meh, the best way is to get an injector pulse diode light and pug it into the injectors connector.

 

Does it stumble and then die, or does it just do nothing? Does it even start with the starter fluid sprayed in the TB?

 

no.. nothing.. im going to go over today and try other stuff.. o and i put new gas in it.. im going to triple check the wire since i have the acutual honda drawling to make the the wires are in the right place on the cap.

 

take it to someone who knows what they are doing (friend or mechanic), its hard to help you without actually seeing and working on the car....
