1996 Honda Accord Logo
Posted on Oct 13, 2009

Saturday the car was running fine sat. afternoon the spark plugs were changed and the second boot from the left was so stuck that it actually broke in half when trying to remove it. So finally after removing the broken ignition wire boot and replacing all of the spark plugs, and the entire ignition wire set, and being careful about puting them back in the correct order the car refuses to start. The dash lights come on and the relay clicks, but it wont even try to turn over. Any ideas on what couldve been missed?

Idles rough cylinders 13 and 5 have spark to the plug but it makes no difference when I unplug them

couple of possibilities one is that the spark plugs themselves are grounding the insufficient gap so it's not actually generating a spark other possibility is the spark plug boot or tube is our King instead of the spark plug I had two similar situation on a6 cylinder car one of them the piston ended up touching the spark plug and broke the gap another one was that the spark plug boot the long boot going into the cylinder head itself had a voltage Leak and was arching against the cylinder head good luck

Will start but wont stay running after spark plugs been changed

u shud change all the plug wires and the distributer cap-if has one--the surge probly comes from a vacuum leak or throttl area-maybe a tps or idle motor issue---get a repair manual like a haynes in zone or find a good private mechanic hoo can test drive it and du a scan on the computer system

Yes you should remove all the old fuel,it starts to breakdown and burn correctly,also it sounds like the cylinders are saturated with raw fuel,pull the spakplugs so the fuel will evaporate out,replace or clean the spark plugs and you should be good to go.

the spark from the starter is a loose wiring or short starter,but the main thing is you can crank it,check it, you have a spark at plugs if yes check if your pump is working
