Hi everyone,

I've got a '93 Prelude 2.2VTEC.
Had it since July '99, and love it to bits.
Never thought I would say that after riding motorbikes for years.

Had a few things go over the years, but nothing too serious (exhaust, radiator, battery), but last Friday morning it just refused to start. Up till then no problems.
The engine was spinning over so it isn't the battery.
I have earthed a plug to the engine casing, and no spark is there at all.

Can anybody out there please help me.
What things can I check before I go to a garage /dealers / auto electrician?
How do I go about it, as I am not a mechanic and as you are probably aware, it is packed under the bonnet.

Yours hopefully,
Grant

 

This could have lead up to many various probles such as fuel not getting up to the fuel rails or defective fuel pump or fuel pump relay or even a broken or stripped timeing belt.

I hope by now you have found out what it was..

Well, I joined the RAC, and got their opinion.
The prognosis was a knackered ignitor in the distributor, or so they thought.

They towed me to the nearest Honda dealers, and I got them to run diagnostics on it.
As expected, the ignitor was gone.

So, I am back on the road, £201 lighter in the back pocket, but loving life again.

Cheers
