I recently bought a '92 Accord EX that started and ran great until a couple days ago. I got out of work and attempted to start the car. It turns over fine but won't start. I sprayed starting fluid into the air intake to rule out a fuel issue and it made no difference. I then checked for spark. No spark getting to the plugs. I checked the coil wire, no spark from the coil. Now I don't know if the lack of spark is due to the coil, the ECU or the PGM-FI Main Relay . I did not check for the timing belt and will do that when I get back to the car. I will also listen for the fuel pump noise. I read FAQ but it did not help me to know where the ECU is. I need this problem fixed ASAP without buying parts that are not the problem. Please help.

Check the main relay it is under the dash to the left of the fuses it is a little gray box. I have only had problems with a main relay on hot days. And if you had a change of idle speed it would idle high and low continuously
