    92 honda accord no spark
    I just bought a 92 honda accord and the guy said he was driving it and it died and when you try to start it no spark and the check engine light stays on I replaced coil and ignighter I thought it might be the main relay but don't know for sure if you can help let me know thank u

    Perform the K-Test on the ECM. Sounds like the ECM is bad.

    The K-Test: Remove the MAP Sensor connector and turn the ignition switch to ON (not start). Using a multimeter, check for 5 volts going between the MAP Sensor connector's reference wire (+) and ground. As you look at the connector, this is the socket on the right. Really press the black test lead into a cleaned main ECM ground on the thermostat housing. If the voltage is low, it's probably indicating ECM failure. Most failed ECMs will record a fraction of a volt. To me, the K-Test is simple, elegant, and accurate.

    . Since you replaced the ECM, does the Check Engine Light now come on and go off normally, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II)?

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    If everything above checks out okay, and since you have replaced the ignitor, coil, and main relay, I'm left to suspect a problem with the distributor housing itself. One or more internal sensors (CKP, CYL, or TDC) may be damaged, which are unserviceable. Only use a genuine Honda distributor housing, since we have had many problems with even new aftermarket distributors on Hondas.
