    Read sections A and B in the link below:

    These sections will be applicable to your 1994 Accord EX.

    Most likely, you need to go over the entire ignition system and replace the Ignition Control Module (igniter), coil, rotor, distributor cap, and spark plugs (NGK only). Because of the age of your car, the symptoms could also be caused by a failing Main Relay. I normally recommend all of these components be replaced every 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Igniters, coils, and main relays are problematic items on Hondas.

    Lower Ball Joint Removal and Replacement

    1. Remove boot, by prying off the set ring.

    2. Remove circlip (Hi-Tech Tool 75 or KD Tool 3152). Cheap circlip pliers will not work.

    3. Clamp knuckle in a large machinist's vise. Tighten vise around one of the disc brake caliper bracket mounts.

    4. Beat the knuckle going around the ball joint with a 24 oz. ball pein hammer several times. This helps to break the ball joint loose from its mount.

    5. Beat the lower ball joint out of the knuckle, using a 3-lb. hand drilling hammer (Craftsman 38311) and a 2-inch cube of brass or steel. Place the block against the lip of the ball joint. Strike the block as you move it around the periphery of the ball joint. An alternative is to use an air hammer with a 1-inch hammer tip (Grey Pneumatic CH117). Beating away on the stud does almost nothing, except cause the stud to mushroom.

    6. Coat sides of new ball joint with synthetic grease and then place in the freezer for and hour or two, to ease installation. I prefer top quality Moog ball joints, which come with a lifetime warranty.

    7. Press the ball joint into place, using a deep socket and large C-clamp. I prefer to use an air hammer with a 1-inch hammer tip.

    8. Reinstall the circlip.

    Lower ball joint failure is very dangerous, where the wheel and axle can be ripped off FWD cars.
