    96' Honda Accord almost starts
    I have a 1996 Honda Accord with the four cylinder motor. It is an automatic with air conditioning. My problem is this: when I attempt to start the car it cranks perfectly and hits well enough for me to let off the ignition because it seems to have started. But it doesn't keep running. It will do this over and over- hitting and not running no matter what the conditions are outside (hot, cold, wet, dry). It was doing this once before and I replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor. It ran for several weeks before the no start problem came back; but it is back and I don't know where to go next. Pulled the plugs and they smell like fuel and have spark when I turn the car over. Someone please tell me what to try next. :confused: :confused: :confused:
