91 accord lx, sometimes won't start
Bought my car used about a month ago. Replaced blown valve cover gasket. Spark plugs were soaked in oil, but after cleaning them off it ran OK but did idle rough. After about a week of driving it like that, there are occasions that it doesn't want to start. 1st time it happened I only had to turn it over twice and it started. 2nd time it took several times and about 15 minutes of waiting. Replaced plugs and wires and the same thing happened. I have all the lights and sounds, it tries to start but sometimes won't until I turn it over a few times. Doesn't turn over real slow and no clicking. Any ideas?

If the Check Engine Light consistently comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor solves the problem. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM. Old rotors and distributor caps often cause ICMs and coils to fail. Hence, this is the ideal time to replace these components, too.
