ignition problem - Honda Accord 94
Hi,
recently I have encountered the following problem on my Honda Accord '94. |Sometimes|, when I try to run the ignition it cranks, seems to start for half a second (speedometer shows something) and then nothing (dies). Also all indicators seems to go off after that. If I turn the key to off, and try again sometimes the engine starts, sometimes not. If I insist it always starts (so far at least!). I checked the battery, seems fine (12.5V). I recently also replaced sparks and rotor cap, so these hopefully should be fine. >From the posts it seems that 3 could be the main causes: 1. fuel injection main relay 2. starter 3. fuel pump Any more concrete suggestions from what I described?? TIA michael |

ignition problem - Honda Accord 94
Also, today when I tried to start the car, I noticed that
sometimes the dashboard indicators didn't light on when the key was in the "on" position (first time is happened I think). |

ignition problem - Honda Accord 94
thank you for the advice. It seems it was the ignition switch. I tried the ignition switch with a screwdriver before putting it to place and the car started and the lights turned on when at position "II". To take the old one off was very tricky (don't know people on the websites describe it in 3 steps!) We had to disassemble it, otherwise there was no space to take it out. Also, putting the ignition switch in place took very long time, because we had to disassemble and assemble it again to put it to place. Now for the bad news and to make the long story short... It seems that the first time we put it back, we didn't place the clip on (which holds the prongs in place), so when we put the wires on the switch probably some of the ignition switch prongs were pushed back. When we turned the engine on again (using the key now ), something shorted and burned (we heard a 'tsaf'). When I opened the fuse box it looks like the part on the bottom right where some cables come in the fuse box burned. Next time that we tried to crank the engine, there is no crank and I see some small indication of smoke from the negative pole of the battery(!). After that we placed the ignition switch properly, but the bad was already done. So now, when turning key to ignite: 0. At "II" indicators will light 1. At "III" no crank (just click) 2. Smoke from neg. battery pole 3. Bottom right part of fuse box when some cables come in, seems to be burned. (will post picture if necessary) 4. Battery is ok though (still at 12.5v) Thanks for your previous advice. Any suggestions now? Can that burned part be replaced? I think I have to cut some cables and reconnect them. I hope I don't screw up more after that... michael High Tech Misfit wrote: > wrote: > > > Also, today when I tried to start the car, I noticed that > > sometimes the dashboard indicators didn't light on > > when the key was in the "on" position (first time is happened > > I think). > > As somebody pointed out in alt.autos.honda, it's likely the ignition switch. |
