Honda Accord Ex 94 Crank No Start Issue

[Arcturian]

The capacitors go on many older vehicles. Replacing the ECU is usually the fix. Dont waste tour time on Fuel Pumps or Regulators, replace the ECU or ECM.

This is a long shot, but hopefully you'll see this comment.
I have a 94 honda accord also which cranked, but wouldn't start. I took the cover off the ecu, and the same capacitor was blown. Do you know why that capacitor would blow? I mean, is it a faulty ecu, or could an external electrical problem be the cause?
My ecu was pretty damaged, but I managed to solder a new capacitor in temporarily just to see what would happen. It started and ran for about 10 seconds, and then it blew the capacitor again.

I had a 1994 accord that somethimes won't start especially in the summer when interior was hot, the fuel pump was not priming
I traced the fault down to the fuel relay which was located under the dashboard right at the top difficult to get to.
I opened this relay up and found a bad solder joint inside, resoldered it then it was fine for many years.

Another problem I had many years later that the engine cut out and won't start again until engine completely cool down then it was start and run for about 15 seconds then cutout again, I noticed there was no spark at the plugs so replaced the electronic ignitor module inside the distributor, worked fine no issues, So just to make sure I fitted the old one back in and problem returned after 15 seconds engine stalls so I was 100% sure it was the ignitor module. Just cost £82 for parts.

A friend of mine had a 20 year old civic that died and won't start, he gave it to a garage to fix but they gave up on it.
He told me about it and I said it could the ignitor module in the distributor.
So we went the a breakers yard and pulled out a full distributor from another car
Then I just removed the ignitor module over so that way I didn't upset the ignition timing and it started up first time! Even these mechanics were Impressed! Cost £35 for second hand parts.

Sometimes its the main relay, and sometimes on my accord 94 the problem it's near the cluster, touching randomly the wires and pushing

You may have simply been able to swap out the burnt capacitor to get it running. The burnt board looks fine, as long as the leads are still good.

I had a question. I'm going through the same thing with my accord. But it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. I was wondering if you ever changed your Coil inside the distributor cap or anything else you tried doing ?

1995 Honda Accord EX....I replaced the relay, and the fuel pump, no good.... The problem was the ECU or ECM. I bought it at Rockauto and it fixed my erratic fuel pump issues right away. Thank God the nightmare is over. easy fix. Learn how to replace the ECU/ECM on youtube, do a search. Here @

Having the same issue, but mine instead of just cranking it kind of turns but then loses power and wont start all the way!! Any idea on what could it be.

[macbook]

How much did the ECU cost you to replace? The burnt part you show on the video

[Tyga]

Did you change your main relay switch?

[rhino]

How were you able to start your car without the main relay being plugged in?

[Xalaxxi]

Can you tell me why my accord isn’t starting, replace fuel pump, temperature gauge, the main relay wasn’t working so we hooked a flip switch to it and fuel pump turns on, but the car won’t turn on now, crank no start please someone help me is it the starter module?

[imachefmang]

Was it also hasn't hitting on Hills? Under load I mean oh, especially after a couple gears in?

@Mechanics101
So when the problem ECU was plugged into the car and you cranked it with no start
was the yellow check engine light staying on? Thanks

[shantwanwilson]

wherwhere can I get a cheap ECU I'm having the same problem

[johnlamb]

Did the fuel pump not turn on when it wouldn't start

[sergioramos]

I need help, my 90 Honda accord doesn't start, it has a new distributor, I changed the main relay, it has good fuel pressure, any ideas, thanks

[sergiogallardo]

Uhm yes I have a question, cuanto Cobras Por la hora 😉

[ricardochavez]

We need help with a 96 accord that won't start, my car only cranks and my d4 light will not come on, what could it be ?

[serapioncortez]

My car stars but after I go for a drive I turn it off n it wont start till it cools off
