Automatic or manual ?

Hi Richard there's no handy way to start it if there was it would be gone. The immobiliser system needs to be activated with the key before it will start. Good luck.

Most of the time these distributor come with the ignition module did your, if it did and it has not been that long and is still under warranty, have it replace, if it did not come with one replace module.

Check your battery earth and the engine earth to the bodywork if there worn the engine won't run.good luckScott

Have the codes read. It will be a cheaper fix now, than if you keep driving it.

distributor fail or ignition coil.

easy and all u need is 10mm socket

I suspect some check for the O2 sensor, you are either running to rich and the message is actual problem or the sensor is faulty. I would check it @ auto zone for free.

Depends on what you call easy and if you are mechanically inclined. First jack up the vehicle, remove the tire, remove the inner fender cover to accessthe balancer pulley. remove the drive belts, remove the crankshaft bolt and the remove the pulley. Then remove the bolts holding the lower timing cover in place. Install in reverse order. Average time to replace the cover is about 2 hours.

best done on a lift, but there are 2 ways. 1- purchase a slide hammer from any auto parts or harbor freight, and get the cv axle remover adapter to screw on the end. Slide between the axle where it meets the trans and operate the slide hammer. (Assuming you are already with unbolting the wishbone, lower ball joint, etc...) 2- is to wedge a prybar between the axle and transmission to pop it out. The wrong leverage can destroy your transmission.

you need to count the "blinks" as these are error codes and refer to a specific component , follow this link to show how to read and reset these error codes , good luck 90 93 accord and obd1 cel codes Honda Tech

The negative battery cable is sometimes known as the earth (or ground) cable or the chassis return. This particular cable is a heavy duty and quite thick cable because it provides the return path for the current supplied to the starter motor for cranking the engine. Sometimes it is a long cable that is connected to the engine with a further ground cable from the engine to the car bodywork. Sometimes it is a long cable that is fastened both to the bodywork and then on to the engine. Sometimes it is a short cable that simply connects the battery to the bodywork and a there is another cable elsewhere that connects the bodywork to the engine. While replacing the terminal that fits to the battery needs some knowledge, patience and experience for success, replacing the short cable is relatively simple as both ends will be accessible without too much difficulty and all that will be necessary will be to unbolt the old one, ensure the mounting points are good clean bare metal and then smear some grease or Vaseline over the metal surfaces and especially the bolt threads and then reverse the removal. Replacing a long lead is the same principle but releasing the lower end usually means following the lead down to where it is fastened to the engine or gearbox and unbolting it there. A certain amount of stretching and reaching is involved and the chances of getting quite dirty are high. Sometimes access to the lower end of a long lead means moving or removing other things and sometimes the only sensible access is from underneath. Sometimes a long lead is taped into a wiring harness and the correct replacement then really becomes troublesome. It is at such times employing a certain amount of knowledge and experience can shorten the work considerably by finding and using an easier alternative mounting position. I hope this helps you just a little...

Gauges work by have 12 volts supplied to one side, and other wire goes to the sending unit to furnish ground through variable resistor. With two gauges acting up, sounds like a short to ground somewhere and that short could also be effecting trans operation. There are special tools that can be used to help find shorts. Ask at parts store.

Need more details here but i would suspect the timing belt has broke

ck main fuses

Try using starter spray.

blower motor most likely pretty easy to get out. one elecrical plug and 3 bolts which I believe can come out with a phillips or an 8mm socket. check fuses first though as it may be something that simple. if you have a multimeter you could probe the wires at the electrical connection and see if theres power to the motor when the switch is on to verify if its a fan problem or a power problem.
