My 94 honda accord wont start

It ran hot for a couple of days and I would wait til it cooled down and put water in it while engine running and it continued to start. Well a couple of days ago it ran hot and the engine light came on. I pulled over, let it cool down, as usual, put water in the radiator, while engine still on, and the engine starts shaking really bad, so I stopped adding water and turned the engine off. When I immediately tried to start it again,..it wouldnt start. Its trying to turn over but it wont. It kinda gives a "die-down" type of noise as though the battery is dying, but it even does this when I connect it to jumper cables and another car. I realize that my head gaskets could be blown or the head warped. I could use a sealant to correct this problem but how do I get it started so that I can use the sealant,.....HEEEELLLLLLP!!

Remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over could be the head gasket if so the stop leak additive is a tempory soloution to a perminent problem. replace head gasket

    if the head gasket is in fact leaking then their is coolant getting on top of the piston and preventing the piston from stroking.

Why wont my 94 accord 4 cyl start when its warm out?

A common problem with no-start Honda cars is the fuel pump relay under the dash.
I would check that first. Could also be a faulty coil.

When I turned off my 2000 Honda Accord the other day one of the fans kept running and ran for about 20 minutes before shutting off. The car seems to be running fine now but I wondered if I should have my...

The fan running and staying on after the vehicle is shut off is sometimes normal to a point. Meaning that if an engine is to hot, low on coolant then the fan will come on and stay on to help cool the engine down after the vehicle has been shut off. But for it staying on for 20 minutes is not right either. I would wait and see if it happens again, if it does then I would have either a Mobile Mechanic or a shop look at the car to figure out why it is staying on.

Sorry. Could also be a cracked head or block. Take the spark plugs out and see if they are wet.  Charge battery and turn engine over with the coil grounded and the sparkplugs out. If water flyes out of any cylinder,you may have to disassemble the engine.
