May not have been the alternator , check the main relay module , may need to re solder the connections. Its under the dash on the left side
of the steering column , its a little hard to see and get out but the connections often burn through the solder and present problems such as this that mimic a fuel supply problem .

replace de ignition module first.. if still wont start good chances is the crank sensor is located behind the timing belt.. my 94 legend use to do the same thing until i replace the crank sensor.. and also if u can afford i will suggest u to replace the main fuel relay too... all this is after u are 100 pcnt sure that ur fuel pump is working....

SOURCE: replaced alternator now won't start

hello first check your fuse panel inside and under hood test all with test light if all fuses are good trace main power wire from back of alternator for a burnt fusible link i think its just a snapped fuse when installing new alternator the pos wire on back might have touch the bracket grounded snapped the fuse look good at the fuses goodluck

SOURCE: 93 acura legend just replaced alternator and

I f the car turned over before you replaced the alternator then maybe the problem is not the alternator but ignition issues, sometime the igniton module goes on these cars without warning my advise would be to remove one of the spark plugs to check for spark, remove wire then plug in plug to wire lay the plug on a part of the motor that is metallic, have an assistant turn the car over and try to start look to see if plug has a blue spark or purple don't do test in direct sunlight. If a good spark is seen go on to next test stick your finger into the hole where the spark plug goes have an assistant turn motor over you should hear and feel alot of pressure trying to push your finger out of hole if you don't feel a good deal of pressure you probably broke the timing belt and the cylinder head must be removed and rebuilt because of the nature of the designed interference engine (valve gets hit by piston bending it when timing belt breaks) good luck

Your alternator needs to be checked, if it goes bad the car will run of the battery but when the battery gets low the car will lose power and when the battery goes dead the car will just die and not restart. Did the engine even turn over when you tried to crank it if so its probably the alternator. I hope that helps you out!

My 89 Legend coupe 2.7 wont start

1st- find the short. If the previous owner said there is a short under the seat , look for it and repair it.
2nd -after repair check your charging system and battery to make sure its up to specs.

Note: I gather the under seat wiring is for seat control, maybe you could unplug it and see if the battery and alternater work ok. If it does and you can't repair wiring perhaps you can get a replacement wiring harness for that section( seat control?)

Good luck
