1986 Honda Accord LXI will not start. It used to stall when idling at stop lights or stop signs, then the battery died. When I looked, the cable running from the terminal to the starter was disconnected completely. I replaced the terminal and now the car won't start at all. Very slow turn over, but will never fully start. All electric works and fuel pump is fine. Any ideas?

89 Accord LXI Idle problems

It's fuel infected and it has a vacuum leak, most likely a PCV valve that is stuck open, I've seen a few now. Replace the PCV valve 1st, if that doesn't fix it, start looking for a hose that has come off.
