I have a no start on a 91 Accord. As per the repair manual went through the steps for a no spark condition. Put a rebuilt distributor in. Still no spark. Is there anything else to look at? Dist. is turning and have power to coil and igniter.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6223989-ignition_coil_doesn_t_spark . These are generic instructions--specific instructions are pasted below from Autozone.com. If you get stuck, please get back to me.

Use a test light to check for power to the coil on the black wire with a yellow stripe--see procedure below and other tests you can run. You will need a volt-ohm meter to run most of these tests.

The system used on 1990-95 Accords and 1989-95 fuel injected Preludes uses the distributor components to signal the engine computer. The ECU triggers the spark through the igniter unit and coil. This spark timing is controlled by the computer as an integrated function of the fuel management system. The distributor contains a crankshaft angle sensor and a No. 1 Cylinder Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor. Using these and other electrical inputs, the computer controls spark timing electrically.

1990-91 ACCORD
See Figure 6

1. Remove the distributor cap, rotor and shield.
2. Label and disconnect the 4 wires from the igniter unit.
3. Switch the ignition ON . Use a voltmeter to check for voltage between the black/yellow wire and ground. Battery voltage should be present. If the voltage is not present, check the black/yellow wire between the igniter and the ignition switch.
4. Check for voltage between the white/blue wire and ground. Battery voltage should be present with the ignition ON . If voltage is not present, check the white/blue wire from the igniter to the coil and test the ignition coil.
5. Turn the ignition OFF . Check for continuity in the yellow/green wire between the igniter and the ECU.

1. Check the blue wire for continuity between the tachometer and the igniter.
2. Check the resistance between the terminals which connect to the blue and white/yellow wires. It should be between 1,100-3,300 ohms. If not, the igniter must be replaced.

Coil test:
1990-91 ACCORD

See Figure 16

1. The ignition coil is contained within the distributor. With the ignition OFF , remove the distributor cap.
2. Remove the screws securing the black/yellow wire and white/blue wires from the terminals. The black/yellow wire is connected to the primary positive terminal and the white/blue wire is connected to the primary negative terminal.
3. Measure resistance between the terminals. Resistance should be between 0.6-0.8 ohms.
4. Measure the resistance between the primary positive terminal and the secondary terminal. Resistance should be 12,800-19,200 ohms.

1. All test conditions must be met. If any test condition is not satisfied, the coil must be replaced.

I would check the crank sensor located on the bell housing. This senses that the engine is turning and allows a spark to be produced. No sensor no spark.

There is a sensor under the left hand side of the dash that would not allow it to start, provided that you have replaced the electronic spark module inside the distributor first, which is what it sounds like it would be, When you say you replaced the distributor I assume you replaced it complete!

it sounds like distributor check for spark when it wont start if there ig no spark then its faulty

Check the battery voltage and do a load test
Is the starter turning over the engine
Are you getting spark from the distributor as wel;las injector pulse

dizzy cap?? 91?? try changing the ignition module ,not sure where it is on this model it will be either under the coil or inside the distributor

my 91 accord had a bad distributor twice, it had spark but something in the shaft gets worn or loose.

Sounds like your valve seals are gone. Expensive, unless you can do it yourself.

Did you open the relay assy? If not, resolder the relays. Very common problem.
