How are the spark plugs? If they are bad it will cause the problem you are describing.

The accord just will not start. It will turn over, but not start. Our local honda mechanic thinks it has "lost" its program. What would this consist of, how did it happen and what will the potential cost be for repair?

Hi MTHarris,

When vehicle could not start, we need to know what is missing. Namely
1. Fuel.
2. Ignition sparks.

Can you tell us more about the problem?

Is the security key blinking on the dash when starting?

I've had a weak / bad battery that only turned the motor over but wont crank.

If you observe or hear a clicking sound during start up, it will be more than likely your starter.

Try checking plugs, wires, also. If all of the above dont work try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting and be sure to double check the terminal, make sure there nice and tightly secure.

If you can provide more info on your problem iam sure someone on here can get you back on track.
Good luck* MT

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

Have replaced ckp sensor, plugs and one ignition coil. The timing belt marks are right on. Compression is 130 to 160 on all cylinders. Have fuel, fire and air. Converter is not plugged. Check engine light flashes but does not set a code. Before no start car would start and run but ran rough. Now it wont start at all. Is it a bad ECU? Any suggestions?

Fuel pressure is good. 50+. I think either the new ckp sensor I put in is bad or the computer possibly.
