My girlfriends 1987 Honda Accord suddenly would not start one morning, i found that it is not firing on 2 cylinders. I have replaced the ignition coil and still no start. Could it be the distributor, computer or something else i am not aware of. Thanks for your help

Thanks for the fast reply, I looked in my repair manual and didnt find a crank angle sensor for the 87 honda accord dx. This car has a carburetor so i dont think it has a crank angle sensor.

I'm pulling this data out of Mit1 ondemand5.com and stated the crank angle sensor is located on the distributor end of engine-For DX
