I have 92 accord lx that isnt starting, I recently performed a wire tuck on the drivers side of the engine bay, and drove around for a week after I did it, the wires for the tuck contain, blinker, washer fluid, and mostly lighting. I had taken off the power steering a week ago aswell, so about 2 days ago, I wanted to take off the power steering bracket, in order to do this I had to take off the alternator and alternator bracket, I did, so I took off the the power steering bracket. The car worked just fine before I took off the bracket, when I went to go turn it on, the car barely turned on, and it would sputter and bog out, if you gave it quik amounts of gas under 2500rpm. But now the car wont turn on at all. Ive checked for fuel pressure and I have good fuel pressure, ive checked my relays for burnt plugs but their fine, I checked for compression by taking out the spark plug and cranking the motor and I can feel air and smeel gas, I also put the spark plug in the spark plug wire and grounded it and saw that its sparking just fine, ive checked all 4 cylinders, I didnt touch any sensors and I dont think a car can break by itself, can anyone help me please?

With everything in order, other possibile causes are :

1. Firing order or ignition timing out of specs.

2. Sparks too weak

3. Flooding due to faulty injectors.

4. Injectors not pulsing.

Have you checked the above?

Was anything done prior to this occurring?
Does the Check Engine Light come on for 2 seconds and go off at initial ignition switch ON?

I have checked my timing and it is on correctly, and I didnt mess up the firing order, I do not know if my spark is weak but I am getting spark, & I could smell gas when I did my compression test so I kno im gettin gas and my check engine is on because of my Intake air control valve thats it.

Does the code come back immediatley after resetting?

Did you try manual retrieval of the code by bridging the SCS connector and counting the blinks?
