I'm not sure I get it. Did you fix the timing? If not, then that's the reason it won't start. You can do it manually by turning or pulling on the drive belt in the correct direction. Feel for compression in plug #1--you can stick your finger in it while someone else turns the key in the ignition is short bursts.

When you do feel it, the distributor should be positioned so that terminal for #1 plug faces the #1 plug location and the crank (maybe cam ) shaft reads either at TDC or whatever the manual states is the correct number of degrees from TDC (top Dead Center). That is usually located behind the fan at the front of the motor.
Usually, when a distributor has been replaced, the timing must be reset. Whatever you decide, you will need the manual if you do your own work. Look on line--I'm guessing your have a computer? There are many sites available that have exploded views of the engine components for your specific vehicle's engine.

I would start off by turning the engine manually by hand (in the natural direction) until the #1 cylinder is up. Then I would verify all my spark plug wires on the rotor and verify that the number 1 position on the rotor goes to the number 1 cylinder while the cylinder is up and looking for that spark. Then verify your firing order in the manual because the 2nd position the rotor goes to is that firing order and it's not going to be cylinder number 2. I had that problem once myself so recheck the order of rotation.

SOURCE: 1995 Honda Accord 4 Cyl Auto does not start.

these hondas have 3 common problems with no start if the car spins over but dosen't start you have 3 things to look at

  1. Ignition Switch
  2. The Distributor
  3. The PGMFI Relay.
Check these three things and get back to us.

Testimonial: "It was the PGFMI Relay. Took it out and inserted it back and the car started. It was probably stuck and has been running fine ever since. Thank you."

SOURCE: Honda Accord 1994 Rough Idle, often miss cylinder

A check on the spark plugs of the 2nd and 3rd cylinder must tell the story. If you see there is a dirty plug, oil soaked or badly burnt we need to check on the firing and fuel delivery.
First of all check for compression if there is oil smearing, it can be due to weak oil rings or compression rings or a faulty bore in case the engine has clocked a great deal.
Also check the valve settings before the firing - spark intensity of the 2nd and 3rd plugs are confiremed. Check the HT wires to the plugs as you have checked the remaining sections. I hope this must give an indication of the lurking fault.

My kids 1991 Honda Accord won't start. It crank, it has sparks but it just won't start. I change the spurge plugs, the plug wires, the ignition cap, the rotter, the ignition behind, and there are gas....

Take the distributer cap off, and turn the engine. If the rotor doesn't turn, your timing belt is broken. If it does turn, aim a timing light at the crank and see what the timing marks are doing. If they are jumping all over the place, and not staying in one position, your timing belt has jumped and will need to be replaced. Good luck. Let me know how you make out.

Cranks but no spark

if you replaced the distributer, you might want to check and see if you got the vehicle back in timing.

1991 honda accord - runs rough and stalls on start up.

Did you set the ignition timing after you installed the dist.? If yes, I'd say you got a bad distributor(the one you just put in) since all the codes you're getting are directly for sensors located within the distributor.
