93 honda accord engine no fire cylinder 1

bingo, hondas are all interference engines, (99%)
http://www.interferenceengines.com/honda.html

3.0L J30A1 V6 200 hp (150 kW)??????? this one?
SOHC V6

no compression on all cylinders????????? or just 1.
1: the valves were bent. at the belt snap?, (skipping 60k service !@)
2: you timed the cam wrong.
3 : The system uses the i-VTEC system to turn off one bank of cylinders under light loads
so maybe this feature is active? and you didnt check all cylinders for
compression? ???? try all 6 and post.
did you follow all steps in the FSM to do this job? y/n
or alldata.com ????

4: did you have the HLA valve lifters out. and not prime them? per FSM.
if you like this car, why not own a FSM. (or equiv)

never ever crank over any interference engine after any major work
(heads off, cam belt, change,or lost compression)
until:
1: you turn engine over by hand, sparks out.
2: then run a cyl. leak down test, first. on all 6
if not ,the 7 HP starter can in FACT bend valves.
that be Rule 1. (or $$$$$$$_)

bad head gasket which means taking the top of the motor off...altho you would do that anyway to replace a bad valve..

Hi the firing order for your Honda is 1 3 4 2.
No. 1 is the cylinder at the pulley end of the engine.
Honda put there engines in backwards to most front wheel drive vehicle, the pulley end is on
the right when u lift the bonet ( the hood )
Hope this helps you.

the valves are bent if you lost the timing belt you need to do a compression test. the low cylinder needs a leakage test to see where it is losing compression you can get each cylinder on compression stroke and put air pressure in the spark plug hole and listen to the exhaust pipe if you hear it hissing the exhaust valve is bent for that cylinder if you hear through the throttle body the intake is bent on that cylinder if you hear it in the valve cover with the oil cap off then the rings are leaking

The 2.7 L - V6 engine in a 1996 Honda Accord is : 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 The distributor rotor turns COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
The engine cylinders / spark plug locations are numbered :
1----2----3
4----5----6
front of Accord

For the 1994 Honda Accord 2.2L SOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder:
Firing Order:
1 - 3 - 4 - 2
Cylinders:
.........(back)..........
'...4....3....2....1...'
.........(front)
Distributor:
......4
3..........2
......1.......\\\\\\
........\\\\\\\\\

Let me know if this helped. Thanks for using FixYa.com!

Did the timing belt break? Or did it over heat? ethere way you will need to do a valve job on the cylinder head, but before you do that, do a wet cylinder compression test, shoot some oil in the cylinder's then do a compression test, if compression goes way up, then you have bad piston rings and the engine will have to be overhaul or replace.

2.3 L 4 cylinder is 1-3-4-2 & the distributor rotates clockwise.

3.0 L V6 is 1-4-2-5-3-6

2.3 liter
Cylinder # from passenger to drivers side 4-3-2-1
Distributor rotating clock wise #1 is at 6 O"clock (towards the radiator.)

3.0 liter V6
Cylinder # from passenger to drivers side, firewall 1-2-3
Cylinder # from passenger to drivers side, radiator 4-5-6

Good luck and keep me posted if you have any other questions.

The cylinder is not getting fuel, spark or compression. You have already checked for spark on that cable and it appears to be good. Pull the spark plug and see if it is damaged. You can also switch spark plug and cable to another cylinder and see if the miss travels with the plug and or cable. If so, you'll know its the spark plug/cable that is bad.

You can check for fuel by listening to the fuel injector to see if it clicks. Use an automotive stethoscope or a long screwdriver--put the metal end of the screwdriver on the injector and the other end against your ear and listen to the injector while the engine is cranking or running. You should hear it click for each time it pulses fuel.

If both fuel and spark are good, then you are probably missing compression in that cylinder. You (or a mechanic) will need to pull all the spark plugs and do a engine compression test with a compression test/gage set. Lots of things can lead to poor or zero compression including: broken piston rings, burned/stuck/broken valves, cracked cylinder head or engine block, cracked pistons,etc.

Because one cylinder is "dead", the engine has to work extra hard to start and run against a cylinder that is dragging it down. If you find low/no compression in that cylinder, you will probably have to remove the cylinder head to correct it. A big expensive job. It may be cost effective to replace the whole engine with a rebuilt one.

Could be head gasket or piston rings. Piston ring issues will smoke under load or when revving the engine.

Do a compression test.
