I Have A 97 Accord Se That I Just Purchased,when I Bought This Cat It Was Running Fine,it Had A Oil Leak From The Valve Cover Gasket So I Replaced The Gasket.when Taking Off The Cover I Noticed Alot Of Old Oil"mud Like" Substance On The Valve Springs/camshaft.
I Did An Engine Flush To Get All That Crap Out Then Changed Oil,sparkplugs&wires.i Also Changed The Tranny Fluid.
The Car Ran Great For About 3days Then The Oil Light Flickered On/off.car Still Ran Fine Thou.
Now I Started The Car Up In The Afternoon On The Fourth Day After Doing The Flush,idrove It About 25 Feet And It Stalled,
Now When I Try Starting It Only Turns Over Like It Dosent Get Any Gas!!!
Can Anyone Please Help Me Solve This Mystery !!!!!!!!!

Oil flushing is bad news...NEVER do that on an older motor if it has no oil delivery problems. I've seen this many times, some time after the flush a large amount of sludge breaks loose and partially or completely blocks the pickup screen for the pump...

I don't know if it's related to the no-start...check your wires again...aftermarket ones don't always fit right especially on the coil...they pop off sometimes..
