97 accord "wont start" HELP!!!aWW SH!T 08-12-2008, 02:39 AM 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 !!!!!!!!! jeffcoslacker 08-12-2008, 08:02 AM 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.. aWW SH!T 08-12-2008, 12:11 PM Oil flushing is bad news...NEVER do that on an older motor if it has no oil delivery problems.
