my brother crashed the passanger front end of his honda and gave it to me since he did not want to fix it the engine was not tuched and still turned on but i just had to change the radiator and it started up fine that was about 4 or 5 pm the light is still not fixed then like 1 or 2 hours later it would not start. i can hear the crank so i know its not the starter what can it be can it be becuse of the light but it started up just 1 to 2 hours be for plez help schools just around the corner:bigthumb:

Ps: there is a little black box that was cracked and some little tubes that got ript Could it be a senser relay

Ps: i dont think that the spark plugs are geting any spark what controls that ill tuch it when daylight comes up and post if it has any shock on it

what light?
Make sure its got some gas

It could be many things

Check for spark & fuel pressure
Fuel pump
Fuel Filter
Main relay
Ignition coil
Igniter
cap/rotor
plug wire
plugs

The headlight wont have anything to do with the car not starting, unless maybe all the headlight fluid leaked out:icon16: Anyways the first thing I would check is the coil

What connects to the "little black box"? where do the tubes go?

The coil is in the distrib. cap if no 5th wire on the cap is present. If there is a 5th wire follow that to the coil. The igniter is also inside the cap

i have a 91 honda accord Ex and when my car didn't start it turned out that the fuel pump was shot.....Get someone to check it out......it could be a lot of different things.........If it is really hot outside and you're really low on gas it could be vapour lock as well........who knows.....could be anything but i think it isn't vapour lock cause you did say that it got in an accident

prime the fuel rail and try restarting. the accident may have nothing to do with the car not starting - the FPR has been know to be sometimesish in these cars in particular the 91-93 models.
