Car won't start????
Ok, here's my situation. I have a '96 Honda Accord Lx Coupe. Yesterday, I noticed my tank was almost on empty (but gas light did not come on yet), and was gonna get some gas but got caught up talking to my friend and forgot, and so I decided to get it that next day. This morning I tried to start my car but it wouldn't start. It would crank up, but would not completely turn on. I put more gas in, but still no luck. Tried pushing the gas pedal while starting it, i tried pushing the car while trying to start it by putting it in gear, but still no luck. I really don't want to take it to the shop cuz I'm really low on money right now. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

yeah, i hear the pump priming, and the car tries to start. I also hear a little rumble from the exhaust like it wants to start but won't. I have fuel, and I should have spark. How do I check spark just to make sure?

chk for codes then id look at battery/alternator/starter
just get your accord book out and follow the simple test procudures. all you need is a ohm meter
these are things u can chk for free without havin to go get a new part and put it on, possilby having to buy parts you dont really need
pull off plug wire and place a spark plug at the end of it and ground it out, but DONT SHOCK YOURSELF, it hurts.

You let your fuel lines empty out. This SUCKS.
You will have to prime the system over and over.... key on... key off... key on, key off....
Do this for several minuites... hopefully it should get everything working properly.
I've never had this happen before to me. Although this should work, and I believe this to help your problem...
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

this is funny..
still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the car, I decided to call a tow truck and take my car to a shop. When I got there, mechanic tried to start the car and same thing happens. Pops the hood checks the wires, and sees that the coil wire was disconnected!!!!!! Puts it back and and started the car!! I felt like a big idiot. He looked at me and said "ok, you can go now." I can't believe I didn't see that!
