I have a 1997 Honda Accord that won't stay running long after you start it? - 1

Added (1). I'm trying to run diagnostics using the paperclip in the 2 pin connector. The check engine light flashes with a consistent speed for each digit. I get digits 4-8-9. What does this mean

Go to a car parts store and have the codes properly read.

The SCS connector method is obsolete; using the OBDII is much better. Old Honda code 4 is the CKP sensor (crank position sensor in the distributor), 8 is also CKP sensor, while 9 is the CMP (cam position sensor). I would not recommend replacing either based on the blink codes, especially in an OBDII Honda. They are good suspects but not that good. In theory, the engine will not start at all with a bad CKP sensor. Both those codes can be *caused* by no-start.

  • Have a 2003 Honda Rebel, won't start (no power) after it rained, I charged the battery, still nothing? Cold end is a little corroded but nothing serious, has been starting up before the rain. Suggestions? And it should be dry.
  • Engine will start but won't stay on? I have a small engine, a honda 9.0 gx270, that starts fine, (used for a go kart) and stalls a moment later. I need to know how to fix it, but not sure of the cause. Could it be flooding? I thought a flood made it hard to crank. But it starts right up. Its not the spark plugs, i replace them weekly (i work in a go karting establishment.) it has a fresh air filter. I'm stumped honestly. Any suggestions or recommendations as to what it is and how to fix?
