I have a 95 Honda Accord that won't start?
I had someone come look out at they said that my timing belt broke and I need a water pump. When I try the crank up the car it acts like it wants to fire up but doesn't. It overheated real bad I tried to place anti-freeze and just leaks out the lower right (if facing the engine). Could this be a cause of my problem?
Come on baby you can start.
You have said that the engine sounds like it wants to start. If you had broken the timing belt the engine would spin over very fast like you took out the spark plugs and it would not sound like it wants to start. It would not take much work to remove the cover and see and you need to do that to get to the water pump anyway. So don't panic until you pull the cover.
If your timing belt went, there would have been considerable noise as the valves hit the pistons. It does not sound like that happened. It does sound like you had an overheating problem which may be caused by a water pump or a number of other things. The leaking coolant sounds more like a blown head gasket. This could be pretty expensive.
If the timing belt is broke then your engine is a goner. If you overheated the engine, that also probably killed it. I don't think this car will run again to be fair.
The water-pump "weep-hole" is under the in-put shaft casting on the *left side of the engine. When a timing belt breaks in this engine it will have damaged the valves and pistons. You have an interference engine!
- My 1983 Honda nighthawk 650 won't start with the electric start? I recently replaced the ignition coils because the old ones were getting heat soaked and the bike would die, however now the bike won't start with the electric start it turns over fin and the starter sounds fine but it won't start occasionally it ll start when it's cold or try to but I've been having to bump start it in order to ride it. So what's making it do this? Could it be the kill switch? Or something else?
- I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
- I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
- How come my atv won't electric start but will crank if I push start it? 2006 Honda trx. Doesn't have a pull rope only electric start. The starter motor turns over the engine but just won't start but I'll push it down the yard with it in gear and it will fire right up. I'm so confused by this.
