I have a problem where my 91 accord lx either turns over but does not
start, or starts and stall within 2 seconds. After starting and
stalling it has trouble starting again. Once it gets going it is fine,
and sometimes it starts ok. It does not seem to be connected to heat,
etc. It has happened with the car warned up, and the car cold.


I took out the spark plug once and was able to get spark against the
value cover bolt from 1/4 inch away.
I have sprayed starting fluid in the air intake and started with gas
pedal down all the way and that has worked a couple times
I replaced the spark plug and that was enough to get it going once.

There is plenty of gas.
I replaced the whole distributor(excpet ignition coil) and replaced the
ignitor(oem) about 4 months ago(and adjusted the timing). The checked
the resistence on the ignition coil then and it looked ok. Replaced
fuel filter(aftermarket) 6 months ago. The checked the resistence on
the
I tested the resistence of the spark plug wires and they are well
within spec.
When I took about the spark plugs, I think 2 of them had oil on the
inside.
The dealer checked my injectors a couple months ago.
The check engine light is not on when started. I checked the codes
and the the check engine light did not flash but the sport light did.
I thought it was the check engine light the flashes??? the sport light
flashed 1, 2, 7, 8 which does not seem to make a lot of sense.

Any ideas?
