Only time I have had my '92 accord stop on me in the 215000 miles that
I have owned it since new it was the 'ignitor' in the distributer.
Engine quit like the key was shut off. i don't think it's your problem.
Try this: Sit in drivers seat. Turn radio off. Turn key to first
position where the dash lights come on and the fuel pump runs foe about
three seconds. If you don't hear the pump, there is something wrong in
the fuel delivery system. If you do hear the pump, replace the plug
wires if they are original to the car. Be sure the cap and rotor are
clean inside and out and the plugs are in good condition. MAY take care
of your no start. bob
