New to the market - Help

q-man · 03-14-06, 08:56 AM

Greetings,
I just bought this beautiful 93' Legend 4-dr sedan not running. The previous owner said it just quit running one day and could not get the car started again. Knowing that I might have a bought a problem but the car is in perfect condition and the price was right, and I mean right, therefore, I can't pass up on the deal.

It seems the compression is there and no trouble with motor. What should I check for and where do I start? Any ideas? Please help since I am new with in Acura market.

Thank you in advance.

He is right it depends on the issue. Fire and gas. I guess it turns over if the compression is ok so look first to the fuil pump then spark. a blown fuse puts a damper on the fuil pump and is a simple change. You may want ot look at the info on computer codes also.

Probly the relay. I think theres still a thread called "car won't start" or somthing like that on pg.1. It goes over the fix with pic's. Check the easy stuff first, you probly have if you checked the compression already. Good Luck
