1992 accord ignition wiring problem..

[petem]

My son in law started playing with his 92 honda accord 2.2liter 16 valve

he took away hiis gnition wiring and ddint took note on were the wire where
going...

so now he is stuck with an engine that back fire like hell and wont start

anyone can point me..so i could help him find wich wire goes to wich
cylinder?

i think the first cylinder would be closes to the timing belt, but thats
about it...
(we would need to know what is the position on the rotor cap too..)

thanks for the help

Yes, cylinder #1 is the one closest to the timing belt. With any luck,
the distributor cap has numbers stamped on it. I found
http://66.98.216.63/hondah/manuals/C%20-%20Specifications.pdf that
indicates that the firing order for all 4-cylinder Honda engines listed
is 1 - 3 - 4 - 2. And just what is that dufus doing with your daughter?

You should figure out a way to put a pad lock on the hood so your son
can't open it. If he needs to take it in for service--go with him and open
the pad lock for the mechanic and order the mechanic to relock the pad
lock after he has finished working on it--just kidding.

i made hi read your post and he turned all red!!

Thanks again every one for the info the car now runs like a new...

when i told hime that we could have help from a newsgroup he told me i
needed some medicamentation..
Now he programed his outlook to read this,and a few other newsgroup...
Bet he will learn a few tricks and wont be stuck again lke he was..

one trick i gave him is simple take a few snap shot with his digital cam
BEFORE removing anything ,and take a few more at every step so he have a
good base to work from..

Thanks again all

That is a great idea. Another idea is to tell him not to work on any car
unless he has a service manual in front of him and follows the
instructions. He should also take a course at the local college related to
basic auto mechanics.
