Friends car wont start
I know its aside from the camaro scene, but he has a '92 accord that wont start. Its not getting spark, i changed the master relay and coil, cleaned the battery terminals with no luck, any ideas?

It's been a little while since I worked on a Honda, but here's from memory. I seem to recall the distributor being driven off the front of the cam. Pull the distributor cap off and see if the rotor is spinning while cranking the engine. If the rotor isn't spinning, look down the oil fill hole in the valve cover to see if the cam is rotating. He may have snapped the timing belt.

Not if the distributor isn't working.
Since you were checking the battery, are you suspecting it's a power supply problem? Have you checked the + side of the coil with a meter?

Like Camaro69 said, check that camshaft rotation, if its not turning, you need to find out if its an interference engine or not. The valves could be damaged. I have an old 96 Ford Contour and the belt broke two times with no damage, you might get lucky.

Sorry I haven't worked on many Honda's, Camaro69 is alot of help on this one, but here are some other forums you may want to check that are Honda centered....

1) Check your mechanical timing of the belt
2) check to make your Ignition Control Module (ICM) is working properly
1. Remove the distributor cap, the distributor rotor, and the inner cover.
2. Disconnect the BLK/YEL, WHT/BLU, YEL/GRN, and BLU wires from the ignition control module (ICU)
3. Turn the ignition switch ON. Check for the voltage between the BLK/YEL wire and body ground. There should be battery voltage. If there is no battery voltage, check for an open in the BLK/YEL wire between the ignition coil and the ICM. If there is a battery voltage, go to step 4.
4. CHeck for the voltage between the WHT/BLU wire and the body ground. There should be battery voltage. If there is no battery voltage, check for faulty ignition coil or an open in the WHT/BLU wire between the ignition coil and the ICM.
5. Check the YEL/GRN wire between the engine control module (ECM) and the ICM.
6. Check the BLU wire between the tachometer and the ICM.
7. If all tests are normal, replace ICM.
