hello, everyone! my accord wont start! it wont turn over. the stereo and lights all work. thought it was the battery at first so i replaced it this weekend. tried to start it and got nothing. CHECK ENGINE light was on for a while and there was a knocking noise on the driver side of the engine which stopped whenever the car stopped or was left to idle before it "met its maker". please help!

Helms is recommended,but a Haynes is better than nothing.Haynes should be about $20 USD.,at most auto stores like PepBoys,Autozone,.... You WILL have to pull the starter off the motor.Perhaps from underneath. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net >> Stay informed about: 1996 accord lx wont start!

The starter should come out from the top in that car, it's actually in a fairly easy place to get to. You'll want to pull the airbox lid and arm, the distributor cap, and just shove the upper radiator hose out of the way. I believe it's only three (14mm head) bolts, plus the wires. Should come right out. >> Stay informed about: 1996 accord lx wont start!
