97 accord v6 cranks but won't start

Asked by Scottie's May 02, 2020 at 09:26 PM about the 1997 Honda Accord EX V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Okay, so I have a 97 honda accord with the 2.7 v6
in it. I recently replaced the head gaskets (were
blown when I bought it), intake and plenum
gaskets, also the exhaust gaskets. Reset timing by
the specified marks 1oclock in the rear, 12oclock in
the front, replaced the ckp sensor, distributor cap
and rotor button as well as plugs and wires, also
replaced main relay for common fuel issue. Tested
spark at plug and I am getting spark. Timing is set
correctly and no belts are loose. I cannot hear the
fuel pump engage when turning key to on position.
It does crank and all lights come on in dash. I don't
have a cel though. Any ideas? Thanks!

I replaced the number 15 fuel pump fuse under the dash and now the fuel pump works but still no start. You said it could be the ignition switch or fuse? I'll have to check that out tomorrow. Also checking compression in cylinders tomorrow.
