Time to change the distributor?
Engine won't turn over. Battery fine. Don't think it's air in the fuel lines as it's been ca. four hours since I first tried to start the car.

Last distributor installed June 2003. I remember a similar situation last time before I had to replace it.

Your thoughts please?

1. It's rarely the distributor.
But I need more info. What make, model, year and engine?

Miles?

Does it have spark?

2. Honda Accordd '93 four-cylinder
Not sure about spark. Two loose spark plugs. I'll let you know tomorrow.

3. Starter motor
If it won't turn over at all, and you're sure the battery is charged, that's where I'd look first.
