Don't Shift, Don't Turn Engine by bubuyog3

My Honda was driving fine yesterday. This morning, I could not start it-- the key would not turn and the shiftstick would not move. My ten-year old son was fumbling inside the car yesterday but he denied touching anything except the garage door opener. What happened? What to do?
 
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Try turning the steering wheel one way then the other while turning the key.

Glad to hear it worked!!!
 
When you mentioned your son was in the car, but he didn't say he touched anything, I thought maybe he grabbed the steering wheel, gave it a twist, locking the steering wheel but also locking it under torque. That can lock things up until you turn it.

1. If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed and let the air conditioning work a few minutes, then shut the engine off and disconnect the battery negative terminal.
   2. Use a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling System to recover the refrigerant from the system.
 

 
   3. Remove:
 
          o power steering mounting bolt and nut
          o adjusting bolt
          o adjusting bolt bracket
          o power steering belt
          o power steering pump
 

 
   4. Remove the two cruise control actuator mounting bolts, disconnect the connector and remove the cruise control actuator.
 

 
   5. Remove the alternator harness clamp and disconnect the alternator harness.
 

 
   6. Remove:
 
          o alternator mounting bolt and nut
          o adjusting bolt
          o adjusting bolt bracket
          o compressor belt
          o alternator
 

 
   7. Disconnect the connectors from the condenser fan, and remove the connector from the compressor. Remove the three mounting bolts and remove the condenser fan shroud. CAUTION: Do not damage the radiator fins when removing the fan shroud.
 

 
   8. Disconnect the suction and discharge hoses from the compressor. CAUTION: Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture and dirt out of the system.
 

 
   9. Remove the four compressor mounting bolts and compressor. CAUTION: Do not damage the radiator fins when removing the fan shroud.
 

 
  10. If necessary, remove the compressor bracket as shown.
 

 
  11. Install in the reverse order of removal, and:
 
          o If a new compressor is installed, calculate the amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system by draining the oil through the suction fitting on the old compressor:
 
100 cc (3 1/3 fl oz) minus contents of old compressor, equals the amount of refrigerant oil to be drained from new compressor.
 
    * Replace 0-rings with new ones at the pipe joints, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them.
    * Do not damage the radiator fins when installing the compressor.
 

 
    * Be careful to connect the alternator harness as shown.
    * Adjust the belt.
    * Charge the system.
    * Test the performance.

2 Oxygen sensors in 1993 Accord? by cybercool

Hi all,
 
When I called autozone for a price check for the oxygen sensor, I was told there is two in my 93' Accord EX. And they're not identical on top of that. Is this true? Can someone reconfirm this?
 
Thanks

Yes, it has two oxygen sensors, one before the cat converter (the one you can see with the hood open, and one after (you have to get under the car to see this one). The one after the converter is a heated sensor (usually more expensive), and has three wires instead of two. Make sure to change the right one. Many aftermarket sensors (the cheaper ones) are universal, and do not plug directly in without splicing wires.
