Undo the lock handle under the dash and move the steering wheel
SOURCE: Acura Legend Sedan 3.2 lts 1994
replace de ignition module first.. if still wont start good chances is the crank sensor is located behind the timing belt.. my 94 legend use to do the same thing until i replace the crank sensor.. and also if u can afford i will suggest u to replace the main fuel relay too... all this is after u are 100 pcnt sure that ur fuel pump is working....
SOURCE: steering wheel doesnt move up or down automatically
This happened on my 97 RL.
I cant say for sure with yours, but for mine, the gear for the up/down action somehow broke and developed an inch long gap.
Anyhow,
google "acura rl steering column", click on any of the first few links
and you will get an idea of what you are working with.
Remove
the panel underneath the steering wheel. The motor for the up/down will
be right behind that facing down. Unscrew the 4 screws on the panel
connecting the motor to the column.
Once the motor is off,
check to see if that is the problem (it shouldnt be) simply by using
the tilt steering switch. If the motor is fine, check the gear it was
just attached to. It will be really greasy, but check to see if the
gear is sound.
If it is a broken gear, I unfortunately dont know
how to fix it. If more than one person is driving the car (as in my
case) you can finagle the motor onto the gear using the tilt switch and
you can move the wheel into a happy medium for both parties (using the
seat for fine tuning). Once done, and every thing is put back together,
disconnect the motor cord cause the wheel will be able to tilt, but
will get stuck again once it hits the gap in the gear.

When the car is completely cool,check the electric fan(s) for smooth rotation.
Clean/check/change the thermo sensor,contact and wire.

Excavate air pocket in coolant system / check for head gasket leak
This test will kill two birds with one stone.
===
MAKE SURE THE COOLANT SYSTEM and ENGINE IS COLD!
RAN THIS TEST IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA ONLY!
You will spill some coolant during this air pocket purge test.......BE
KIND TO THE ENVIRONMENT and ANIMAL please clean up after the test!
===
Put the front end on a pair of ramp or park your car on a VERY STEEP HILL (radiator facing top of the hill) .
Top of the coolant reserve tank
Let it ran for 10-15 minutes.
Monitor for air pockets escaping from coolant reserve tank.
Small amount of bubbles is OK at 1-5 minute mark
After the thermostat open up (after 195 F warm up) at
5-12 minute mark or after high idle you should see less bubbles.
If you do not see any in rush of bubbles then your thermostat may be
partially stuck or rusted badly inside the thermostat hosing.
Give the thermostat host few gentle taps.
If you see larger bubbles surfacing after 15 minutes then should do a
hydrocarbon (HC) dye test to test for potential head gasket leak.
Let engine cold down and top off coolant reserve tank.
Start monitor for coolant lost
===
A coolant flush is require every 2 years or 24,000 miles.
I recommend the thermostat that has a relief pop-let to reduce the change of burst radiator and coolant hoses.
Make sure you get a new thermostat gasket,black RTV and fresh coolant for the job.

Hello,
You may want to take it back to him/her and make sure that gasket was installed properly and not cracked or upside down. With you just having the head gasket replaced it possible that gasket is leaking air somewhere and your engine is loosing pressure. You may want to also ask him/her if he fooled with the throttle body at all when replacing the head gasket. I would definitely inquire with your mechanic about this.
Regards,
Tony
