Was driving home the other day and was about a minute from my house when all the sudden car just shut off.

No heat problems, no loud noises, no nothing. I thought i smelled oil right after it happened but could have been my imagination. Looked under the hood and found nothing weird or different, no oil leaking, no coolant leaking no problems at all really.

Now the car will not start and had to have it towed home. I think it my by the coil or maybe thw hole distributor... but not sure was wondering if anyone has any idea of any kind.

 

Also, the car is still turning over. Just wont start. Want to get it fixed ASAP

 

I just checked to see if the car is still firing , and it is but with a very small yellow spark. not very bright

Attached the plug to plug wire and then attached that to the ground wire on the head.

 

Swap dizzys with a friend and see what happens. I would think it's pretty much the whole dizzy, or the coil.

 

yea thats what happened with my SOHC distributor...the actuall housing went out....i finally found out that was the problem after buying a brand new coil and ignitor from Honda. now i have somethign else under the hood so if you need a coil or igntor let me know!!!

 

I put in a new coil and igniter and that is not the problem. Still turns over just wont start any other ideas?

 

check timing belt

 

check the fuel pump ,make sure its coming on & has pressure
also check timing belt,check fuses ?

 

timing belt is still in tact, dont think it slipped still has stock cam gears, Fuel pump is priming when i turn the car on

 

Dont know exactly what to do, gonna try to take it to a shop cause i cant figure it out. we will see what the deal is hopefully nothing to bad.
