Question Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!! Please!

Please help!!!

I bought a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback DX 5 speed. It does not want to start. So far this is what i have replaced:
  • Rebuilt Distributor then brand new distributor just in case
  • ECU
  • Main Relay
  • Map sensor
  • Three other relays underneeth the dash
The engine turns but nothing happens. The car used to start fine sometimes and i was able to drive with no issues now it doesnt even do that. I check for spark and fuel and it doesnt have any.

+1 check every single fuse if you have not already

Check if the ecu is functioning (watch the check engine light while priming the key to determin if it turns on and turns off while priming the fuel pump)

make sure your fuel pump is working, somtimes my car dont want to start because of a bad fuel pump plug.
just try to hear it, if u dont hear it then play with the plug a bit.

I did check all of the fuses inside and on the engine bay and they are all ok. The fuel pump was replaced as well, i forgot that one. I tested the fuel pump with a trick from another forum and it works just fine. I did noticed that the check engine light does not want to go off. Before i would turn the key and hear a click followed by a secondary click and that was when the check engine light would go off and i could hear the fuel pump but not anymore.

Check your clutch switch & ignition switch.

The cluth switch did go bad so i just jumped it. I dont know about the ignition switch. Please note that the engine does turn!

I talked to a few mechanics friends of mine and they keep telling me that it could be the Main Relay but i have tried 4 of them already and still nothing happens.

It gets costly just throwing parts at it. After checking all fuses, start with checking your spark. Since you dont have any, you need need to start with the igniter and coil. If you dont know how, get someone that does. I may be willing if ur close to temple terrace. Its not that hard if u know what ur doing.
