Tr To The Rescue Please!!
 

ok so im driving up hill and my car shuts off and wont stat it turns over , but wont fire up( im not out of gas.. checked that

so far i have replaced main relay, checked all fuses, replaced fuel pump, sending unit, fuel reg, fuel filter , checked timing(correct), fuel preasure is around 45-47psi

compression test was good and even, same with leak down

the injectors arent firings(spraying) it wasnt the ecu( i changed it out to make sure and it still didnt work..) and it wasnt the injectors b/c i swapped them out with good ones and still same thing

ive narrowed it down to the dizy or wiring harness. what would u say..

what i dont understand what would change in that instant for the car to quit runnning??

Tell us how you know the plugs are getting a spark....-Bob

The distributor has a mechanism within it (I don't know what it's called) that pulses the injectors, which makes them spray. Take your distributor off, put the car in run and spin the distributor by hand. Youll hear the injectors click as you spin it if it's working right. Check your coil for a hot spot too, maybe do that first.

damn it why all the civics has this kind of problem?
i had the same exact prob. on my 94 hatch turned out to be a faulty dizzy + spark plugs. GL

i did that , thats y i know the injectors arent pulsing, i know im getting sprk b/c i pulled out the plugs turned the car over and ground the plug making it arc to the metal

im going to borrow a nother dizzy
and swap the dizzy 2marrow and the plugs are brand new sooo0o we'll see whats happens

any other ideas????

If the injectors aren't pulsing, replace the distributor with a known good one and try again.

90% its the dizzy. had this problem like a year and a half ago in my ef at work on day. couldnt figure it out for a week.

yeah.. im working on getting a hold of a dizy to try it..hopefully that fixes the problem
