I have a 93 integra LS, i was driving the other day and the car turn off on me, i cheked the engine and changed the distributor cap and distributor rotor, it worked and then hrs later it did the same thing when i was leaving work...what could this be?? The car wants to start but wont do so, do i need a new distributor?? spark plugs are new and so are the wires as well...also theres oil leaking from the distributor.

 

start from the basics....

-check your gas gauge (seriously)
-check all grounds
-check battery, starter, and alternator (all can be done for free)
-Check IACV (check and clean it anyways)
-THEN check plugs, wires, cap, rotor, those items.

those couple things right there should diagnose something. good luck

 

ok and wheres the IACV?

 

 

looks like this when its off the manifold, (sample picture )

 

ill try looking for that =( ..you think that the oil leak from the distributor might be causing the problem?? before the car was running good

 

replace the distributor o-ring

 

ok kool ill get the O ring hopefully this works..another question i dont have that ground cable that goes from the motor to the front it was driving like that is that an issue?

 

put one on

 

The o ring isn't going to stop the car from starting,neither with the IACV.
