Car not starting properly + dying

[da9_boy]

Hey guys

My LS integra B18a just recently today struggles to start and when it does dies after idling a bit rough.

I replaced the coil not long ago.. what else could it be.

I have new leads also

It just came back from a service so I'm dreading the mechanics did something while they replaced my rocker cover gasket..

I herd it could also be the igniter?

Anyone else had this problem.. cheers

Replacing the rocker cover gasket will have nothing to do with the car not starting and dying on you, unless of course the mechanic done something which i highly doubt they would do these sort of things these days,
you might as well invest in a multi metre anyways before you replacing all these parts, what if you replace the ignitor and it wasn't the ignitor your just wasting money.
Have you got a multi metre and checked your battery should be around at 13.1 -4 or something like that. Check your alternator, check your starter motor, also, if you replaced your leads might as well change your spark plugs if you havn't

I herd it could be battery.. thing is it cranks over strong so it can't be a flat battery can it?

No multimetre but will get one tomorrow if possible

well if the car dies as soon as it starts, then its sign of alternator not charging the battery while the cars on, you will also need a multi metre to check this out, yuo say it could be, rather check it first and be sure, before you go ahead wasting money and replacing unnecessary parts

lo lit's hard to explain over the net man, theres different options like using ohms and all that, and switching the red and black wires around, i know how to use it if its infront of me i cant explain to you how to use it haha sorry mate
