Oooooh. soudns like dizzy or main relay DEAD.

Does the car turn over AT ALL ? Do you have fuel in your fuel tank ?

Tell us all what exactly it does...

not really

mail relay can be fixed free, or minimal charge. this will stop fuel pump from working

dizzy can get costly, commonly ICM ( ignighter ) or the coil will fail causing no spark.

to go just like that I would tend to say coil, but have it looked at by a mechanic

coil = $180 ish , igniter ( another main part in dizzy that fails ) = $180 ish too....main relay cost about $50 too from honda or less from a wrecker....either way get it checked out

Surely they can’t both go?

How much to install round about?

Thx Luke

depends on the mechanics hourly rate.
often seen coils test OK by resistence but fail to produce the goods.
ICM will just be dead if faulty. but sometimes trick you coz they restart when they cool down, same with the mail relay, heat dependant when they are bad.

best to replace both coil + ingiter in one hit JUST to be sure.

But , do make sure that it is the problem...test with a friends vti dizzy ( same model etc etc) and see if teh problem is rectified....
best of luck.

its becasue that item is not an original HONDA part / and or rebuilt.

Hopefully , it came with a warranty....as in the future soon you will be in the same situation again.

Good luck .
