Car won't start!!

[geo41e]

ok..heres the scoop.
went drivin for bout 1hr, then stopped at a friends house, turn off engine, watched a movie for bout 2hrs (white chick lol !!) then went back down to go home.

start the car, and it started fine...then 2 min later for the warm up, the car turns off by itself..just died, sif u turned it off by the key...tried starting it, and the engine would not catch on.

things u checked and were fine:
-main relay
-ECU fuse
-Fuel filter

i took out one of the leads and connected another sparkplug on it to test to see if theres a spark, and there isn't.

Dizzy problem?
something else ??

[wynode]

no spark = coil/dizzy......happened to me she just died out of the blue! Ben might be able to hook u up with a dizzy

[joneblaze]

Yes...Bren is the official OH Dizzy Deala....shady mofo....

Or, you could just pop down to your good friend Uncle Roberts....lol.
He'll "hook you up" ;)

I assume it is cranking?

Are you getting fuel?

[geo41e]

yeah l'm getting fuel..wah u mean by cranking ??

yeah..l'm jus gonna go visit rob tomorrow in my accord lols

hopefully he doesn't charge too much!!

[bigteethygrin]

starter motor getting any power or you dont get any turn at all?

[geo41e]

everything starts up perfect...but theres no combustion.

either no fuel or no spark.

[wynode]

That's hardly starting up if there's no combustion ;)

[ECU-MAN]

no spark = ingition modual. or coil. does the rotor button rotate while you crank ? take off your distributor cap and have a look.

when was the last time you changed your timming belt ?

[wynode]

i took out one of the leads and connected another sparkplug on it to test to see if theres a spark, and there isn't.

Was it grounded correctly?

If there is no spark, then its a dizzy problem not fuel. That would explain the sudden cutout.

[rly1]

yeah, it sounds like the timing belt is broken, everything u said just sound like what happened to me but it was worst for me, I stopped at a traffic light and that's when the timing belt broke. :)

[Weq]

if i remmber correctly, robert just rebuilt this engine, so i guess its gonna be a freebie if the belt snapped...
take off the timing cover tomorrow, its easy, and see if there is a belt attached :))

[egSi]

whoa geoff could it be that JDM cluster? :eek:
jk :D
hahahahaha

hope you fix it.

[geo41e]

haha lol trav.

l'm pretty sure its the dizzy, i grounded the plug win, and there wusn't any spark, so yeah.

you guyz rekon i should buy a new one? or get it rebuilt ?

[geo41e]

ok dudes, edned up being my dizzy, the coil and igniter both were stuffed, gotta new coil, gen honda $160 and a 2nd hand igniter.

[civicboy]

jeff, did u get ur car towed to hanny'z or somefn'?

[joneblaze]

Perhaps he detached and brought the distributor itself there to get rebuilt, in his mum's Accord? Might prove cheaper than towing to Smithfield... :)
