Can anyone help me??

My 92' Prelude (f22a1) has had problems starting for a while now but last week completly died while I was driving it and now will not start. I have gotten four mechanics and three auto electricians look at it and had the following work done.

- ECM
- Spark plugs
- Ignition Coil
- Distributor cap
- Rotor
- Fuel line checked and cleaned
- Fuel filter
- Injectors Cleaned
- Fuel pump checked

All this has been done and still no success. The car used to do this but I was always able to roll start it. The car cranks well but nothing else. Please help me I need my car urgently!!!!!

Ok, will try that, assuming all the mechanics that have had a look at that didn't think of it........ Could it be anything else, and if it was my belt wouldn't my car of been running really SH!T before it happened??

being an older car i would say it is probably a bad earth from the ecu

i think the plug is behind the passenger kick panel(not 100%). it will be two blue plugs that are in a green holder. take the plug with two wires and bridge it.
turn the reds on and see if any lights flash on the dash. count the long and short flashes
long flash is 10 and short flash is 1. so 3 long flashes and 2 short is code 32 for example.

Are you talking about the diagnostic plug behind the center console? I jumped it and when I turn on the ignition, the engine light doesn't blink it just stays on......

then you dont have any fault codes. i would be looking for earths from the ecu or in the engine bay. just loosen and re tighten them. if you can get ur hands on a workshop manual that would help u out for locations

ok, will try that, but i'll be pissed off if it's that and all the auto elecs I took it to didn't notice it.
