I Have A 1990 Civic That Will Not Start. The Last Time That I Drove The Car It Was Fine. It Has Always Run Fine No Problems.
I Have Changed Out The Igniter Unit And Replaced The Rotor Cap And The Distributor Cap. It Will Turn Over But It Does Not Seem To Fire Off. I Checked The Spark And There Seems To Be A Spark, Not Sure If It Is Enough. I Have Checked The Timing And With The Crank On Tdc The Cam Pulley Marks Are Parallel With The Cylinder Head (with The “up” Mark On Top) And The Rotor Is Pointing At The #1 Spark Plug Wire.
. If the ignitor is new, I would also test/replace the coil. AutoZone can test coils and ignitors for free on their Well's machine. If the problem persists, I suspect sensors in the distributor are bad. This would require replacing the distributor housing--only use a genuine Honda housing. This link may help:
Thanks
I Will Take The Coil To Autozone To Test Or Replace. I Was Not Sure If It Was A Ignition Problem Or A Gas Problem. I Have Put A Small Amout Of Gas In The Opening On Top Of The Throttle Body And Tried To Crank It, But It Never Fires. Does This Mean That Its A Ignition Problem? What About The Pressure Regulator On The Fuel Line?
The odds are 90%+ that it's an ignition problem. Honda fuel pumps rarely go bad, despite many people replacing them. Here's how you can test the fuel pressure regulator, but, again, it's not likely the problem:
