91 Honda Civic 1.5 won't start

pnkl80 · Jan 27, 2006, 06:22 AM

I bought this car...it ran terrible. I had the fuel tank and lines drained due to contaminated fuel. then I had a tune up done to it by my friend who is a Honda Mechanic. It ran but continued to have a miss (w/ no noise) just a jerk in the car that I could feel and my passengers. If and when it would stall I would have a hard time getting it to start back up. The other day when I was driving home it started missing, and missing really bad...then the car lost all power w/ out a sound. The battery light came on and the oil light. i coasted to a stop. tried to start it. It turned over faster then normal (it usually started slow) but would never actually start. One of friends has suggested it may be the fuel pump. >>> Please help!

This is, of course, not true too then

If the valves are bent and a compression test is done then the low compression results will indicated that.
