    2000 Honda Civic Won't Start.
    Hey Guys,

    I've been doing some looking around for about an hour now. I have a 2000 Honda Civic LX with 130k miles that turns over, but doesn't fire up. Had to get it towed home tonight. =\

    Here is what I've figured out.

    1. I'm getting spark. I pulled one of the plugs and verified it is getting spark.
    2. I'm getting fuel. I pulled the line off the fuel filter and I got good pressure.
    3. It's been having issues starting immediately when its below 1/2 tank of gas. Not a big deal, just took 10-20 seconds for it to fire up.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Check see if u have a dirty metal in oil if yes u need to change the oil
    If it doesn't fire up maybe something wrong inside the motor like crank or ingition "disturber" I think

    Stayed up all night, I love 24 hour Autozone. ^^

    I replaced the distributor, wires, plugs, and rotor. Car starts instantly and responds way better than it was for the last 10k or so miles. Ended up costing ~$250.00 for everything.

    Good luck to anyone else with similar issues.
