I'm new here and I want to learn more about cars I know somewhat but not enough.
My 93 civic ex coupe won't start and I tried almost everything:(
Here's what happened...
My radiator Has a small crack on the top which smokes alil if your driving around for long time. And I was coming home and parked the car and smoke came out so I told my friend to turn it off I opened up the hood and a lot of smoke was coming out.and I wanted to patch up the small crack on the radiator with poxy glue so I waited for 1 hour before I started that.so I decided to mess around with the amp in the back seat and I believe I had too much bass and when I crank the volume up half way amp fuse blew.went out bought fuse for amp.Now when I go start the car it doesn't start... it cranks but there's no fire.
---------
That same day I had mechanic take a look at it and he did the spark test, (where you stick a screw driver into the plug and crank the car to check for any sparks) and nothing no sparks.
We then Checked the all the fuse boxes for blown fuses.I found couple of them blown.
1.fuse box near the battery had 1 blown fuse which was a 10 I can't remember what it belong to
2.fuse under the driver side area had 2 blown fuses.
Now I replaced all of them I checked every single one to make sure I didn't miss any blown fuses.
---------
Now Mechanic told me to start the car still nothing.It cranks but still NO sparks.And you can smell the gas so there's fuel coming in.
--------
Next thing we did was checked the distributor.The Mechanic tested the wires on top of the distributor and Said that how "theres power coming into the distributor but theres no power coming back out." and told me that the coil and something else inside might not be good.I went bought a new distributor pop that one on and tried starting the car and nothing.Same thing over and over.So now I have no clue what's up with the car.Someone told me it could be that I might've blown the computer or some other relay switches that are located under the dash board.But I have NO clue:confused:
--------
Can someone please help me out here.What to do and what to look for that can help my car up and running again.thanks
