I have a 1993 civic. Automatic. 85K miles.

Diving it last week and it just flat out died while I was driving.

Here is what I have tried so far.

1. I jumped the CEL plug to right of glovebox, but as I looked at the light, I realized...
"hey, I don't think I ever saw the CEL lit up".
That said, when I jumped it, the CEL lit up solid.

2. When I turn the key to II I hear the fuel pump relay

3. I just checked and I have no spark. I checked by pulling a wire off the distributer cap and "bridging" the gap with a piece of copper wire. I didn't see any spark.

4. Only one time, while I was checking for spark as my son turned the key, did I hear a strange electrical "buzzing" type noise. The noise seemed to be coming from an electrical plug, that connects to the back of the intake manifold.

5. When I first got it home, I had tried spraying either in it so see if it would fire for a second. But it did not.


My guess is that it is the coil, or computer.


Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

If the CEL stays on, when you turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II), replace the ECM.

TxGreaseMonkey... Thanks for the advise!

I was hoping you would answer.

Will let you know if it works.

Thanks again!
