Ive changed fuel line filterf and plugs. New wires repaced at 77k. The battery may have a dead cell. It has been a while since I changed gas cap. What do I need to check or do next?
Thanks, Allan

Perform tests in Sections A and B below:

Begin by:
. Testing all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Perform K-Test on ECM.
What year Civic and what engine do you have? All attention needs to be focused on getting the CEL to go off after 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON; otherwise, the engine won't start.
CELs staying on are caused by blown fuse (usually under-dash Fuse No. 24 or 12), failed ECM, bad main relay, or bad ignition switch.
