I've got a '94 civic DX that I can't get to start. I can't figure what's the deal! I paid 450 for a NEW distributor the first time this happened and it worked fine for a while and died again. Now it won't start at all. It turns over, but won't start. I've replaced the Main Relay with one I bought from NAPA, checked the fuel pump to be running when I turn the car, put 3 gallons of gas in the car just to be on the safe side, checked the crank sensor to be 350ohms, and checked all the fuses.

What else could it be? Does anyone have any ideas or possible fixes?

Thanks

Check your icm inside your distributor

Test/replace the ignitor and coil. We have had many problem with new aftermarket distributors for Hondas.

Ok. I hate to think that all that money I paid for a new distributor was a waste but I guess I need to test the igniter and coil to know for sure. Thanks
