My 92 civic still won't start, but cranks over fine. The check engine turns on and off like normal (like when the car use to run) when attempting to turn the key in the on position. I've just replaced the distributor thinking the coil or the ignitor was at falt
(it has lifetime warranty from Autozone). The timing belt and components were replaced 29,000 miles ago and the head gasket set was replaced 800 miles ago. How can you tell if the fuel pump is not working? I'm not hearing the two second humm when I'm about to turn on the car. Could it be the main relay, the ECM, a faulty distributor from Autone's shelf, MAP sensor, or something else? What do you guys think?

Check the fuel pump. You should hear it run for a few seconds when you turn the key on. If not it could be the fuel pump relay or the fuel pump. I had the same problem with a 93 civic. I was lucky it was the relay. Good luck.

Check your ignition module on your distributor, if there is a white chalky powder coming out, then its bad.
