    92 prelude won't start
    I was driving my car down the road and it died I checked for spark and it has non nor out of the coil I have power to the distributor but no signal also the fuel pump does not kick on and I have no injector pulse there is no pressure in the fuel rail I powerprobed the fuel pump and it does work I have 5 volt power to the injector on both wires but when I crank the engine I have non at all I had problems wikth it before it would crank and not start and I would come back 5 minutes later and it would fire right up but never died while I was driving some one said it could be the distributor they said everything goes through it so I replaced that and of course that dident work I thought it might be the pgmfi relay so I changed that and it dident work next I pulled out the computer and checked the circuit board no problems seen I have power to the computer the only other thing I thought it might be is a bad ground or bad ignition switch let me know if you have anyway to check these things thanks

    If the CEL doesn't come on for two seconds and then go out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Positon II), then the ECM is likely bad.

    The CEL bulb may need replacing. Disconnect the negative battery cable, ease out the gauge assembly, and replace the bulb.
