    92 Honda Civic. Cranks but won't start. Does sparks and has fuel.
    I have a 92 Honda Civic that was running just find when I got it for my wife.
    It started and ran find.
    A week later the car just stop working.
    I check for fuel, and I can see that I am getting fuel to the fuel rail.
    So I checked for spark, and I ended choking myself.
    I does have spark in every single sparkplug wire.
    But all it does is crank and what seems to be smoke coming out the intake. It smells like gas, it white/grey in color. But if it does not sprak why there is smoke? Or why it doesn't start?
    Please help me...

    If the CEL comes on and goes off normally, when the ignition switch is turned to ON, replace the ignitor and coil:

    It may be sparking but at the wrong time. These components should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.

    It turns out to be the water pump...
    Yes, the water pump gear broke loose...
    I took the engine out to check the head gasket... And found out the problem
