    Why won't my 2001 Honda Civic LX start. Is there a faulty switch or module somewhere?
    Car ran fine until turning a corner and it died. Engine turns over, seems to start for about 1 second, but dies consistently. Added extra fuel and additive, no effect. Disconnected metal fuel line from rubber fuel line near top of engine before injectors, turned key, and fuel sprayed out... ( not fuel pump.). How can I diagnose this problem?
