    92 honda civic dx. Won't start.
    I've read a bunch of posts on here and I tried the main relay first. It seems to be working fine.. it clicks, I can hear the fuel pump, and the CEL goes out after 2 seconds.

    This problem was random, the car wouldn't start randomly, I was told it had "vaporlock" and that if I left the gas cap off for a minute, it would fix itself and run. This seemed to work a couple times, but now it won't start at all.

    Im pretty sure I have spark. Yesterday I tried for 15 or so minutes to start it. I pulled out a plug to check for spark, and when the plug was out the car started right up... I put it back in and it wouldn't start. Pulled it back out to see if it would start again and got nothing. Weird?

    Will a coil/igniter act this way if its going bad?

    Any suggestions?
