    1990 Honda Civic Hatchback just stopped on the freeway and won't start.
    I was headed down to Utah from Idaho with my wife in our little honda civic when all of a sudden the car just seemed to start slowing down and finally crawled to a stop. The engine seemed to be off. Temperature had been fine, had plenty of gas, a little low on oil but there was enough. The car then refused to turn over. All the electrical was working fine, we had hazards, radio, dash lights, etc. The engine would turn and turn and turn but the car wouldn't start.

    The guy who came to tow us said he thought it might be a fuel problem but then the guy at the shop said he was pouring fuel into where it needed to be directly and the car was still not starting.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    . Ensure timing belt did not break. Look inside the oil filler cap, as the engine is cranked, and verify that the camshaft rotates.

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:
