    Stiill haven't figured out the problem with my civic!
    I still haven't figured out why my civic will not start. I did notice that when I go to start my car there is a clicking sound from down around the fan controls, But if I turn the fan on it stops. I don't know why it makes this noise when it is turned off, but doesn't if the fan is turned on. I have replace the ignitor, coil, cap, and rotor and still have no spark. I have checked the circuits with a ohm meter and the circuits are complete but still nothing. I'm about to breakdown and take it to a garage and just let them fix it. I don't want to do that cause I believe it is something that I can fix, but I'm just running out of options and need to get this car back on the road. Any help would be appreciated!

    Answer these 3 basic diagnostic questions for me in a 1-2-3 format:

    1. When you turn the ignition switch to ON (not START), does the Check Engine Light (CEL) come on and then go off after 2 seconds?

    2. When the CEL goes out, do you hear (or feel) the main relay "click"?

    3. During the 2 second interval that the CEL is on, do you hear the fuel pump in the gas tank run?
