    97 Honda Civic won't start
    I drove my 97 Honda Civic and it was fine. I parked the car for 3 days. I tried to start the car but it won't start. The engine turns over but won't crank. Could it be a Distributor problem or something less expensive like a fuse?

    If the CEL comes on and goes out after 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. This normally involves replacing the igniter and coil.
