    91 Civic won't start (how do I diagnose?)
    While driving my check engine light came on. As soon as the light came on the car became sluggish and had problems shifting into higher gear. I could achieve higher speeds by accelerating more slowly. I pulled over and stopped the car and it would not restart after that. I have spark at the spark plug wires and my gas is pumping just fine. The car will crank but the engine just never starts. Any ideas on what my problem is? Is there a way to tell at this point what my problem is by using the ecu?

    Sorry about that.
