- Mon Oct 01, 2012 11:25 pm #316952 It's a 2000 civic lx. I have new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, New main relay and ICM. I have fuel and spark but it still won't start. My wife was driving and it died. It eventually started but died and hasn't started since. I am out of ideas. I don't have a compression tester and can't even afford to rent or buy one.

At $100 a hour plus parts I hope they find the problem quick. I changed dizzy, ICM, main relay, fuel pump and pressure reg, plugs, wires, cap and rotor checked all the ground all the power wires and fuses and the timing and did a compression and leak down I even swapped computers with a working one. I can't figure it out.

- Fri Oct 05, 2012 6:51 pm #317326 I triple checked everything. It's either something so simple I am not noticing it or its beyond my skill set. I even had my uncle come by who used to work for Honda from 90-98. He couldn't even figure it out

- Fri Oct 05, 2012 11:54 pm #317351 I'd look at your wires and their connections again. Something could be crossed or not seated properly. I had something similar happen in the past with a vehicle and check those and when it turned out to be fine I looked back at the dist. and i didn't have it completely seated despite looking as such. I'd also look to make sure its oriented properly and there are no gaps with it being seated.
