Please help! This is the scoop, today i was driving down 64 when all of a sudden my car just turns off, all power is still there, but the engine just cuts off. The car is turning over but not starting. Its a 92 Civic Si, with 150,000 miles on it. I have put around 7000 on the car. I havent really had a chance to trouble shoot this issue just yet, but this is what I have done

I pulled the wires out and looked for any spark what so ever, and found none. So i took off the distributor cap and checked the leads, a little corroded, with some fine grit sand paper i cleaned them. Put the cap back on and still no spark. So im thinking posibly the coil or even the distributor could be bad. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts. I need to have this car fixed ASAP!!! thanks

 

And I am positive its not a fuel problem

 

check your fuses(are they all there and not blown)
check the plug wires (how old are they)
check the coil (does it look burnt?)
check the ignitor (second to last resort)
change the dizzy

 

thanks sucka, i forgot to mention that i checked the fuses, they are good. The wires im sure wouldnt hurt to be replaced, they are old. The coil didnt look burnt, but i only checked the side going into the cap. The car is at a friends right now, but ill check on the rest of it tomorrow. Thanks for the input!!!

 

no problem ,hope that helps

 

just do a basic ignition system tuneup. it wouldnt hurt, and it might solve your problem.

 

Check your timing belt. The easiest way to check it is to have someone crank the motor while you watch to see if the rotor in the distributor turns.

 

i would put 100 down that your distributor went bad. the 92-95 dizzys are notorious for shitting out....either your coil or ignitor.

 

I know this is the wrong thread for this, but anyone selling a distributor for a 92 civic si? thank you everyone for your input!! ill let you know what it is in the comming days.

 

replace your coil!!!
