Hey guys, need a little bit of help here. I have an issue with my y8 not starting. Driving down the road the other day and it just died on me. It turned over but wouldn't start. So I had to let it sit for the night in a random well light parking lot. Came back the next day to try it again and got the same results. Fuel pump primed, so in my book that was a good thing. Next checked for spark and ahha found the problem. Cylinder 2 and 3 were not firing at all. Got a dizzy from a friend thinking that was the problem and it didn't work. Got a new coil, cap, rotor and new plugs. Installed and it seemed to work perfect! Yay!!! Get in the car after driving it home and letting it sit, randomly starting it threw out the day and everything thing was golden. Drive down the road 3/4 of a mile or so and it does it again. Completely shuts off, cranks but won't fire. Wtf!! I've checked every fuse known to man on the car and there all in working order. Any ideas??

You must also mention what car you have.

At this point, is there spark at any plugs?

Any CEL codes?

Does the fuel pump still prime?

Sorry totally forgot to mention that. It's a 98 civic ex coupe (ej8) d16y8. All plugs are getting spark and the fuel pump is working. I went over all the fuses in and out side of the car tonight as well as checked grounds. It's not throwing a cel code at all :/
