Default fuel pump problem

I was driving around fine until my check engine light came on and my car started to die.
I'm not getting any fuel
I have a kill switch going to the fuel
what can be the problem.

Can you hear the pump prime if you just turn the key to the run position and don't start the car? If not, it could be the pump or the main relay. Otherwise, replace your fuel filter.

Check for 12V at the fuel pump. Check the kill switch as well.

What is this kill switch u speak of. Integras don't have a fuel cut off like the Fords do they.

What code are you throwing? Are you getting 12v to the fuel pump? Make sure you check the connections for the kill switch and make sure its functioning properly. If your fuel pump is good check your main relay, check and change the fuel filter if needed.

The CEL should be on when the key is in the run position and the engine is not running. It is a bulb operation check procedure. Unless you car is a 00-01, the ECU should not affect the fuel pump operation anyway.

Unless your battery is dead the only reason you wont get spark is the distributor, dont just replace it, test all the internals.

Check for grounded wires or a shorted pump motor.
