93 hatch just died?
my 93 cx was just sitting there running and out of the blue it just shut off. Checked all the fuses and ground wires, battery is good, its not the starter. i'm thinking its the distributer, the motor isnt getting a spark.... when i turn it over it just sits there clicking...anything else it could be?
are the cx, dx, vx, non-vtec distributers the same if i replace it?
thanks -nick

Coil most likely went bad. Test to see if you are getting spark to any of the spark plug cables.

if it just sits there clicking, that sounds like the starter isnt even trying to work at all.
just a thought,
cuz even if your dizzy is toast, it should at least try to crank.

but the starter...could be hooked up wrong is my guess... something went wrong with it...but yea it didnt cause the car to stall in the begining... hmm check the connections on it. when i bench tested a starter at school i remember one were the thingy didnt poke out of the starter to grab the flywheel, that could have went on ya... just my 2 cents
